That Was The Week That Was

Explaining why I have not been able to post much of late.

For reasons that will become obvious as this post develops I am creating it from a machine in King’s Lynn library. It is by way of explaining why I have hardly been online of late.

The powers that be at Freebridge decided that my house needed its entire heating system replacing in full. Thus on Monday morning engineers from Gaswise turned up to begin the process which I discovered later that day was scheduled to run over three days (yes, even in an abode as humble as mine a full replacement of a heating system takes that long). The second of those days was a work day, so I spoke to the engineers, and equipped with them the spare key (giving them the key safe number was further than I was willing to go) and instructions to lock up when they finished and post the key through the front door. I arrived back that evening and was satisfied with the progress that had been made in my absence. However it was then that another problem surfaced: my broadband was down. I managed to get an engineer’s visit scheduled for this morning, and the external faults are all fixed, but it turns out that I need a new router, which I hope will be fitted on Monday, though I may have to cancel work on Tuesday. This means that I am without internet access from home at present. As for the heating system replacement that was indeed completed as scheduled on Wednesday.
