Personal update - house.

My Christmas present from the in-laws was (of all things) a battery-powered electric drill with various accessories.

Of late this has been put to good use. Guitars hang on walls. Bookcases are up, as are pictures. We have a new boiler, though I had no hand in the installation of that. Unlike my father I have no wish to learn the finer points of heating engineering, for me a rudimentary knowledge of how to maintain pressure in the system will do: all other problems can be referred to the experts down the telephone.

We've had a very good set of engineers in. They are from a company called Britheat who are based in Kent. They've installed a Vaillant boiler. Very neat work, and well finished.

The house has been taking up much of our time. We're putting in a period bathroom to match the rest of the house at the end of this month. Houses hey! I was always much more of an apartment sort of chap. How things change.

Oh well. Do good things..

Somehow or other I feel I'm not exactly cut out for manual labour. Nevertheless with Madame urging me on I find it impossible not to 'do my bit', dammit.

Mmes are pushing us all to perfection.
