A wet and miserable day today not helped by the fact that the Rayburn is slowly fading and is in need of desperate attention. It hasn't quite gone out but the kitchen is not the warm and cosy place it usually is. As we're a belt and braces type of family we still have our electric hotplate, microwave and breadmaker for cooking. But on the good side the recently serviced central heating is working a treat and we can afford to leave it running during the day so the rest of the house is lovely and warm. And the nice man is coming to sort it out on Friday. Normally Peter would do it but it is a nasty job which often results in him banging his hands or wrists which can set off a P-arthritis attack so it is better to pay someone else to do it. Peter is still feeling ill, he thinks it is a chest infection but he won't go to the doctor unless it lingers as these things are usually viral so there is no treatment anyway.
GOOD NEWS, Peter has got a job. Having taken early retirement in July he's been looking around and after an interview against 80 other applicants has got a job at an aerospace firm 10 miles away. It's for a 9 month rolling contract which in this economic climate is pretty good. We knew something would turn up.
I've spent most of the day at the pc doing school work while watching the trees blowing around in the mist outside. It's that kind of sleepy day.
