Pissed off Day

Today after a lot of hassle I got a time for the gas engineer to come (we have not had any hot water since Thursday last! He duly arrived at 1045h and did the repair, the only thing being he misplaced a screw (ie dropped it) that was necessary for the job to be finished properly. An hour later and after some furniture removing we found the screw under the washer!
From him as we were searching for the screw I also learnt how to check the snow for the risk of avalanche, and how to navigate off the mountain in a white out which I found very interesting.
Two cuppas and two and a bit hours later he was on his way, I thought job well done until this evening when yes guess what we not only have no hot water we have now got NO heating. Phoned Scottish gas now awaiting a call from a manager--dream on.
Up early washed and breakfast took Ruaridh to the woods early due to the engineer coming. Made dog biscuits this morning, then when the engineer left had lunch. Phoned mum she still sounds to be full of a cold, however she says she is feeling better. Did some knitting then took Ruaridh on a long walk, met a lovely lady had a blether about the beauty of Scotland the mountains and glens.
Graham home had a cuppa, dinner tonight salmon in cream sauce, pasta, salad and homemade bread-Hmmm, courtesy of Graham.
Not freezing but getting colder, to bed work in am. Goodnight.
