Takes Energy.......

 
Started the week in a bit of confusion. We had made very convenient arrangements for R to be home Monday for her driving lesson at noon that fitted in with M coming to use our gym stuff and the dog being looked after while we were down the drive at coffee morning....... then her driving lesson changed to 9am! Plan B was M coming to collect R and the dog at 8:45am however at 8:15am M messaged to say he'd managed to lock himself and O out of the house and it's raining. Plan C became waking up R and Hubby taking her and the dog home as she has a house key! 

Sunday we had a lovely visit from my nieceV, her husbandD and their two children C age 5 and R age 3. We certainly don't see family enough as we all live quite far apart. V's family live in Surrey but had spent the weekend on the Norfolk coast so included a stop here on their way home. 

It stayed a social week as I met friendM for lunch Tuesday, E called round Tuesday evening, we were out with the usual Wednesday gang that evening
and lunch with friendsL&K on Thursday.

Hubby brought in all the green tomatoes that had grown behind the pump box, they'll never ripen behind there, so green tomato chutney it is. 
Gosh how the weather has changed. We didn't actually manage to get through till October as Thursday 29th September the heating went on, but only for a two hour "take the chill off" boost. 

We've also been hit by the energy companies collapsing, ours went and we got moved to British Gas which will be much more expensive. When it all calms down we'll see what other options are still available. 

That's about it for another week. Take care.

We've got through to October without putting heating on but did put Aga on on Friday 1st as it had gotten very cold. Unfortunately it decided to stop working after 36 hours :-( So a service visit booked as its due anyway and our engineer had messaged to say its service was due. on the plus side it s so much warmer today that we are not missing it as much as we otherwise would.

Our energy is fixed fr another 18months (we signed a 2 year fix) so hope they don't suffer the same fate as yours.

PS I sent a load of wool back with E for you to do with it whatever you like. You can rip apart what has been made and theres plenty of unused balls. Thought you may be able to use as quite nice colour - if not please feel free to pass on! xx

Thank you so much for the wool. I haven't seen it yet as haven't seen Daughter. After a Kentwell she keeps her distance from us for a little while just to make sure. xx
