So, Tuesday, another cold start to the day, glad I covered the windscreen over, especially as I overslept. My alarm went off at 6.20 am & I pressed snooze (or so I thought), dozed back off & when I woke it was unusually light, because it was 7.25 am. Now I have to go into crazy mode to get ready for work, sort the hounds out and prepare their dinners, I made it for 8.35 am, not bad, eh? It was never gonna be a great day after the start I'd had & I wasn't wrong, computer issues all day, everything being a nightmare, couldn't wait for the day to finish. A quick bite to eat for me & the hounds then off to Dudley to see Kota, my mate's Akita as they were out for the day, dinner & a quick walk in the pouring rain before heading back home to my three.
Wednesday, ugh, rain, what a miserable day, even the hounds didn't want to go outside for long, even in their bed jackets, it's obviously getting cold. Pretty much caught up work wise following my time off, that's a blessing, again issues with technology, but we're sort of getting used to it now. At least the hounds are happy to see me when I get home. Off out tonight, yes, a school night, down to the River Rooms to see the Graham Bonnet Band. A good evening of entertainment, for an aged alcoholic, he's got more stamina than I thought he'd have, couldn't hold the higher notes, but not bad. Although I was on my own it was nice to reminisce the sounds of my youth from Rainbow & the Michael Schenker Group as well as some of the songs from their new album, The Book. Treated myself to a signed copy of the album on my way out. Home at 11.45 pm & I'm knackered as I didn't sleep well.
Thursday, didn't sleep great, but got up at 6.40 am (eventually), finding it such a struggle to get myself out of bed these days. I don't think the hounds wanted me to go to work today either, lol, they kept wanting fusses!! Caught up with everything, so now I can start to tackle the things I have been having to put off. Went home at lunchtime as we were due to go out after work for a goodbye meal with one of our managers, the hounds were surprised to see me & grateful to empty their bladders. The hardest part about going home for lunch is having to go back to work afterwards. The afternoon wasn't great as I started to feel increasingly light headed so ended up crying off from the meal to get an early night. Bloody good job I did go home as I walked in the kitchen to find it full of steam & under an inch of water as the radiator was pissing water everywhere, tried turning the radiator off with no effect (my grip is hopeless since breaking several fingers), tried mopping for an hour & a half which made no impact on the water levels. Rang N Power as I'm covered under a service plan who tell me after holding on for 15 minutes that they can't come out til Monday. Now what??? They advise me to call out an emergency plumber & they will 'make a contribution' to the cost. Rang someone from Yell.com who turned out to be an agent who was asking for £150 call out plus £150 per hour on top, what?? Tried another local plumber who didn't really want to come out, but eventually agreed, £50 later the water had stopped, he turned the valves off completely, discovered a hole in the radiator & covered it with some putty. Glad the water has more or less stopped, what a bloody mess. My life is a nightmare, everything goes wrong. Now I'm off to bed knackered, £50 lighter , pissed off & I'm sure my BP will be high when I check it. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
