Deliveries???

Door bell went again this morning..VT ran hot foot to the door expecting the delivery of awaited wine case, only to greet the postman with another parcel for Janice next door! VT reckons he is going to get a peaked hat and a clip board ready to do a Concierge service for "Lynton Cottage".
The word "Cottage" has crept into the addresses locally. We live in a very ordinary row of terraced houses, which were all given names when they were built in about 1910 ish. Now when people move in and they have their twee little house signs put on the name has cottage attached..so you have Lynton Cottage or Elvden Cottage etc., Daft.. they are very ordinary little terraced houses not cottages..
VT went into Crosby this morning to get some smokeless fuel while I remained in case the wine arrived. he said you could have parked anywhere, quite a difference from before Christmas. He is presently up a pair of stepladders having a look at the bathroom heater which isn't working properly. You put it on and then it goes off in a few minutes not leaving much heat. Good job there are candles in there for the warmth!
Tonight we are having:
A hot-pot or Moussaka..not really sure yet.
it will be layers of vegetables, carrots, swede, parsnip, with 8oz of potato.
Might put Quorn minced beef or Quorn beef style chunks into it, finishing off with the layer of potato slices.
Think I will do the hot-pot since we had a gratin last night which was nice by the way.
