VT got off to an early start today and went into formby for a hair-do! He hates me saying that he says it isn't a hair do its a hair cut. Anyway he has a particular barbers he goes to but he rang up later to say that they were very busy so he had gone elsewhere. Nice young girl cut his hair he said, anyhow he has lost the einstein look and is quite short again. Mine will do a bit longer, just do the roots now and again.
Jane rang up at lunchtime to say that the Olympic site which was supposed to be busy wasn't. They had only had a few phone calls and people weren't sure what the options were and were confused. She called them muppets.
After lunch VT did the lamp outside. He had originally put a low energy light bulb in it, but when he switched it on last night in the dark it wasn't that bright so he decided to use an ordinary bulb. To be honest I'm not that impressed with the low energy bulbs, i find them a bit dimm, we have them on most of the lights which is ok, but the ones by the bedside which you need for reading don't give that much light, and it is difficult for me to read by the light actually.
He has just been clearing the moss off the bay window, while he had next doors ladders. They're always swapping ladders along here, VT's long ones have been in everybody's garden I should think. He came in and said it had gone cold again, his hands were freezing.So it will be a coal fire again tonight. The last few nights he has used peat blocks which are lovely, you get a really nice glow and flame with them, but the smokeless fuel is a hotter fire.
Next door knocked this morning to say that he was going out would he take a parcel in for him if it came. The parcel turned out to be a 22in Television, not that they come in a big package these days.
I didn't do anything much today, caught up on a few websites and read a few things that I was meaning to. Appointment tomorrow so we will be out so stayed in today.
Tonight we are having:
Lamb grills (Quorn) Mushrooms
Mashed potato
broccoli and carrots.
