The old song, beloved of Children's favourites on a Saturday morning was "Twas on a Monday Morning the Gas man came to call...." Well today for us it was the coal man.
We have aqlways had a coal fire in this house which is our main source of heat in the Winter. It heats the water up and heats up about six small radiators when it is going. That is a new thing, my mum and dad used to just have it as a fire, didn't bother with the namby pamby idea of heating up other rooms. We have burned beautiful logs in it for a long time, but a few years ago we had a nasty chimney fire so we went over to smokeless fuel. VT used to bring it in from Homebase or garages etc by the small sack load,but the other week he noticed a coal delivery firm over the road so he arranged for a load to be delivered today, and he came, bang on time with six big bags which has filled the coal bunker for £105. Seems a lot, but like VT says the bunker is full, and we still have last years heating allowance so have used that..Thankyou Mr Brown!!
So we are stocked up for the Winter now, and whatever the weather throws at us.
Then the postman came with a big load of mail. Something strange going on with the post because we didn't get any on Saturday, or Monday or Tuesday but a lot today!! Got a lovely lovely card from Jane, just to say thankyou for the money i gave her last week for her rent. Now that is special, because Jaane doesn't really do cards as a rule,it's a proper card too, not one from the cheap shop. Bless her..she is such a good kid..What a blessing to have a kid these days who isn't involved in anything horrible. I hope she does well in her exams.
beautiful bath this afternoon with my candles and L'Occitane bath foam..fantastic stuff, quite expensive but so worth it.
Cleared out the freezer this morning too, so got rid of a lot of out of date things, and ends of bread loaves etc, so tonight we are having:
Escalope,
Sliced fried potatoes
Mixed vegetables.
