Well, I woke at ten to five this morning, got up 6.30 and came down to await the delivery of my greenhouse glass, with my handyman all set up to come on Tuesday and fit it. Just before 8.30, the chap appeared and unloaded the cardboard package which was the glass. I set to with my sharp penknife and opened it to check it - and found the first piece broken in 3 pieces and the bottom edge of all the others chipped and crumbling - obviously where someone had put it down too heavily in the back of the van . . . I told the driver to take it back and have since written to the company to request replacement glass - UNBROKEN please - as soon as possible. At this rate, I shall still be waiting for it to be completed next autumn, and the before-the-winter jobs of gutter cleaning, downpipe unclogging and replacement tiles on the stable roof, plus putting in the gutter hedgehogs . . . to keep the leaves out, have still not been done either. A bit blardy late now. If he had TOLD me I'd need to wait 6 mths I'd have gone elsewhere.
I went to Llandod again this morning, and did some shopping for Danny as they had to go back to Carmarthen to do the final cleaning bits on the flat. I found some of their washing which needed doing - they had no chance to get it dry whilst packing. They're cooking for themselves from now on, and we're having a roast tomorrow. Emma being veggie, has a cheese and spinach lattice instead.
