You know that thread we had a while back about not doing the sewing before you'd done the housework? well, my housework is now done, so I can get on without it annoying me!
Our boiler was playing up: no hot water, it was just luke-warm and cold in stripes! I had to skip in and out of the shower, avoiding the cold deluge! So the kitchen was a mess: I couldn't wash up the stuff that can't go in the dishwasher, and after 3 days it was getting annoying and crowded to the point of no room to cook tonight's dinner! Anyway, the boiler engineer came and fixed it this morning, and while he says keep an eye on it and get then back if it happens again, so far it's OK... I got plenty of properly HOT water to to wash the pans and stuff and mop down the surfaces. While he was here this morning I got a silver leg and two arms cut out, and now this afternoon I can get busy and sew to my heart's content, knowing that the kitchen is cleared for action when it comes to time to make spaghetti Bolognese for dinner! :)
OK, so the hob needs doing, but there's no point until AFTER making the Bolognese sauce: I always get tomato all over the place with that! And the floor can be swept after cooking too, and washed tomorrow if I don't get time today.
Tomorrow I need to go and get the terminally ill serger back from the OSMG (he's done all he can, and now it's just a matter of replacing the whole machine when he finds me a good 'un).
Now I just need to hear back from the dockyard, and I'm fine for the next while: lots of sewing to do, and no outgoings until I've earned a bit more cash!
