I`ve just realised how long it is since I wrote anything. I suppose that shows what a plain ordinary life I lead, that I``ve not been inspired and haven`t found anything interesting to write about.
I don`t really know if this is interesting - but - here goes....
My kitchen window has one of those big square extractor fans in it. Through, I suppose the wear and passing of time since it was put in, I noticed that one and then two of the outside flaps which should close the aperture when not being used, had fallen off. During the summer this didn`t matter so much, but with the cold winds of recently my kitchen was becoming colder than inside my fridge! So, when the builder was doing the outside of my house several weeks back, I mentioned it to him, and he said he could get one of his electricians to sort it for me.
Weeks went by, I rang and reminded him 3 or 4 weeks ago. He said he hadn`t forgotten and that he`d get the chap to come when he was in the town again. Fine. My boss popping in with some work and a cup of tea the one day last week came into the kitchen and immediately said "it`s cold in here! where`s the draught coming from?" I explained what and why. So he straight away got out his mobile phone and rang the builder (who he knew). What happened? - the workmen came last night!

It ain't what you know, is it?
In our kitchen, they insisted we have a hole in the wall covered with a grid, right under the extractor fan, for ventilation as we had a gas Aga. It made the place so cold that we stuffed it with old shirts. Every year there's a gas safety check when the Aga is serviced and it passes every time. So it was never needed in the first place.
