Plumber arrived at 12.
He has the boiler spread all over the utility room and has now "gone for parts"
Hopes to get them locally (that could anywhere from Llandudno to Chester) and "fingers crossed .... should be finished today"
Meanwhile I have been to the chemist for Lemsips and the THW, having finally woken at 1030, graciously demanded two scrambled eggs and three slices of buttered toast. That was cooked by me and Minor carried it to her room for me.
She has now summoned him and said that she thinks she could manage a plate of Risotto and a mug of soup
She has also instructed that we wake her at 3 as she has a driving lesson at 3.30.
Oh and can she have Noodles and Quorn Burgers (note plural) for her dinner when she gets back from the driving lesson.
Clearly she does not have flu
She may have my boot up her arse by the end of the day!
