What a busy day... we've had people doing assignments, people working on boilers, new flatmates moving in, people changing rooms, no hot water, multiple calls to landlord and heating engineer... talked to friends who've just gotten home to NZ, talked to friends in Czech Republic who would rather move there than go home to NZ, talked to friends who are coming over here from NZ... I'm almost getting to the point where I want to scream "IS THAT ALRIGHT WITH YOU!?" after I've answered "I don't actually have any plans yet" when asked "What are you doing for Christmas?" jeepers, I've even been asked that today by an ex workmate who is Muslim and won't be celebrating Christmas himself, in fact he's working right through... there must be something I'm missing here, even he's interested to know what I'm doing, and Christmas means nothing to him...
Oh, umm and... I put advertising for someone else's website on my blog for the first time...
There are a few notes which I recorded in my Communicator on Thursday night last week and I'm wondering if they're safe to put on here... hmmm... OK... I'll think about it...

Hmmm... I just thought of something else...
There have been lots of times in the past when something has happened and I've spent time and energy typing up what happened and emailing it to someone... nice for them, all that work, an audience of one person, may not be kept, then they feel obliged to write back and your over full inbox gets bulged by one more straw on the camel's back...
If I blogged it instead, it would be there to read for all, easy to to find again, and I wouldn't be obliging anyone to contribute to my email mountain!

My helpful tip for today is this:
Have a shower before you let the heating enineer do any work on your boiler.
Even if you know he's a great engineer, even if he's bought the parts he needs for the job be has to do, and even if you're sure there isn't anything else wrong with your boiler.
What happens when he discovers something else is broken and needs a replacement part, they don't have the part available, and that it's dangerous to re-assemble the boiler and use it with the broken part - because it will leak gas and may cause an explosion...
He hopes he can get the part today, but it may not be available till tomorrow...
The dangers of getting work done first thing in the morning!
