Bathroom Standstill

A week ago yesterday a shower screen man came to measure up. I rang him last Friday to ask when we could expect installation. His phone was not attended so I left a message. He rang back Monday morning saying our screen was being built that day and would likely be installed tomorrow or Wednesday. He'd call us to arrange a time.

With no call eventuating I rang him this morning (yesterday now as it's after midnight). He said he'd ring this afernoon to arrange a time. I said I wouldn't be here, and told him to leave a message. No message. In the meantime Will and Liam have been asking when can they come and demolish second bathroom to start reno which we are trying to delay till first bathroom is operable or we'll have no where to shower or bath. We are at the mercy of the screen man. If the screen isn't installed tomorrow Friday (today) it puts everyone's plans for early next week up the creek and our tradies may have to move on to other jobs and who knows then when they'll be able to return.

And so it goes. After a few days of blissful relief from the rain a cold front came in again this afternoon and the forecast is for a horrible wet few days. I have much to do outside but if bad weather confines me there is at least also much bookwork to catch up on for the end of financial year accounting and last quarter BAS due end of this month. Sometimes I think I'll go nuts.

To finish the day on a pleasant note I report that I made a lamb mince filling today for tacos/burritos for tomorrow night's dinner (today's), with onions, garlic, chillie, tomato, beans. Rain or no we can sit by the fire and enjoy Mexican food Friday night and watch the footy after dinner.
