As we come to the close of the first week in January 2022, let me start with the good and finish with the funny😁.
The Good
Earlier in the week, I had written about the Mhinisteir’s sibling who was awaiting test results for a growth. On Tuesday, we got the good news that the growth is not malignant and so we rejoice. Thank you to all who contacted me and expressed concern.
My sibling who was ill with Covid19 like symptoms DOES NOT have Covid19 and has almost recovered.
My birthday wish for my family member too has been fulfilled as said family member is sounding much brighter and was able to go out for a wee while.
The Bad
The vicarage boiler has broken down thus turning the vicarage into an igloo. Thankfully, the heating engineer was able to come this morning. Unfortunately, the spare part that is required to fix the boiler will not be available until next week! In the meantime, I have struggled to get any work done because of the cold and disruption but as I type this while wearing fingerless gloves, the heating engineer has arrived with some portable heaters to tide us over until next week. I am very touched and grateful because I don’t think they are obliged to do this. In case you are wondering, we do have a fire place but the chimney hasn’t been swept. Since the summer, despite many chimney sweeps advertising, we have been struggling to find one who is available; unswept chimneys are a fire hazard.
The Funny
Yesterday, our cleaners went off with my shower gel by mistake!!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
