waiting for gas man.
am starving.
can't swallow. or talk. keep coughing. it hurts.
want ice-cream. Some crème caramel would do too, shame I can't cook it. (or panna cotta, which is even better texturally but less interesting taste-wise)
may have to send shopping list to neil. good thing dinner is leftovers anyway, whether he wants them or not :-P

yay!

We have hot water! Turned out to be a fuse inside the water heater (which, naturally, was not the usual size for a water heater fuse, so the guy had to go out and buy one).

Naturally, this minor act of fuse-changing cost us £100. At least it wasn't what he initially thought it was (fan or PCB problem).
