2017-03-27 – Shopping for bargain baths.

I’m feeling the effect of British Summer Time – I didn’t want to get out of bed when the alarm went off this morning, so hit the snooze button time and again until 7.30.

I’m expecting a plumber between 9am and 12pm this morning, to take a look at the bath replacement job that I put out to tender last week.  I take the dog for a quick walk when my wife departs for work and then sit down in the lounge with my Nutriblast to await his arrival.  He arrives at 11.50am, takes a quick squint at the existing bath and has departed by 11.53 declaring it to be “a simple job” and that the office would call me with a price.

I spend a happy afternoon shopping for bargain baths and taps on the internet, and find them even cheaper than they were the last time I looked (a month or so ago), so I’m well pleased.   I order the taps, but hold off on the bath until I have an acceptable quote – we haven’t got anywhere to store it, so it will be in the lounge or the conservatory until it can be installed, which can’t be helped but isn’t ideal.

I get a call from this morning’s plumber (we also had one visit on Saturday morning) and they quote an arm and a leg for the “simple job”, so they know what they can do with that!   Let’s hope Saturday’s plumber turns out to be more reasonable – I’ll chase him up tomorrow.

I take some of the Olimax 7% CBD oil that I reviewed last week because I feel that my tremor is very close to the surface today, and my dystonia is also making itself felt.  My voice is better today, but my poor balance causes me to catch myself several times – my walking is pretty wooden, also.  The CBD kicks in quite swiftly, and I’m soon feeling more relaxed – my balance is still pants, though.
