We have our granddaughter here for the day today, so some preparation is required. My wife constructs the industrial sized fireplace guard and I install a stair gate at the bottom of our staircase.
I also need to prepare for the replacement of our bath – the plumber is coming to remove our old cast iron bath and replace it with a modern pressed steel bath. I said that I would remove the bath side panel before he arrives, so I need to do that today – it’s no mean feat, because the side panel is cast iron also, and weighs as much as I do (if not more). I also have to collect the new bath from the plumber’s merchant in Cromer – I begged a favour from one of our neighbours, and he very kindly agreed to collect it for me in his 4X4.
My wife disappears off to Hevingham to collect our granddaughter, and I take the dog for her morning stroll. My legs are still aching, but they seem a little better than they were yesterday. Left leg tremor is suggesting to me that I should increase the voltage on my neurostimulator, but I leave it alone for the time being because it could just be that I’m still recovering from the weekend.
I visit the plumber’s merchant in Cromer with my neighbour and collect our new bath, which is now in front of the fireplace in our lounge – it’s very attractive!
My wife’s parent arrive this afternoon to see their great-granddaughter, and I busy myself with removing the bath panel while they (and my wife) entertain her.
We are all set for the plumber, who should be arriving around 8am tomorrow. We have dinner, watch some Netflix and get (another) early night.
