The crazy world of the madhouse

Well today has been a nightmare. In order: A trip to hospital (not me), visits to several plumbers merchants looking for elusive parts, five voicemails, four urgent phone-calls, the bank, the building society, the building site, the supermarket, a trip to the vets (not for any of my animals) and finally home. Oh, and I also did a credit reference for one of our customers and looked up drawings for parts on the net. I had no breakfast and no lunch and dinner was a hybrid of Morrocan stew and English veg. WH has decamped to his own abode for a couple of nights so I can get some rest and a lie-in and now I discover my neighbours are back from Turkey and are in the village pub celebrating a birthday. They will no doubt be back about 1 am as per usual singing and making a racket.

I dream of a house in the middle of nowhere with no neighbours, no phones and definitely nothing to do with the building trade. I wonder why.
