It's racing towards 7.15pmpm now.. dark of course.
Itook delivery of the new hardback which is the Andrew Lowrie .. book ''Entitled'' the Rise and fall of the house of York... and it's clearly been used rather than new, so I've just been chatting with Amazon about getting a replacement and they're sending me a new one out tomorrow.
The £30 they gave me the other day on a gift card ..I've spent already..I got a new stepstool...some surgical dressings.. and this book.... but now I'll have to wait until tomorrow for the replacement, altho' they don't want this one I have here, back....
In the meantime this afternoon I've also been repairing the Venetian Window blind Tilt wand here in the office room, it had sheared off at the tip where it joins the blind tiwst connection.. so I had to repair that today.. hopefully that will last for a while
I also had to order a a new office chair... the one I have now I've had for 7 years , it's still in great condition but the hydraulic gas lift cylinder doesn't work any more.. I tried just using thicker cushions to sit on but they kept sliding off... and I'm sitting so low to the floor, I'm having to stretch up to see the computer. Just replacing the Cylinder , will cost £40, plus a lot of hassle for me to try and refit it myself.. so I just bought a new chair.. which only cost £55... ..this is where I miss having my X around he would have fixed it in minutes...
This is the one I currently have...
I'll donate this chair, someone will, find a use for it or replace the Gas lift cylinder..
..this is the one I've just bought ( not I hasten to add, from Amazon)
