Switched on

It's a glorious day. The sun is out, it's warm, there's just the slightest of breezes. Perfect day for the start of (meteorological) autumn.

The day has featured various inconsequential bits and pieces. The Gorse Fox started by mending a couple of the vertical blinds where a clumsy foot had broken the weight pockets at the base. This didn't take too long and was achieved with some double sided sticky tape. The Gorse Fox hopes that it lasts, given they are in full sun and it may cause the adhesive to dry out or decay. Next on the agenda got bumped down the list when the Nespresso machine failed to produce adequate foamed milk. The Gorse Fox spent 30 minutes on the phone with their technical department and in the end we decided that the Gorse Fox had already done everything they could suggest so they are send a replacement unit.

Next we had to schedule a visit from the company who service the fire... and then pop out and do some shopping. This included a trip to Screwfix where we added a 12mm brad point bit to the toolkit. This was needed so that the Gorse Fox could finish fitting the switches that he installed a few weeks ago in the lounge.

Next the rill needed to be cleared of blanket weed. Considering it has only had water in for the last week, the stuff had gone crazy and came out in huge sheets (or should that be blankets).

We're now having a quiet hour before the Silver Vixen's cousins from Brighton arrive.
