The weather has been foul. It started off with a hard frost on the Orangery but slowly the cloud cover took over. With the cloud came a small rise in temperature and incessant rain.
The Gorse Fox whizzed round to B&Q and then on to Screwfix. He needed a lamp switch, some cable and various bits and pieces to finish installing the new lamp in the family room. Installing you may ask? Well we decided on its location and realised the supplied cable wasn't long enough. New cable was fitted with a new switch, then the cable was run to the appropriate place through some more of the trunking.
The phone buzzed. A text message arrived from John Lewis to say the ceiling light was ready for collection. Cousteau-Cub decided to come along for the ride and raid Sainsbury's while the Gorse Fox was in John Lewis. It didn't take too long and soon after we got home Urban-Cub and Ellie arrived for a short visit. It was useful have Urban-Cub there. Because she is quite tall she was able to help hold the ceiling light while the old one was removed over the dining table and while the new one was being wired up and installed. We are very pleased with the finished job. So pleased, in fact, that we have ordered a further identical light for family room. That should arrive tomorrow.
The Gorse Fox sent an email-nudge to Skoda. Within a few minutes we had a reply. It seems that they want to send some documents through but are having a few problems this afternoon, but additionally they have asked what day we this week we would like to collect the new car. That sounds like real progress. (Now the Gorse Fox needs to get a little help from Two Hats to switch the dashcam out of the Qashqai into the Fiesta and to complete the sale of the QQ back to Nissan).
