It is a little sad when the high spot of our weekend was unpacking a new fridge freezer.

With all that has happened to us over the last year, getting married, changing jobs, closing down a business, selling our house, it’s kinda dull.

But it’s also nice that all we had to worry about was when the freezer would arrive, and we *do* worry … a *lot* …

After wasting a whole day it finally arrived around 17:30. Why when we are paying to have it delivered do we have to have the inconvenience of waiting? *They* are supposed to be providing a service to *us*. We should be able to state a day and time and have it arrive then, none of this “it will get there when it gets there”.

Gits.

Today we checked on the progress of our new house. No change, but I guess with the strong winds we have been having they couldn’t do much.

I enquired about having cable tv, it seems as it is a new estate the cable is already there, or at least they have buried pipe or something ready for it, so we would only need to have it connected and wouldn’t need any road or garden dug up.

The reason this has interested me is I want to get Sky Digital for all my geek tv, and have cable internet access when (if) it becomes available to us. If it doesn’t happen I will just have to pin my hopes on BT and ADSL or win the lottery and have a 2mbit line to my house ;O)

Humph. Back to my crappy old Punto. The garage has done a great job, you would hardly have known I had smashed it up (although the gits could have filled up my water bottle).

Problem is, ever since I had my accident (28/1/1999) I have been tootling around in nice brand new loan cars. First couple of days I had this top of the range S-reg VW Golf, lurvly motah. Then they decided to swap it with a new fiesta, bit of a dissapointment after the golf but still nicer than a M-reg punto.

Ah well, never mind.

The new fridge freezer was supposed to be here, it’s now 13:25 and there is no sign of any delivery. I guess we are gonna have to wait in the whole day. Oh joy.

Bosses are back from their holiday on monday. Maybe when they are back I can relax a bit, been one hell of a stressful couple of weeks I can tell you. I had a terrible shock the other day, news report came in saying someone from york had died snowboarding. I was so relieved when I found out it wasn’t them, then had a major guilt trip when I realised someone else had lost someone.

I hope they have lots of great photographs, they have been to my favourite place in the world, Canada.

(sigh) Maybe one day I will win the lottery and we can afford to go snowboarding in the Rockies ;O)
