As some of you know, we live in a small third - floor flat in a block owned by the local authority. We campaigned a couple of years back for some improvements and as of Monday, those improvements are being implemented.
On Monday morning scaffolding goes up all over the building so that they can replace all the windows, front and back. This process will take about 7 weeks. In addition, on the same day, little men in bright yellow waistcoats and hard hats come into our flat and rip out the kitchen. Then another bunch come in and tear out the central heating and another lot come and do the same with the electrical wiring. It will all be renewed of course, but that process will take about three weeks, if we're lucky! So, we will be without proper cooking and laundry facilities and the place will be in utter chaos for a while.
So, if by chance we are absent from here for a day or two over the coming three weeks, that is why.
Wish us luck and infinite patience folks!
