The new heating system is now in place and we have some lovely warm radiators and lots of hot water without having to rely on the fire. The actual machine itself does make some noise but it is minimal and the location, at the side of the house, means we aren't bothered by it. However, it is very cold to stand near!
The installation has been pretty straightforward and we've just got some radiators to change now so that the system runs to its best efficiency.
With the coal bunker empty, I filled it with logs which revealed four frogs underneath the pile which has been there for some time. I've left some of it in place so they were able to get under cover quickly and will be happy with the home they have alongside so many other creepy crawlies.
Got a 5 mile run done and did a bit in the garden but Alison wasn't well following her Covid jab of the previous day.
Another plus is that the drain in Stornoway has been fixed and all thanks to a neighbour, Donald MacIver, who took the trouble to dig out the drain to reveal the blockage - solid fat as is so often the case, and then remove it.
That's another thing off the to do list.
I have been thrilled to see a couple more 5 star reviews of the book appear on Amazon. That makes 7 out of 9 reviews the full five stars with one four and the outlier, a one star review with no comment which I think was malicious. I can't believe it is bad enough for a one star review. Maybe I am wrong and it really did upset someone!
