I Am Unimpressed

At the moment, it isn't big things that are crushing me down.  It's the little things, like the washing machine issues over the summer or trying to negotiate what bear actually needs to take on his Residential on Monday compared to what he thinks he needs.  Today it was the Insurance cover for the boiler.  Scottish Power are passing over the whole boiler maintenance to Domestic and General.  I have no quarrel with Domestic and General as they already cover the washing machine, and Scottish Power haven't been the worst energy company I've spoken to.  How bad could it be?

Today I found that while the information arced through the air between one company and the other, the radiator cover somehow dropped.  So instead of getting out early for a much needed walk somewhere with trees, I spent three hours on the phone between the companies.  I wish I was exaggerating, but I'm not.  I am potentially without cover for the next month through no fault of mine and it is getting to the time of year when the radiators start coming on.  I feel flattened by it. 

I did managed to get out for a short walk.  We have been very lucky with the weather here.  I've been soaked to the skin and I've been almost blown over but we have had it so easy compared with other places.  Even so, there was this tree near my bus stop.

The trunk was looking quite ripped and I suspect that the whole tree may have to come down. 

I called in to Aldi on the way back and found myself buying some copper coloured tinsel type yarn.  It was £2.99 for 200g, and impossible to resist.  It called to me.  I really need to stick to online shopping. 

Now I am going to drag myself off to bed.  I need to pack for bear tomorrow, so I'll need all the rest and resources I can get.
