A day when I had to remain at home all morning: we had a visit scheduled from UK Power Networks to start the process of installing a three-phase power supply into the house. This is to allow me to recharge my new yet-to-be-delivered car without all the lights going out in the rest of the property. No, not really, but it will make recharging simpler and quicker.
I didn't really have any idea of the amount of work that was required: the first stage involved digging a trench that seems suitable to lay a new sewer pipe rather than an electric cable, but what do I know! The contractors have now left for the day and we have one side of the driveway blocked off with the sort of signs that are guaranteed to make tempers rise when to be found on a busy road.
Stage 2 is tomorrow: more of that anon.
What was good about being home for the day, is that it meant that I could offer my brother a coffee as he was passing en route home from Kingston. And also provide his dog, Fern, with a bowl of water and the chance to frolic around in the garden. Though, given the fact that she a greyhound, she would really have appreciated a rather larger running area!
