SLOW START TO THE WEEK!

I know it's not yet Monday lunchtime, but this morning really seems to have dragged. Admittedly we were up early waiting for the dishwasher repair man to ring and let us know what time he intends to be here. That hasn't happened yet - none of it, not even the phonecall. To be honest, the dishwasher IS currently working, but the problem is that it sometimes decides not to, so I think we are justified in calling an engineer out, although he'll no doubt make a song and dance out of it when he realises that it is working today. The coffee shops all seem to be a bit slow as well. I had an email from Applebys late last night letting me know that trade is really slow and they've still got supplies in the freezer so don't need a delivery yet. Radcliffes are certainly ordering less than they did before Christmas. Not that I mind too much - it's quite pleasant having a bit of extra time to myself. And anyway, it won't be long before people give up their New Year diets!! Still getting over the disappointment of yesterday's match. Listening to the pundits and the likes of Dermot Gallagher explaining why it SHOULD have been allowed isn't really helping either!
