Sunday saw us make a quick exit from church as Jo was in pain from a nasty tummy bug. I don't remember much about the morning before that. The rest of the day was very busy. I managed to cook lunch and clear up. Then almost immediately prepare for our visitors - my sister, my nephew and his girl friend coming to tea to mark Andy's birthday.
Monday, I made emergency arrangements to work from home. Jo was still unwell. With the loft now cleared - well tidy anyway, it was time for the insulation to be installed.
Here you can see the before and after images part of the front of the house above our bedroom. The before image is really a 'half-way' image. The before image would have shown the area packed with old cardboard boxes.
This is how it happens. When you buy something you are told you must keep the box, if you need to return it. The box goes in the loft. You buy something else. The new box goes in front of the old. Repeat the process every few months for 23 years or so. It makes good insulation. Lets hope the new stuff is as good. It bedroom was certainly cold after the boxes had gone!
There are lots of new series on TV at the moment. CSI, CSI New York, and Hustle are the ones I watch. I have seen the first episode of each. The CSI stories are good, but Hustle was streets ahead as a story, for its characterisations and for raising your spirits.
