Alarms in the night and a glass fitting convention

We waited for the men to come and fix the conservatory window, but they did not come! I finished my library book The Memory Keeper's Daughter; It was certainly a page turner, but I did not really like it.

Most of the day Mas and I spent doing things that had to be done, but took a break to watch Pie in the Sky.
We went to bed early as Mas had an appointment with the dentist bright and early as he had been having pain along his jaw. I set my ancient alarm clock that has to lie face upwards on the floor otherwise it stops. Just as I was going to sleep Salty came upstairs and chewed the clock for a while before going to sleep curled around it, so I had to carefully check that he had not pressed the alarm off.

Mas went off to the dentist early, but has to wait a week for a filling and has to take painkillers!
Four men arrived to fit the new glass panel, one to watch from upstairs, one to do the work on the conservatory roof, and two to carry the glass. They were a likable bunch, and one explained that if he was on the roof he would fall through it, and he showed me grazed arms as evidence of a former fall. In no time they finished the work and left. Mas and I felt like celebrating, but instead he had to dash off for a doctor's appointment.

We watched Pie in the Sky, then had a candlelit dinner, music and a glass of wine.

Cheerful and peaceful times

February 10th, my mother's birthday. The rain has finally stopped, and Salty is very happy about that. Mas spent more time cutting up trees, and I went for a long walk to keep up the exercise. Later I began reading 'The Tenderness of Wolves' which looks as if it will be a good read. In the evening we watched an episode of New Tricks.

Today we went to St. Albans and met Tania and Robert at Sazios for lunch and had a bottle of wine to celebrate Robert's recent business achievements, and had a nice time talking before we left and picked up some shopping and drove home again.

Once home I spoke to Diane for a while, and then Eileen phoned saying she and Alex would be going to New York next week, and did we want them to bring anything back. Later I thought I should have said "A fist full of dollars". Mas is still treating himself to episodes of Battlestar Gallactica, and I can recommend it for wives who need a bit of peace and quiet.
