In the meantime…

Arrived

1. my Sigg drink bottles
2. my new baby nephew (!SO cute!)
3. the coffee water filter
4. the plumber (I think) – ETA: he arrived, but then left again without doing the job, and hasn’t called to say when he’s likely to return.  So, fairly typical tradesperson experience then.  People complain about doctors running late (and various other things) but at least they don’t walk out halfway through a consult.  Speak of the Devil- the plumber just phoned then to say he’ll be back tomorrow morning (today’s fiasco was due to an emergency callout).  And, come to think of it, I do remember DH walking out halfway through a consult, to deal with a car crash victim with a semi-amputated foot.  So I’ll say no more on the matter. (Unless I still don’t have a functional coffee machine by Wednesday afternoon)
5. reveg plants
6. the planting of the garlic
