Today's phonecall:
"We know the heating's off, sorry about that. I've rung them, they'll be out to fix it today."
"Wait, the heating's off? Huh. I thought it was just my radiators on the fritz again."
"Yeah, I sat down here freezing all morning til (neighbour) said it was off. Felt a bit stupid about that."
"I'm not complaining. Except I kind of am, because it's too cold to take a shower without the bathroom radiator working."
"...you know, that's exactly what (neighbour) said too!"
It's working now! But I can't have a shower now either. I have someone due for a visit any time between now and 8pm and I can't afford to miss them or I get no meds for a week lol.
