I get to spend tonight all on my own in this freezing cold house. My housemates have gone to Wales for a night to be even colder and more uncomfortable than usual. They are also planning on going up Snowdon, if I haven’t heard from them by Saturday lunch time I get to practice my search and rescue!!

The boiler is still broken. “Waiting for a part”. I’m sure if I was old it would have been fixed by now. When I wake up breathing mist tomorrow it will have been three days without hot water. I think a stern phone call may be in order tomorrow.
