Home sweet home

You'll be glad to know that we now have a cooker which works without blowing the fuse - my nice friendly and helpful electrician came round yeaterday and found the problem. Some twerp had replaced a floorboard and screwed right down through the electricity cables - how they managed not to electrocute themselves in the process I don't know! The wire was almost burnt through, so it looks like we got it fixed just in time...

Having a cooker that I'm not afraid to use has really started to make the house feel like our home. We're spending this weekend on a big furniture hunt as well, so hopefully we'll sort out wardrobes, a sofa and a dining table. How exciting!

On a completely different note, we went to Oxford on Saturday for Ian's reunion wind orchestra. Tim was playing, and I poppe dover in the evening to listen to the concert. It was all very impressive - I couldn't believe the musicians had only had one day to rehearse. It was good to meet up with Ian for a quick drink afterwards as well.

Sunday was spent at John Lewis, sorting out our wedding list. We got a fun barcode zapper to play with, and free tea and coffee to sustain us. We've ended up with a rather random assortment of things on there - we already own rather a lot of stuff, so it seemed silly to repeat ourselves! You'll be glad to know there's a new duvet and pillows on the list... ;-)
