After nine days without lighting this meme says it all for my feelings today.
I woke this morning with the hope that today would be the last shower by candlelight, the last food prep using the downlights in the kitchen the last blog written with a lamp from my bedroom sitting next to me on the desk.
I arrived home after the school run this morning just in time to make myself a coffee before the builder and the electrician turned up.
They set to work disconnection switches and lights, isolating each room after it had been checked.
By mid-afternoon they had narrowed it down to a set of redundant pendant lights in the old kitchen, So tomorrow they will isolate them and run a wire to a plug. If the lights suddenly spring into life then they will renew the connection missing out the string of three old fittings. So it is defo fingers, toes and eyes I will be crossing in the hope that things will be illuminated by tomorrow.
I received a parcel in the post this morning it was a pair of earrings which I had bought myself as a treat. One ear is a drip of honey and the other ear is a bee. They are a bit tricky to get in but look lovely when they are. I am probably the world's worst at taking selfie pictures so I do apologise for the last photo as I tried to take a photo of me wearing the honey drip earring. They came in their own handmade box which I thought was a nice touch.
When I went to make my tea tonight I found that my oven had given up the ghost as well, I am truly not having a good week. The grill and the clock are working perfectly but since the electricity was turned off for a while this afternoon the double oven won't switch on. So the plans I had for tea had to be shelved and I partook on some beans on toast with a couple of poached eggs. To be honest it is a go-to meal I really like.
I am now gearing up to go to Elm Ridge Church at 6.30 to try on my costume for my part as Mary in the Journey 2 Bethlehem production next week, haha, I may get to see my baby again, he has been shut in a box in the church attic since 2019 poor thing.
