The last month flew by, a work visit to London, a family visit here in Newcastle, and then a week of men tramping through the house to install a heat pump. All positive things but each a bit disruptive. The London visit had the side effect of me bringing back a bunch of Mexican groceries from Mestizo and some lovely Spanish cheeses from one of the vendors outside Kings Cross, the second included daytrips to Durham and York, and the third means that after two days of the heating being off entirely the house is now just a lovely comfortable temperature consistently and the shower is no longer a stressful game of temperature roulette!
