Bollocks To That

Track of the day - Brother Can You Spare A Dime? - Bing Crosby.

The bedroom is painted. As of yesterday there's a new carpet in there too. It is the room under the leaking roof, the roof that has been fixed twice in the last six weeks.

During the night it began to rain. Right now it is tipping it down and the rain is coming in again, right where the roofing guys were working.
It is pouring in through two cracked valley tiles. Cracked tiles? I seem to remember roofman telling me,
"There's nothing wrong with the tiles. No cracked ones there. It's probably the best roof I've worked on."
Boss roofman says a couple of the lads will be round within the next hour.
I hope so because water is running down the plaster towards the new carpet.

Adding insult to injury

A letter from the local NHS hospital just dropped through the letterbox.

Change of Opthalmology Clinic Appointment.

Unfortunately it has been necessary to change your appointment on Monday 18th June 2007 at 11:40am.
Your new appointment is now:
On Monday 6th August 2007at 11:00am.
We apologise etc...

They cancelled the March appointment, they have now cancelled the June appointment. They do it every year.
Government guidelines say that two cancellations are acceptable, three are not, so that's the system the hospital has adopted. Cancel two, honour the third and I'm supposed to arrange my life to suit them.
Well bollocks to that. And bollocks to the roofing guys who don't seem able to keep an appointment either.
In fact bollocks to just about everything.
