We now have no central heating or hot water!

DIARY ENTRY Does anyone know anything about flippers?
We’ve had a bit of bother with water. Like, it was all over the bathroom floor, having crept there from out of the airing cupboard! This was in the middle of Thursday night.
We have just had a new gas boiler installed, and nothing has been right since! The boiler itself is fine, but everything else isn’t. We started to get a constant drip of water just outside the kitchen door, going onto the ramp down onto the drive from the kitchen. The dog loved it. Her own personal shower!
Well, by Friday morning we were going under. Well, nearly!
The boiler man cometh, but I had already told the person who is coming to see me today to bring a swimming cozzy and flippers. He agreed to do so. By the evening though, I was emailing him to tell him to bring a wet suit, snorkel, and Handel’s Water Music.
All the towels and bedding in the airing cupboard were sodden, and the boiler man who cameth said he would take them home to wash for us as the water was filthy and had fibre glass in it. He has an Industrial Washing Machine at home.
Eventually, by evening, he had discovered what the problem was, and fixed it.
We now have working central heating and a sulking dog who has lost her own personal shower. It was a funny old day yesterday!
OTHER WORLDS
Through the veil light comes
Taking us to other worlds
Shrouded in deep love
LIGHT ON THE WAY
Wild place
Though you are harsh
There is light on the way
Never will darkness quench all light
Startling
Your soul
Light will shine in strange, hard places,
Bathed in rays of pure light
A glow appears
You “see.”
LOST BUT FOUND
Hidden
Are the true gems
Shrouded in mystery
Their light changing in each moment
Awestruck
We bend
Bow to the mystery drawing
Us into its centre
Though we are lost
We’re found
THE WOMAN WHOSE HEAD WAS A MESS
A woman whose head was a mess
Got it all down into verse
Her poems were funny
But didn’t make money
And her head it got worse and worse
SACRED THE NIGHT
Where once
The darkness kissed
The light in my bright eyes
The trail of a dance laid on ground
Caressed
Gently
By the moonlight such ecstasy
I never knew before
Sacred the night
So still
THE WOMAN WHO COULDN’T SLEEP
There was a young woman who said
I can’t stand these rhymes in my head
They keep me awake
Just give me a break
And please let me sleep instead
MYSTICAL ROSE
When the morning curls around you
The day presents its possibilities
Though there may seem to be few
Like a soft pillow it welcomes you
Turning dreams into reality
Every thought made new
Skies filled with silver earth with gold
Rubies in autumn’s berries
Sheltered from the cold
Oh Mystical Rose you guard my way
On sorrow’s lonely path
Be my companion today
TIME SLIPS BY
Time slips by quickly
I am too slow to catch it
Oh wait it is there!
