I hope you got all of the comfrey root out, Penny, or you'll be harvesting it again!

Ernie got the stove in situ yesterday afternoon, and back-filled part of the chimey opening behind the registration plate so that it doesn't fill up with soot. He's coming back later today to finish the fitting. There are lots of mysterious flat plates which he thinks are to be put in for log burning, but he was going to call its previous owner last night to double check.
It's funny the tricks fluorescent light in a windowless room plays on you - I thought it was brown. It's not. It's a well-worn black!

After Ernie went yesterday I filled a load of water containers ready for the water going off. However, Ali the builder is being mysteriously quiet... Anyway, I have a bookshelf of cookery books to get out of the back lobby and the bathroom and airing cupboard still to deal with by Thursday, so I've plenty to do.

Hope your finger's easier, Kat.
