Curtains now hung in my living room, so it looks a lot better, and I could shade the sun out towards sunset at last. Not downstairs though, because I omitted to spell out clearly that I was only hanging one curtain. The fitting has a draw cord, which has been assembled for pulling two curtains to the middle. I'm going to have to have someone back to change it, as I can't see how to do it myself. It will involve moving all the runners to the other side of the pulling bit, as well as adjusting the position of the the cord, and it's all enclosed. I did talk as though it was to be one curtain, but did not state it clearly. Or watch.

No result from the roofer, as yet another government deadline rolls by. I've spent a lot of the morning discussing energy improvements to my home over the phone - I can't insulate the loft, as I have a flat roof, and I can't insulate the cavity walls, as they aren't cavity walls, but steel framed. If I don't get insulated properly, I can't get properly paid for electricity I produce on the roof and feed into the grid. I will be having a survey done to find just what I can do.

So long on the phone, I've missed the village walk. And I needed that, as my weight has gone up again, and stuck for several days. I don't quite trust the scales over this. I suspect them of not working properly, and feeding me the previous reading from memory. Exactly the same decimal of a pound when input and output have varied? Unlikely.
