Mar. 11th, 2008 03:59 pmWhat sort of person gets a new boiler and doesn't get one with a timer? For serious. "No, I hate the idea of waking up in the morning and being warm! I want to go down to the cellar every time I need to put the heating on! That is what I like!"
Luckily, the plumber has found a timer for this model and can install it when he's there tomorrow putting a radiator back on (it had to come off for the damp-proofing to go on, of course!) and replacing a bit of lead piping with copper.
(And this is what I'm thinking about ALL THE TIME at the moment. I wake up at about 6 o'clock especially so my brain can devote more time to worrying about this sort of shit. Or, when it fancies a change, all the money that I'm forking out to pay for this sort of shit. It is both dull and stressful. I try to distract myself by thinking of GIANT SQUIDS [1] and the men that love them, or doing some garden planning. It sometimes works. I have not so far designed a squid-shaped garden.)
[1]When is the turning point for gigantitude in a squid? Are there, as Mason (2008) maintains, squid that are merely jolly tall?
Why are there no GIANT OCTOPUSES, anyway?
