On the move

Furniture removals
Although we've been in Jed for two years, a lot of our possessions are still in store in Paisley. Monday saw me driving a hired van to Paisley to collect some of it. I spent Monday evening in the Republic bier halle in Glasgow (Krusovice dark beer, most excellent - may be appearing at the Spread very soon). Drove back to Jed on Tuesday to unload and then took the van back today. The weather which was bad on Monday and worse on Tuesday was worse still today: howling gale and driving rain.

Renovations
Meanwhile we've got back to the situation where work is progressing so slowly that it's difficult to tell what, if anything has been done. Work on the servery in the dining room has ground to a halt, the plumber is nowhere to be seen, the electricians haven't been here for two weeks and the fire alarm engineers seem to have given up on us as well. And as for the function room- well don't try to book it any time soon.

Comments
Wicksie, thanks for your comment. No, despite being "transmitted to the logistical platform" there is no sign of the new Mandriva OS. An apologetic message from customer services about a week ago said that they were "restocking" or suchlike. How long does it take to burn a dvd I wonder.
