Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 16th January, 2020.

16th January, 2020.

Right … I’m feeling vaguely rushed.

I’ve got a meeting at the Job Centre at nine thirty.

But … ?

But, I hear you ask?

I had an engineer visit, yesterday: to look at my boiler.

His view?

The last set of visits, three months ago?

Made a complete hash of the job.

Which I knew.

I’m boiling the bath water as we speak.

But, in this engineer’s opinion?

As the boiler would have to come off the wall so the element could be replaced, and everything flushed, and god knows what else??

It would be a lot to replace the boiler, as repair it.

Much as happened the last time the thing needed repairing?

I have to phone up the contractors to book a supervisor visit, that will authorise that repair.

Much as I did in November.

Hey ho … !
