17th December, 2024: Bhutan.
You know, I was going to tell you I’ve started reading Neonomicon: a work by writer Alan Moore, and artist Jacen Burrows.
It looks suitably hard-boiled: and would possibly grab the attention of Old Peculiar regular, Debbi Mack.
I was going to tell you that a neighbour had popped in on Sunday evening: and an interesting evening was had.
Which would possibly get me a look from Olga Núñez Miret, and my mother, the other regulars, here.
Instead … ?
- I’m going to tell you I have a working boiler thermostat: after I manfully, and wonderfully, replaced the thing’s batteries.
- I’m going to tell you I’ve got the electric fan heater on.
- I’ve got lots of steam in my flat.
Because?
I’m boiling lots of water for a bath: as my boiler’s packed up!
I’ve got an emergency repair on order.
Which should — apparently — be with me ‘within twenty-four hours’.
Ho-bloody-hum!
