Kitchen Worktop

we had a kitchen fitter in today, not to fit a kitchen but to fix a kitchen. the person who did the work before was supposed to be an electrician, plumber and joiner in one. bit of a tall order. i wasn't the one who hired this 'professional', but was just as disappointed as Bulbgirl to see the results. finding a decent tradesperson is difficult enough, but finding 3 in 1 would be nigh on impossible, IMHO.

instead we had a chap by the name of Scott Cook come in and install a new part of the worktop. he had a router and jig, and did the business. funny though when phoning around for a quotes from joiners that some didn't seem to own a router. call me stupid but if you are going to fit a kitchen, i would have thought that a router would be a pretty essential tool? suffice to say tradesperson number one didn't own a router and didn't even measure properly before sawing into our beech worktops. needless to say tears were shed, not mine though.

while talking with Scott the joiner, i found out that he didn't have a website and wanted to get on the net 'eventually'. so i found him a domain name www.glasgowjoiner.com and put a few details of his on there, coupled with a link to a blogger blog so that Scott can update it himself. maybe i will help him out more with it when my web design course progresses a little. :)

Danger Hot Bulb!

some people are regular radiators, that is they are warm all the time. my hands are usually pretty warm, and Bulbgirl's feet are usually pretty cold.

lately i seem to have been getting every cold and 'germ thing' going. my body temperature tonight was a little elevated. while watching an episode of the sopranos this evening, my hands were warming up Bulbgirl's foot.

your hands are nice and warm, she said.

i have a fever i replied. :P
