I get a call as I'm walking into the office to say that there is a guy trying to sort out the air conditioning. I didn't even know that they were turning up! When i get in I find out that he's from the mechanical engineering contractors. He has a diagram with references that I don't recognise and we get nowhere. He says he'll come back on a weekend to sort out the air conditioning problems. I fire off a letter to Steve asking him to clarify what's happening.
I then get another guy pop in to look at the two faulty hot water boilers in two of our teapoints. He spends a couple of hours on the main one and seems to fix it. Unfortunately. It stops working at about 4 in the afternoon and i have to report it again.
I find out that there is some of the lower strain of asbestos tiles in the area we're refurbishing. We're going to have to close the area down and get it cleared. Its going to add time and money to the programme. Bugger!
Late in the afternoon I get a text from Pascale saying that she and Alex are coming over for a pub dinner. Bonus!
I get home and get another pleasant surprise as Alex drives down to pick me up. We have a couple of beers and decide to get a taxi to the next village, have a beer in the pub and then have a curry. We haven't been to this restaurant for some time now for a sit down meal. The last time was when Pascale went off to uni. We've had takeaways but not a proper sit down meal. Its as good as ever and Shihab is pleased to see us.
Great evening. We even have time to have another beer in the pub afterwards whilst waiting for the taxi.
Back home we crack open the wine, turn on the music and break out the chat. Its a long boozy chatty night. Good impromptu fun.
