Today we visited Brinon in order to meet the bank manager of the local HSBC to get an account opened for me. Oh my goodness, the amount of paperwork required! They need lots of documents which we’re getting together in order to hand them in next week. LSS was able to find a local chimney sweep and has requested an urgent visit tomorrow. I think that chattering her teeth during the phone call was a bit of overkill, but it may have the desired effect. I will be paying close attention to how it\u2019s done so that I can do it myself in future when necessary.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately the lack of a working wood stove means we have to sit in the kitchen wearing several jumpers and jackets. We have plugged in a small electric fan heater, and this has managed to raise the inside temperature to around 8 degrees. For entertainment we watch the electricity meter whizzing around merrily. <\/p>\n
Tomorrow we\u2019re off to Vierzon hospital tomorrow to visit the aged FIL and also to meet the doctor who apparently has MATTERS TO DISCUSS. They refused to give any further details over the phone, so we\u2019ll have to wait and see what it\u2019s about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
