Woke around 0730 and dozed to R4 until 0800. Got up and made tea. Porridged. Slung a packed lunch together and headed back out east to pick Leon up at Upton Park. Slow getaway, as I hadn't expected the car windscreen to be frosted over again...thought milder weather was forecast! Got to Upton Park a bit late. Leon hadn't much to report regarding his weekend. I told him about my DIY exploits. Started off in Manor Park, then headed for East Ham, followed by coffee break at Tesco in Barking. We lunched in the car at Alexandra lake on Wanstead Flats, doing a bit of bird spotting...the lake was largely iced over, and the place was rammed, like a mini-Serengetti! Ended our inspections for the day in Maryland, and dropped Leon off at the tube station in Leytonstone. Popped in to Tesco to use the facilities, then drove home. Aki cooked a strange tomato and egg curry, which we had with pilau rice, followed by chocolate fridge cake and creme fraiche. Watched a bit of telly. Our viewing was disturbed around 2145 when there was a loud pop of an explosion...we were baffled as to it's origin. We checked all the cupboards, and I checked the circuit board to see if anything had tripped out. We opened the cupboarding to the under-floor heating manifold and discovered the green light had gone out on the pump, so suspect the pump has gone! Presumably it has something to do with the handiwork of the boiler installers last Wednesday, but not sure how we are going to be able to prove that! So we are now heating the whole flat from a single little radiator in the office space...
