Monday 10th July 2023

Woke around 0900. Aki brought me a mug of tea. Gas boiler needed re-filling again...the mystery leak seems to be getting worse...don't know if Vince is planning to turn up today to start digging the floor up! Got up and porridged. Did a little work, mixed in with some Wimbledon. Broke to make a ham salad lunch. Decided to take up the linoleum in the lobby near the bathroom, in the hope that it might reveal a bit more about the mystery leak. Chipped away at it with a hammer and cold chisel. Can't say we gained any further knowledge. Had to refill the boiler again, though...it's leaking like a sieve. Vince popped round and had another look. He isolated the under-floor heating system...if we have further loss of pressure, then we can count out a leak in the under-floor pipework, at least. He promised to return on Wednesday morning and do some more investigative works....see what happens. I cooked an aubergine and green lentil stew which we had with bulgar wheat...it was far tastier than I expected! Watched Carlos beat Matteo to reach his first quarter-final. Helped Lynne move some of her discarded carpet about...she's had it all taken up today, and it had been left on the garden path, but she has a new fridge being delivered tomorrow, so we had to move it all on to the street outside the church!
