Best laid plans....

rhionnachI had plans for this week which involved rearranging the living room, finally taking down the ginormous desk which is taking up far too much room, dismantling the old PC as well, and generally making the place more the way I want it. My plans did not include emptying out the hall cupboard where the gas and electric meters live. However, the Powers That Be at Scottish Gas have decided that they want access in order to connect up the new gas pipe they have installed in the close. There was a leak in the old pipe and they've decided to replace the whole thing. So it's just as well I had planned a few days off and that I hadn't gone away anywhere.
I will be at Largs this weekend for the Viking Festival but other than that I plan to give the flat a good going over. The hall cupboard did not feature in that but if I do what I had originally planned to do then at least I will have space to dump the contents of the cupboard while the gas people do their thing.
It also means having to take an extra days holiday so it's as well that I do have more days to take. At least it's not as if they came to the door and demanded access there and then. That would be chaos. As long as it all goes smoothly and does not gang aft agley.
