Hen's Teeth (aka Sparkies)

It's a bit of a Cumbrian phenomenon. Electricians 'round here disappear without any trace for weeks on end. The last words before this happens are usually: 'See you tomorrow'
We have friends who have experienced this too; in West Cumbria (t'other side of Skiddaw for those with local knowledge). Their sparky turned up only a few days ago. It must be catching, ours phoned last night and they were here today. Whoopee! We can use the airing cupboard at last, and the bathroom is finished bar the flooring. AND the first fix is done in the wet room.

Meanwhile, Gordon has been making great strides with the tiling........


All we need now is for another set of Hen's teeth to appear tomorrow (that'll be the plumbers then). Oh and can you send that Brambling over please Bilbo, ours still haven't arrived!

  1. Bramblings must be on their way to you, they seem to have left here.

    Electrician has left as well - and obviously doesn't plan on coming back for a while 'cos his invoice arrived this morning! Are you sure your sparky and mine aren't related??
