My landlady wrote to me in December to say she was appointing some letting agents who would be responsible for repairs to the property and that she would soon contact me to let me know who it would be. So far, I have heard nothing more from her but on Thursday last week a young lady contacted me and said she was from a letting agents and had been asked by the landlady to take on the responsibility of the property and asked if she could visit this afternoon to look around. I did explain the the landlady had not come back to me but the young lady said that her company would not agree to act until they had seen the property and as she knew the landlady's details I believe she is genuine. The appointment was arranged for two thirty today.
When I got up this morning, I felt dreadful because my throat and windpipe felt as if they were on fire and my ears hurt like hell especially when I swallow. As I hate feeling unwell, I got up and got on with a few chores as usual and then I had to go out to the surgery to collect some of my prescription items which the pharmacy did not have on Friday when I collected my prescription. I walked to the surgery thinking perhaps my symptoms would improve being outside in the fresh air but I was wrong.
The pharmacy still did not have one item for me because they said there was some problem with the supplier so if I had enough of these tablets perhaps I could ring in a week to see if they had been able to get some. Still feeling wretched, I walked back home and had a light lunch which hurt me every time I swallowed so I thought that after the visit of this lady from the letting agents, I could have a large brandy as that may kill off any germs (or intoxicate them thus rendering them harmless!).
At two thirty I waited for the young lady to arrive and five minutes later I had a call from her office to say she had called in because she was having problems with her car and would it be alright if they rang later to arrange another appointment. I did explain that I would be at home all afternoon so it would be OK for her to come whenever she had got her car going. The other young lady said this would be fine and I left it at that. Then another fifteen minutes later, the office rang back to ask if someone could come tomorrow morning instead but I told them that would not be convenient so the appointment has been re-arranged for tomorrow afternoon at three thirty. I hope it has stopped raining by then because I can't be doing with someone traipsing around inside and out with dripping clothing and wet shoes.
I can't cope with unreliability, especially today, so I have just had a large brandy and now I'm going to have a nap to see if I feel better later!
Hope you feel better soon, shall I post you Webster? Kissing him is a sure fire way to boost your immune system, I'm liking the brandy idea as well though!
ReplyDeleteWebster would destroy my little water lily tub and he would need a ladder to get in and out! As for kissing him - you must think I'm mad. I'll stick to the brandy because it seems to have improved things.
