An update to my Christmas list...
We have been given a Combi Boiler - not a Vailliant, but a good quality, 6 month old, surplus to requirements, boiler. Heating engineer is coming in on Tuesday to fit it, and by Tuesday night we should have a working boiler and a warm house! Hurrah!
SO all I really "want" for Christmas is books...
Having said that, the recent events in Connecticut make everything else seem insignificant. Even the idea of a warm house seems like a luxury, when there are so many families grieving over the most pointless and inexplicable loss of life. Our thoughts here in the UK are with those that have lost thier children, friends and relatives: many here remember our own, similar tragedy at Dunblane and the devastation it caused. No words of comfort are adequate, but know that we stand with you and offer our thoughts, prayers and wishes.
