A busy day part 1

We slept well in our attic bedroom. Good job we didn't have to get up in the night, as the bathroom is on the ground floor and we're on the third...
Our Scout ( more of him in a minute) had stocked the fridge with bacon, eggs, tomatoes, milk and bread, and there was also tea and Nescafe (filthy stuff). We had a leisurely breakfast, Colin managing to set off all two fire alarms when he burned the toast, and then heard someone breaking into the house via the front door. It was Robert, our Scout, i.e. housekeeper, maker of beds, vacuumer, trash taker outer, and laundry man. And this morning, bearer of a fruit basket. Soon followed by the maintenance man, David, who fixed the washing machine which had no water coming into it, and the head of College Security with two BT telephone engineers who were fixing the phone line.
We left to run errands - picking up Colin's debit card, buying a few things we had forgotten, and going to the college to check out Colin's set up fopr tomorrow morning when he has classes to teach.

And then a nice lunch at the Jericho Cafe, just up the road from us.
