A little while back, I was grumbling about not being able to find a chimney sweep who would not only answer their phone, but also
turn up and, you know, sweep chimneys.
Well, last week I spotted a van proclaiming such a service parked up on the High Street. I immediately phoned the number displayed and found that she was actually in the hair dresser's on a day off. No matter, she was happy to talk business and we agreed on a price and date (tomorrow).
However, I was a little surprised when she called in today - a day early.
"Oh well", I thought as I opened the door, "I suppose that coming round to tell me she can't make it is an improvement on just not turning up"
But no. Seems she's got a TV film crew wanting to do a piece on her for the S4C program "Heno" and she was asking if it was OK if they came into our house to film her working.
More good news.
The chimney sweeping will be free.
Right. Better get the vacuum cleaner out and start tidying up a bit.
