The housing association finally got back to me and recommended I have a satellite system installed if I want to get any more than four tv channels, so I’m waiting inside for the freesat engineer to arrive and install one. I’d previously been told he/she would arrive some time between 0900 and 1800, and I didn’t receive the promised phone call this morning with more detail. Ho hum.

Rather than use this time in a useful fashion, I’ve just written a rather long rant. I think I’d better have some lunch and read it over this afternoon before posting in case I’ve been too vociferous at any point - I do tend to lapse into ‘the whole world is against me’-mode at those times
