Anyway, the boiler man came the next day and got it going again, but we found a tiny leak from the radiator in my bedroom, which could be causing the pressure in the system to drop. We need a new valve- goodness only knows how long that will take to come, and in the meantime there is a chance the boiler might break down again at any time. The heating did work last night. Fingers crossed for today.
I was randomly looking through craft blogs and came across several devoted to Sasha dolls. I bought one of these for a couple of quid at a church fete way back in the eighties, and it has been languishing about gathering dust pretty much since then. I now realise these things are worth a fortune! Several hundred pounds if in good condition, even without the original clothing! I cleaned my one up, and combed her hair (fun)- and she is in very good condition, still has original stringing for her joints, unfaded paint on her features and can stand unaided. I made a new set of clothes and she now stands on the shelf in my bedroom. I won't let her gather dust again!
The big news is that Pea has settled in well at school. He looks so grown up in his uniform, and I feel so old…
