No one is likely to be able to say anything to me that I haven't already said to or about myself.<br /><br />Yes, the boiler was a surprise, and again I blamed myself for not winterising adequately, but there is better news on that front which will no doubt come up in a future essay.Marshlanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08275661546055657399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2229246696323404049.post-29081716401202931702017-02-15T11:45:21.375+00:002017-02-15T11:45:21.375+00:00Don't judge yourself too harshly.
