There's a plumber at #CastleCannon fitting a bigger radiator in the kitchen. Since removing one of the doorways, it does get pretty cold in there. I have tried to explain the Nest thermostat to her ladyship, and that given it's in the front room, it thinks the whole house is warm when in fact it's one room!

I don't think a bigger radiator is going to solve the problem. 😟

Now that the dust has settled, #CastleCannon was incredibly underwhelmed with the final Gavin & Stacey. The cast seemed to be working extra hard to create comedy; it didn't come across naturally. The 'party' that led to Smithy oversleeping was a prime example, with the cast acting like they were having a good time rather than looking like they were having a good time. Pam (Alison Steadman) seemed wooden in her (stressed) performances, plus it didn't help that many loved characters were missing. Yeah, yeah. I know Doris is dead in real life.

Favourite bits:
Nessa - Mouth organ
Pete & Dawn
Gwen - Who's coming down the stairs?

Other than that, for me, meh.

Has anyone got a spare room for a few weeks? I need to escape #CastleCannon and the constant #NewKitchen discussions and purchases. This morning at 𝟬𝟱:𝟭𝟬! The wife wanted to discuss and browse on her iPad a replacement radiator for the £45 one I bought ten days ago because [admittedly] now we've blocked off the 2nd door to the front room, the small radiator (that was always there) is not powerful enough to heat the kitchen.

I come home, and it's kitchen this, kitchen that. I get up, and it's...

I feel sorry for the missus. I've had to leave her with the bitching and moaning door fitter. None of our door frames at #CastleCannon are straight, so fitting doors is a nightmare.

The bloke is obviously angling for more money, which, to be truthful, I'm happy to pay. However, I'm a bit miffed because I did warn him when we spoke on the phone, and he quoted me £55 per door.
