waiting and waiting

so i have spent the whole day waiting in for ntl to come and fix our box. it is now 4.23 and i am losing the will to live and it could be 6 before they come. we have had an unusual summer - no holiday as such but lots of days out and some camping in the back garden. weather has been so dreadful though so not much time in the paddling pool this year. murphys law though that the week we go back to work it will be scorching and we will have an indian summer.
