The shooting in town

A man has been shot with a pellet gun in his flat in the middle of town. the police were still there today. They had two cars in the street which is a pedestrian precinct and there was a police van at the bottom of the road.

out with the old and in with the new.

My old bedroom window is out and the frame is in bits.  Goodbye old window. You have served me well.  However, I expect even more from the new.

New window in the bedroom

As I write this, my bedroom window is being removed, and a new one put in.  I was told a few years ago this would happen when money was available to do it and it is happening today.  I was told it would happen yesterday, but it was delayed.  I find the heat in the bedroom perfectly acceptable, but perhaps it will be even better with the new window.

As someone who is not a tradesman, I admire those who work in all weather conditions. I would not like it for myself.  I am also surprised at  how quickly glass can be removed.  They have only been here for minutes and already two panes are out.
