okay, turns out there's a problem with our hot water... which is leading to there not being any and from there, no heating either.

there's a leak or something... blah blah blah, therefore our boiler is trying to heat a constant stream of cold water, which is why we have once again, run out of oil. and lo' and behold, yes i'm cold.

the landlord will be fixing it, but in the meantime we also need to have the tank refilled. whoot. another 300 euros did someone say? you'd better believe some of that's gonna be compensated by the landlord. i figure if we'll have spent over 600 for the oil, but would only have used say 80E, plus the stupid thing's not even going to be fixed properly for a while because they have to find the leak... well, i'm gonna fight hard for this one. and in the meantime, light a fire. brrr.

oh. today i bought a barbeque, a cover, a propane tank, a barbeque utensil set, and a present for gerry. i am making a birthday week for him. everyday he gets a present. sometimes a little one, sometimes a bigger one. it will be fun for him... but possibly more fun for me. oh, and i now know how to get to aldi in ballintemple and that the carts take 2E coins, not one. it's always an adventure.
