Gah! The oven man finally turned up, one week late. Now he needs to order us a new element. There's a "strong possibility" that it will arrive by tomorrow afternoon, and if it does, he will be able to fit it some time after 4 tomorrow. The problem with this is that I need to get all the weekend's shopping done before 4, since I need to take the cats to the Hilton for 4.30, and the first Wightfraggers are arriving just after 5. But how can I do proper shopping unless I know whether we'll have an oven this weekend, or not? I'd hoped to make biscuits this afternoon, and Pellinor was going to make an enormous chocolate cake tomorrow, but those won't happen now. I guess we'll just have to subsist on cheese.
