another VERY lucky save by my guardian angel
cut out of abrar's early, sadly, but am able to make it to the bow bombsite first thing this morning to meet an emergency electrical engineer from uk power networks.
i am hoping the engineer can tell me that he can repair the supply head (since the mains have been disconnected, after the previous tenants had been bypassing the meter to run their weed factory)
the alternative is a new supply, £5k and 2 months
as we are looking at the smashed up board missing fuses and the exposed frayed ends of the supply i say to the engineer, 'it's completely dead...(as i had been told)...i probably shouldn't have, but i inadvertently touched it yesterday'
the engineer gets out his testing tools and immediately demonstrates that the 3 phase mains is still very much alive.
'you touched the neutral. if you'd have touched any of these other cables we wouldn't be having this conversation now'

not only did i narrowly escape death (again) but also, we have a mains supply: double bonus.
steve and calvin arrive to discuss ground works, walls and tings.
together we locate the thought to be missing gas meter (more good news)
mrs.perou, sons and mr.bunny arrive late and we go together for lunch in highgate to celebrate fiona's 40th
work out i started university with fiona 21yrs ago.
this makes me feel VERY old
after lunch return to the bow bombsite to show mrs.perou around the inside for the first time, slightly belatedly considering i have invested a significant chunk of our change into this building.
i am alive and i am VERY excited about tings
