Today was an exciting day for two reasons. First, the new washer & dryer came! Our landlord finally (Only 5 weeks after the first time the old one broke) decided to buy a new one & this time it was actually two machines, not an all-in-one. We were told that they would deliver between 7 – 10am and they showed up at 10:15am. (Guess delivery is the same everywhere:-) Although I told them to install it where I was told by the rental company, they said no and put the washer where they were supposed to put the dryer. Then they tried to put the dryer where the washer was supposed to go and of course it didn’t fit. I tried to explain that it was because the washer was supposed to go there but their comment was – “We were only paid to install the washer which we did” and they left with the dryer smack in the middle of the kitchen. They told me to just get an extension cord to connect it to the wall. How’s that for customer service? So when Scott got home, he and I were able to get the dryer into the space they couldn’t fit it into and 15 minutes later, it was all set. And I did my first real load of laundry. (Ok still not as big as I can do at home, but better than before.)
Today also marked the final day of horseback lessons. And it is a good thing. Even though the bus leaves us 4 blocks from the stables, it is tiring walking there then back to the bus and then back & forth again so I am glad it was over today. Ainsley once again had Trigger – he is officially her pony. And during the stable management part of the lesson, she got to brush TomTom another Shetland pony who is even smaller than Trigger. While Ainsley had her lesson, Emily & I hurried to the Kingston Tenpin to play 2 rounds of bowling. Shockingly, we got it done and rushed back to pick up Ainsley. And Emily scored only 7 points less than me – without the handicap because she too got a spare. We arrived 5 minutes late to the stable but Ainsley was hanging out with all of the stable people so she didn’t mind. And they all loved her American accent. We have actually gotten that a lot here.
Then we took the bus back to Ham and stopped at the Library (On Wednesdays it is open til 8 pm). Emily was very excited because the book she ordered from another library had arrived. Then on the way back, of course we had to stop at the Sandy Lane park before we went home for dinner and bed.
