Problems with getting in and out! in The View from the Terrace

Today we had a carpenter here fitting a new frame for our back door and then hanging the door Hubby bought from a reclamation yard. The old door fell to pieces a week or two before Christmas. The man couldn’t come until today and it has been difficult. At first we just wedged the door in the doorway but that meant we couldn’t use it and had to walk around to the front after parking the car at the back. The Hubby put a temporary bolt on the inside which was fine for locking at night or when you were alone in the house but still meant, if we were both going out, someone had to go through it to the car while the other one, that was me, had to lock it and then go through the front.

Both of the boys felt it was beyond their skills to make a new frame and I wasn’t letting hubby try again as he fitted the last one. We have had 3 new back doors in the last few years and I think they don’t last because the frame isn’t right. I don’t know much about these things but I persuaded Hubby him that we needed to get a skilled person in. I was right, he has made a lovely job of it. It still doesn’t have a lock, he is coming back on Friday to fit that, but we can manage until then.

The news is all about the vote tomorrow on Teresa May’s Brexit deal. It is expected that it will not be voted through. I’m still hoping it will all fall through and we won’t leave the EU after all. Chris told me the other day that a lot of his friends didn’t vote in the referendum because they were sure we would vote to stay in anyway. he says that if there were another referendum loads of younger people would vote to stay who didn’t vote last time and that could tip the balance back to staying. Nigel Farage was on TV this morning and even he thinks there will be another referendum but he thinks it will be a bigger vote to leave.
Talking about Brexit, and who isn’t right now, A friend of mine on Facebook posted this joke-

An Englishman, a Scotsman, a Northern Irishman and a Welshman all walked into a bar. After a while the Englishman didn’t like it, so they all had to leave!

I had a good laugh at that.
