Le chauffeurage

Saturday January 29, 2011    Day 213

It was cold and rainy today. We kept waiting for the rain to let up a bit so we could go to the market, but in rained all morning so we finally skipped the market, which is only open until 1:00 pm. The rain let up in the middle of the afternoon, so we went to the grocery store to stock up on eats for the weekend. We bought salmon and pork roast.

When we checked the mail, we had a letter from a heater service company to our landlord stating that he had not renewed the contract last fall for the chauffeurage, or heater system, despite a letter having been sent in November, and that they considered all their obligations under the contract to be fulfilled, they were sorry to lose him as a customer and they would be happy to serve him again if the need arose. Sigh. We entirely forgot that we were supposed to renew the contract last fall. We remembered it a couple of times, usually on the weekend (which this is as well), so now this is our prompt to get a new contract in place.
