Mental Capacity...
I'm posting this here because I think it's relevant.
We've had a problem with our Central Heating..
The radiator in Eric's bedroom wasn't working. When my brothers were here last Sunday we bled it and it worked. Everything was fine...
Monday a radiator in the hall wasn't working at all..
And one in the lounge was also cold. I bled them with no result.
Wednesday the other lounge radiator stopped working.
The plumber came out early thismorning to sort it out for us.
I told him the story and he was bemused..
When he checked the radiators they had all been switched off..
I hadn't done it, and no-one else has been here to do it.
Except Eric.
I asked him if he'd done anything to the radiators.
"Oh yes"..he replied..."I fiddled with the knobs down there to change the temperature..I think I fixed it"
I'm not going to try to make sense of this.
How on earth he's done this..(as it involves bending down to floor level to manipulate the on/off device)
And when he's done it..is anybody's guess.
It never crossed my mind that this was down to Eric.
And if he can do this..what else can he do when my back is turned...
I've been more concerned about him falling and hurting himself.
More vigilance on my part, I suppose, is now required.
On a lighter note..I'm relieved that there wasn't a major problem with our central heating..and I'll know what to look for if it happens again...
