The holiday rest from blogging has been a bit longer than planned. A blocked main drain, a destroyed toilet and the need in the near future for a completely new bathroom. Thankfully the trauma of it all was made much easier to handle by the moral and very practical support given to me by cousins Alvin and Ian. Alvin has been staying with me over the holiday and kindly extended his stay to help me deal with what seemed and endless parade of plumbers and drain workers and the awful mess, not to mention a bit of plumbing on the side. Cousin Ian is going to completely fit my new bathroom in a few weeks which will be a great relief - sorry, I couldn't resist that!
The long promised article on "Uncle Dick" should appear by next weekend and hopefully the blog will return to normal.
Sorry I've missed a few birthday notifications but I'm sure you'll understand that things have been a bit hectic here.
I am sure everybody will join me in offering condolences to Adrienne (cousin Ian's wife) who sadly lost her mother just before Christmas.
Normal service will be resumed very shortly.
ReplyDeleteVery sad to hear about Adrienne's mum.
ReplyDeleteMight be time to remove the picture of your effluvience now!
ReplyDeleteMy brain can't figure out your photo. What exactly am I looking at? You can leave out the pooey bit, I understand that, but where and what is the hole? Hmm! Very interesting!
ReplyDeleteManhole to the main sewer....not actually mine but close enough! Too close really!
