This winter's seasonal work has coincided with double domestic disaster.
Came home on Thursday to find Mrs Wakemalcolm such in the upstairs toilet due to some failed bathroom door furniture. Managed to evacuate her via the window and extension roof before attending to the mechanism with a bendy scraper and hammer. Got a nice walk down to Screwfix this morning as I've speculatively purchased a replacement mech; hope it fits.
DD1 graced is with her presence only to declare that the boiler wasn't working; she was right. Turns out that my unseemly Bosch premium doesn't actually deliver any Sunday repair (out anyone in the phone).
Coffee, warming porage, more coffee.
And now your typing has failed....
My fingers are cold!
Turns out the fan heater from the van which I've had taped on to 1KW to prevent it from frying the van electrics eats itself on the 2KW setting. At least I know that the smoke alarms are properly connected.
Not having the best day then!
