Stopped at Ken\u2019s\u2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u2026 but he was\u2019nae in, ye Ken?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With Flo\u2019 at The Garage, we had to walk to Taymor Plumbing Supplies, on the other side of town. Before that we had a fortifying brunch, at The \u2018Spoons, and then walked for about 50+ minutes, to Taymor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We stopped to say hello to Ken, on our way, at his home on Norwood Rd. He may\u2019ve been out, or working in one of his sheds. Whatever the case, answer came there none.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I bought some sink\/drain unblocking stuff; supposedly stronger than what we\u2019ve used heretofore (in respect of this most recent blockage; you can\u2019t get One Shot anymore, alas).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve used this Rhino stuff once before. And I believe it did the job then? Tho\u2019 using it just now – pouring about half down the bathroom sink, and half down the toilet – has had no apparent effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hmmm!?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other news\u2026 Teresa\u2019s over the moon, \u2018cause the new little faux-woodburner she just bought (off Amazon) arrived today:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cute and cosy!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Feet up\u2026 that\u2019s the ticket!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve plenty to do. The toilet remains blocked and slow to flush. I\u2019ve tried the Rhino stuff, boiling water, and even a plain ol\u2019 plunger. No joy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the kitchen floor is minging!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting the new coat of paint.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So we\u2019re repainting it. We need all this stuff finished – and my car back, in working order – ASA-effin\u2019-P. Pref\u2019 before Antonio returns from Spain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kitchen floor re-paint.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve had to leave a strip unpainted, as it\u2019s a busy working kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cosy!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We love Teresa\u2019s new fire so much we\u2019ve brought it upstairs with us, for a super cosy vibe in our bedroom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
