Talking of repairs, a small leak has suddenly developed on an isolation tap outlet leading to the WC cistern.

Sod's Law dictates that this will be more than just a nut that needs tweaking.  Ho hum, will get onto it after brunch.

Addendum-  indeed, it was a three wait valve that sheared on one port.  Never seen that happen before.  Anyway, part ordered from Amazon (naturally Screwfix nor Toolstation have it, and B&Q want me to remortgage the house to pay for one).  In the meantime, I'll get the loo up and running.

The valve is for a bidet attachment, so no rush.

One thing I did find mildly amusing while searching online was the wording of cistern fittings, specifically "bottom fitting". 😬😬😬

Good morning all,  on this fine sunny day.
I finished potting my Amaryllis bulbs for Christmas yesterday,  so that's another little job done.

Today the phone-mending man has just phoned me to say he has got the new battery in for my mobile, and if I pop down and he will fix it while I wait.  Lately my phone hasn't been holding the charge as long as it should, hence trying a new battery.
I also need to put some air in my tyres while I'm out.   I never like doing that job.

My usual postman is back at last,  so now I should get my mail delivered properly again,  instead of half of it going to other people!
He said he had a month off, so went to volunteer at Hillside Animal Sanctuary, in Norfolk, helping to build  boundaries and new fencing.   I am so glad some people still care.

Tom was waiting for the number nine
It would be a miracle if it was on time
It had just better not be late
Tom was on a real hot date
First he would take her to dine.

Whatever he suffered with it certainly wasn't the act of a sane person..
I feel sad for the man.. very sad...

I clean the bathroom and do indeed iron.  For I am the second coming.... Praise be unto me.

Newton probably wrote the degree!

As for Mr Chapman, no doubt things may come out which give some kind of explanation.
