Hot and Cold.

It’s not only the weather that is changeable blowing hot and cold. We've had ‘a bit of trouble’ with our shower too. The mixer control tap was stiff and I couldn’t budge it so I had to turn it off before I got scalded. Waiting for Bottle to come and fiddle with it while I stood dripping wet was no fun either.

He decided to take it all apart to see what the problem was. Guess what, he then lost a small grub screw down the plug-hole! The job took most of the day as he had to dismantle the woodwork around the shower and the bottom of my wardrobe to find the pump to see if he could retrieve said screw. As it was not magnetic it will have to stay where it is.

So no prospect of a shower till he could track down another screw from somewhere.

Thank goodness for good neighbours such as Paul who is able to improvise and adapt most things for his purpose.

He has a hoard of ‘ things that may come in useful one day’ in his vast engine room workshop.

Bless him he found and doctored a grub screw for us, thanks Paul!
