Running water

Today's the day ........................... to shower

This is going to mean absolutely nothing to you unless you have lived in this house for the past three years - and wanted to have a shower upstairs.

The thing is - it's in a brand new bathroom and I think it did work for a week or two but since then, it has resolutely refused to operate in any way. Plumbers have come (on a good day - more often they never even turned up) and gone. They have scratched their heads and got us to buy a new pump/mixer tap/other expensive shiny bit - all to no avail. It was a non-working shower.

But today, Neil the Plumber came. He put in another bit of pipe - or something like that. And miracles of all miracles - water just cascades out of it. We're SO excited in this house - I just can't tell you .......................
