So what better start to the day could there be than your youngest child climbing in to bed with you at 4am, crying as he had a bad dream, nodding of in your bed and then grinding his teeth to keep you awake till morning?? Well perhaps one that continues with returning from the school run to find water coming through the kitchen ceiling from the bathroom! Wonderful, a call to the insurance company just served to raise my blood pressure further as they suggested they'd be able to send an assessor in the next few days! Great ...no...not a plumber RIGHT NOW but an assessor next week! Fab!
A friend's husband cam to the rescue and has spent the better part of the day sorting out my bathroom, we were somewhat surprised when he lifted the floor boards and there weren't any pipes underneath - where was the water coming from? We investigated by the light of My Little Helper's Spiderman torch, which projected a spider onto the joist but didn't really shed any light on the problem. Eventually it was tracked down to the loo - great I'm so glad I stuck an empty fruit bowl under the leak in the kitchen,wont want fruit in that again! Lucky Mr FK will get in from fighting the traffic on the motorway to find the loo on the landing and a weekend project putting a new, dry floor down in there.
Is it time for a glass of wine??
This is my creative output this week, a little picture for a dear friend. The colours look a bit washed out and the stitches on the background seem to have vanished. I must get to grips with my New Years resolution to improve my photography skills......once I've finished my sock!
Have a happy weekend, especially if you have access to a loo!
