DAYS OUT & iN: Walking March, DIY, Etc.

Stopped at Ken’s…
… but he was’nae in, ye Ken?

With Flo’ 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 ‘Spoons, and then walked for about 50+ minutes, to Taymor.

We stopped to say hello to Ken, on our way, at his home on Norwood Rd. He may’ve been out, or working in one of his sheds. Whatever the case, answer came there none.

I bought some sink/drain unblocking stuff; supposedly stronger than what we’ve used heretofore (in respect of this most recent blockage; you can’t get One Shot anymore, alas).

I’ve used this Rhino stuff once before. And I believe it did the job then? Tho’ using it just now – pouring about half down the bathroom sink, and half down the toilet – has had no apparent effect.

Hmmm!?

In other news… Teresa’s over the moon, ‘cause the new little faux-woodburner she just bought (off Amazon) arrived today:

Cute and cosy!
Feet up… that’s the ticket!

We’ve plenty to do. The toilet remains blocked and slow to flush. I’ve tried the Rhino stuff, boiling water, and even a plain ol’ plunger. No joy!

And the kitchen floor is minging!

So we’re repainting it. We need all this stuff finished – and my car back, in working order – ASA-effin’-P. Pref’ before Antonio returns from Spain.

Kitchen floor re-paint.

I’ve had to leave a strip unpainted, as it’s a busy working kitchen.

Cosy!

We love Teresa’s new fire so much we’ve brought it upstairs with us, for a super cosy vibe in our bedroom.
