Life may have slowed to a trickle but that didn’t stop a couple of water pipes choosing the worst time to burst – one in the loft and another beneath the bath. To paraphrase Oscar Wilde, one leak might be regarded as a misfortune; two looks like carelessness. With water drip, drip, dripping down our dining room wall, we weren’t sure if plumbing emergencies were exempt from the national lockdown. But a nice man with his big wrench came round to stem the tide anyway. With most shops shut, our young saviour managed to source a length of copper pipe from the wind chime in his father-in-law’s garden, proving that necessity really is the mother of invention. We are forever in his (and his papa-in-law’s) debt.
It has taken me weeks to find someone willing to come and service the cooler on my house. Today is a 90 so I’m going to need the cooling soon. The cooler is outside the house so it really shouldn’t be a problem for anyone coming down. Hooray, he will be here tomorrow!
My son works in air conditioning and plumbing in San Antonio, Texas. He has been working 60 hour weeks wearing a self contained breathing apparatus and what amounts to a Hasmet suit.

The sewage pipe behind my house sprung a leak – luckily the workmen came by within hours and I’m hoping my plants will benefit from the feed.

Our water heater has given up the ghost so we’ve been having cold showers … on Monday we’ll try and shop for a new one.

Nothing’s simple in the US. I’m glad he’s staying safe. Two kids and a wife, 4 dogs, chickens, cat, rat and probably fish. A lot depends on him. 🤪
