- We had another leak from our bathroom into the server/fusebox cupboard below, caused again by the bath’s shower wand dribbling into its housing and through the floor. Thankfully, unlike last time, no electronics were damaged. I’d like to disconnect the damn wand entirely but it looks like that would require ripping out the bath.
- Next door have started building their own garden room level with mine. So far their builders have been reasonably quiet while they laid the foundations. I’m just hoping there’s no subsidence to my room caused by digging so close.
- I watched the Nintendo Switch 2 announcement. Of course I want one. There’s not much fun in the world right now; thank goodness for Nintendo.
- While on a work Zoom call I had a missed call from my elderly neighbour. I assumed he wanted to talk about our hedge or the bins. And then the window cleaner arrived so I needed to go down the side to unlock the gate. It was then that I heard my neighbour call over the fence that he’d had a fall. It had only been ten minutes since his phone call, but I did feel guilty, lifting him back up onto his feet. Thankfully, just a small cut and no real harm done.
- And then it was my turn for an injury. Playing football in the sunny park with H, I twisted my ankle in a crater in the goalmouth. I heard a crunch and feared the worst but I was able to hobble home across the road. I’ve been following the RICE method: Resting, Icing it, wearing a Compression sock and Elevating it. The swelling has reduced but I’m still limping. Annoying.
