The C Word cometh.....

It’s hurtling towards us....


Lizzie was quite a lot better this morning so she had a trip to the park - she was full of Metacam but even so seemed more happy in herself so I am feeling much more optimistic about her today.

Yesterday the plumber finally came to look at the shower in the kids’ bathroom, which has been dripping for months - plumbers only want to come out if you want a whole new bathroom!! He’s what you might describe as “laconic” at the next of times, but yesterday he was positively morose. After sighing a lot and condemning the shower he announced he hated being a plumber and was looking for a career change. I should’ve been charging him for a bloomin’ therapy session but anyway I tried to get out of him what he would like to do - all he could come up with was that he likes to set off fireworks. I commented that the work would be a tad seasonal and he’d probably be best sticking to plumbing.......
