Rusty Abstract

I looked to see what the abstract challenge was today and found it was sitting at my kitchen table in the form of Blipper rustycrapp :-)
How could I (or he) resist?
You can see his true good looks in the extra.
Thanks Ingeborg and Dave.

When we got home from Sydney last night we were greeted by an ice box. The central heating had gone off. We had a go at getting it running following the plumber's instructions from last time but to no avail so spent a very chilly night with the help of two hot water bottles.
When we called our usual plumber this morning we found he was off work recovering from a shoulder reconstruction but on the third attempt we managed to get someone in to fix it. Fortunately it wasn't a major problem but with the supply chain issues at the moment we were a bit worried in case an unprocurable part was needed.
It did make me spare a thought for those in Ukraine who have been suffering so much worse.
