U-bend if u want to...

Well, I did want to, and no, this is not some odd tribute to Mrs Thatcher who is not someone I would be inclined to pay any form of tribute to. Rather it is a riff on her "you turn if you want to..." retort in a rather contrived attempt to catch the eye of passing blippers. Basically, it's been a pretty uneventful day - a few emails, a bit of report writing, a walk to the village to get the newspaper and a session (the second this week) at the gym with our personal trainer. But I did clean the u-bend of the hand basin in the downstairs toilet/utility room. This is a job that has needed doing for some time, which became pungently obvious as soon as I unscrewed the pipe. It's now as clean as a whistle and the water is flowing away merrily. The next task is to do the u-bend of the adjacent Butler sink. That is not so easy to get to and, because of the stuff that gets washed out in the sink, I suspect it may be even more gunged up. It's on the 'to do' list but then so are are a lot of jobs.....
