Oh shit!

Consent sent to ICAS. Proxy sent to KHT. I was feeling good about finally getting organised now that the weather has warmed up enough to let me use the scooter. Now, I'm wondering about evil stars.

A few entries ago I was thinking about lightning and quietly thanking Heaven that there hasn't been sewage coming back up through the toilets since the first month in this block - and now? Waiting for the plumber because - guess what's happening ...?

Worse, I need to be in two places at once because my mobility scooter went over broken glass at about 6p.m. yesterday, after I'd posted the stuff (and at least I'd got to the bank. I'm going to need that money!) There was broken glass on the pavement. It blew a back wheel into a useless rag and the scooter had to be left in a shop a couple of miles away. I'm supposed to be travelling with a breakdown lorry to pick it up, about now. (Instead I'm still waiting for the plumber...)

It's just not a good couple of days, is it?

*sighs ruefully* Nope and I'm sorry you're having such a rotten month.

So far it's been a very not-fun year, but at least this kind of thing should be fixable.

has the plumber shown up yet? My thoughts are to you.

There was a sudden, "science fiction sound-effect" *GLOP* and I dashed in without considering how silly I was being - it was all being sucked down out of sight.

By the time the plumber rang my doorbell I was well on the way to having the bathroom clean again, I had time to wonder how I was going to explain - but apparently there is a big manhole outside and he had unblocked the pipes from there...
