Iâd just buy some Aldi sourdough crumpets, but Iâm an idle bee.
Itâs still windy and unsettled, hereabouts. The bathroom window is making a horrible hooting noise, intermittently. I shall close doors against it.
Best nights, Cellarites,

Judging by the Noises Below, it sounds as though an plumber has actually turned up when he said he would.

Not only that, he has diagnosed the faults in both the loos, and he has gone to fetch the parts they need leaving his toolbox behind as a hostage!
Need I add (given who fitted them) that both are non-standard and one is âunusualâ. He proposes to replace the workings of that one completely, since it wonât cost more than trying to find the right bit for the old one and can be done today.

All done in an hour and a half including the trip to get bits he didnât have with him.
Both loos had split membranes; both now have new innards and work.
Hallelujah!

You better believe it! This is a firm with one man in his early seventies, his son in his late thirties, and a Lad in his mid-to-late twenties. They may go on existing, please God.
They are also going to quote for servicing the boiler, which would have been done in January, then in February, except that the man who installed it and is supposed to service it didnât reply to email, said in a phone call that he was unable to come, sent a phone number for someone else who said he would do it and then never turned upâŚ

âMoisheâs Bagelâ reign supreme in the hive as I prepare dinner. Very comforting.
Dinner will be:
Smoked salmon scramblies
Warm potato, anchovy, Kalamata olive and cherry tomato salad
Steamed asparagus
Sounds weird? Prolly, but itâs what I fancy.
Aldi was quite pleasant, today. Despite the fact that the only people, bar three* out of 10 (maybe) wearing masks were wearing their facial coverings under their noses or chins. I saw one mask âwearerâ rub her exposed nose and another wipe her eyes. Ugh!
