turpsJames' lathe stopped working yesterday, which led to much angst. But he put a post on FaceBook asking if anyone knew someone who did repairs and a lady offered her husband's services, and he's up there now. Has been for the last ninety minutes in fact with only the occasional clanking sound, so goodness knows what's going on.
It's been a weekend of minor stuff going wrong, there was a leak under the sink, but on examination, it looked like it was coming from the seal of the wastewater outlet and nothing too serious. Still, my brother is coming to have a look at some point. Supposedly today but long experience shows he could turn up today or a month from now. I also managed to fix the dishwasher when the water wouldn't engage. Well, I say fixed, I remembered what I had to do last time where I pretty much had to give the machine a good shake to get the stuck float thing moving again. Plus, a good clean of the filters, water sprayers etc and all is well again.
Plus, all that cleaning and sorting meant I found a full packet of washing capsules I'd forgotten about, so score.
Then I went to pick up a Too Good to Go magic bag from Morrisons and found once I got there they didn't have anything to put in it. Which is good in a no food waste way but frustrating when we'd driven there. Due to cancelling so late, they did refund the price of the bag on top of the refund I got from TGTG and it was the Morrisons at the beach so a nice drive. But I was looking forward to seeing if I got turnips again.
I watched the Coronation Concert last night and it was okay, I was going to bail before the end but was glad I didn't as I enjoyed watching Take That, though my favourite was Zak Abel who was a very last minute replacement and sang 'Don't Forget About Me'. Plus, that video shows the drone whale which was fabulous.
