Plucky

The plumber is coming to rip the bathroom apart.

He is replacing the sink and the toilet and the radiator.

At times like this I remember I am British.

My ancestors coped with the Armada, with Boney and the Luftwaffe. I can cope with this.

And now he's finished for the day. We have the new sink and toilet installed and there's just the radiator to connect up.

I don't like having workmen in- even refined and thoughtful ones- I feel like I have to move round the house on tiptoe.

All in all, a wonderful day! That's great news.

Is this the bathroom that you painted last fall?

It is.

Various areas of unpainted wall have been exposed, so I've got some touching up to do.
