Well the day is not over yet, so there is still scope, but I am hoping
that the early mornings realisation that the drain was blocked and
SWMBO expected me to go fix it will probably take some beating for fun
Christmas tasks! (24 drain rods later, (and I will spare any further
description), and I just had my second shower of the day)

No competition from me. A few days ago, realised that stopcock under
sink was leaking. (Had already changed the washing machine tap, and it
must have been using the stopcock that made it leak. Or at least
escalate a weep into a leak.) Then realised that the whole cupboard, and
the one next to it, were sodden.

Managed to get replacements day before yesterday. Am now fitting them -
and the job *MUST* be done ready for dinner... (Just as well it is only
the two of us.)

Got the old unit out, the tap changed, then ran out of time. :-( Now
cooking dinner in a kitchen with a sink suspended in mid-air.

Those taps with horseshoe thingies - I wish they wouldn't make the bolts
out of steel. It rusts. Badly. Takes ages and enormous effort to remove.
Not enough space for an angle grinder. :-( O well, the new ones have
brass bolt and nut. :-)

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.
