Trouble Up Top .......

Oh dear, we greet you as very unhappy bunnies, after what started out to be a fine day yesterday.

We have a leak ....... it started at approximately ten minutes past two yesterday afternoon, unfettering itself as an unnerving steady drip, drip, drip ........

...... sadly coming from upstairs ....... and you know who lives up there!

Fortunately, it stopped after seven and half hours, in the end filling a half pint jug of brackish brown water. Suffice to say, we are dealing with the problem via a third party, to wit the lovely Chloe, our property manager ......

...... however, although "both parties" agreed to a plumber trying to locate said leak in order to fix it this morning, while we answered the door and welcomed Mr Derek with open arms and a steaming mug of tea (no sugar), the other party neither answered his door or phone, so we couldn't proceed, leaving poor Mr Derek carrying his wrench, without seeing any action!

Poor lamb (him upstairs), must have tired themselves out with all the loads of washing they did until one thirty in the morning, despite full knowledge of the dripping below!

In the meantime, we've allowed some time for the electrics to "dry out", but I'm sad to say that turning the switch on, trips the electrics, so all does not auger too well and we're at stalemate.

Trust us, questions WILL be asked in Parliament, as and when we resume normal electrical service, you, of course, will be the first to know!!
