SPRUNG A LEAK

 

Last night when we arrived home from the pub, I had reason to go into the garage to find my year planner.

It was leaning up against the internal wall, down by the back door.

And it was wet.  I was like, what the hell?  Why is that wet?

So I pulled the other things out from the wall, and lifted the mat. 

ABOVE:  WATER.  Not a huge amount of water, but still water where it was not supposed to be.

Damn.  I immediately emailed the guy who did the bathroom renovation, as it is fairly obvious that's the only place a leak could have come from.

He's coming this morning to suss it out.

Stew is home today, he's taking a long weekend.

We have some plans, but nothing too riveting.

I might even convince Stew to take a tiki tour out to the beach, or up to Auckland on Monday.

I am expecting a new fountain pump to arrive via courier today from Mitre 10.  If it works, we might have some friends who can give us a hand to do the lifting of the big pot, and getting it set up this weekend.  

...
Well our reno guy turned up and found the problem really quickly. Seems the pipe work under the vanity had loosened up due to Thermal 'something '. So he's tightened it all up. Now we hope it doesn't leak again.

We are now helping family with a job.

Then we will go out for lunch. 

ABOVE: Miss Lily's enjoying a pouch of food.  
Stew and I went to the Kebab shop for lunch, again it was really good.

ABOVE: Our 'Princess Maud' has gone nuts! I am so pleased we  dug her up and took her with us.

Stews leg. Most of the swelling has gone down,  but his knee itself is no better. He's seeing our family Dr next week, to try and get some answers as to what is actually wrong with it.  It's been paining him for a very long time now, with no definitive diagnosis. Or if anything can be done to fix it.

ABOVE:  Well, it's been a very busy day for Steve, Bex and Stew!  The kids moved house.  My primary job was to look after Lily (and Marley) while everyone else did van/car/trailer loads from one house to the other.
It's now 4.36 pm, and Stew and I are back home.
Steve and Bex will be doing one more load before calling it a day.
The big stuff will be moved tomorrow, with the help of several other friends.

Stew just checked under the vanity, and it's all good!  Thank god.  I couldn't bear the thought of ripping things out to fix a potential pipe leak.

I don't really have any other plans for the day, I might get online and suss out some travel plans.  We are thinking of going overseas for a week or two soon.  Destination is still up in the air. 

I have felt cold all day long, which is horrible.  I'm now wrapped up in a blanket, and had the heat pump on for a while.  But Stew got all red in the face, too hot for him.
I'm a pussy.  I will be going to bed early, just to get warm.
I've also got a headache... no idea why.
I think it's time to sign off for the day.
You don't need to listen to me moaning any longer.

One last thing, my Trulicity injection stung like be-jezzus tonight.  Wasn't nice at all.  I think the wipe we use to get the numbing cream off might be the problem?  Will try using a cloth and just water next time.

    How's Stews leg? Did they find what was causing the pain? It is terrible here. Just been to the podiatrist and got soaked and the wind is crazy. I'd like to say it nearly blew me over lol. Fat chance. Have a good weekend. Kj

    Is the needle on the Trulicity Pen very small?... just wash the area with some gentle soap and water...if you use an alcohol wipe too close to the time you will get a small sting...lol..Peta

    My knees are both stuffed but I've been walking in the pool here and after 4 x 1/2 hour sessions the difference was amazing. Àiming at the arthritis in my shoulder now. Worth a try since you have a pool handy Stew. Kj
