Mainly toilets plus a nice walk

It's been another good day here, and a great after school/work, but let's get into the update so you can hear all about it.

The sun is rising

I was up early this morning and managed to catch the really dramatic sunrise before heading downstairs. Rosie was dressed in her birthday outfit from Angela's mum and she really loves it; it is very awesome indeed! I took her to school today and saw the new puppy from the farm up close for the first time; she came running over and gave me lots of licks.

Sat in the sun at lunch time

This morning was dead time for the men. They started the day looking into fitting the cleaning/inspection junction for the upstairs toilet pipe however the parts they had bought didn't fit right. They headed into town and went to all the shops before finally finishing up at the CNC shop where a nice man made them the perfect part custom made. Brilliant, but it took hours. While they were out our new fridge was delivered which was very exciting and I got a ten minute break to sit in the sun between working too much.

When the men finally did get back they showed the part they had made (and it does look very good) before helping us to get the old fridge out onto the patio and the new fridge into position in the kitchen. It is a really nice size, and fits perfectly. Angela is very happy. The men then spent the rest of the day fitting the new part into the pipe, having cut it out from the insulation. We then worked together to make sure everything works and now the upstairs toilet is working again. After this they spent a very frustrating hour or so trying to work out why the downstairs toilet pump wouldn't shut off. At the moment this is now working again but we will need to keep an eye on it.

Heading off on our walk up the hill

There's home, in the distance

As I said at the beginning we had a lovely time after work and school. As soon as Rosie got back I took her right back out, with Grandma, for an epic walk up the hill towards the pond. Rosie did very well, with a few very minor complaints at the beginning that she wished "mummy was here" but then she really got into it with walking up the dried out stream next to the track and when we did finally reach the pond she was really impressed and insisted on staying there as long as possible. It was lovely and we were all pretty tired when we got back.

So there it is; another day done. Thanks for reading and back tomorrow.
