waitingmanSo ~ not the rainy day that was forecast, but quite a windy one... with a southerly banging on the doors & windows & howling for most of the day, including now. Could have gone away with decent weather after all
Ah well, a weekend in hasn't hurt anything or anyone. Breakfast at the local café, then a wander through the recently-opened hardware megastore for a new showerhead. This seemingly simple task was complicated by none of the new designs being compatible with the plumbing in WaitingManor, so an adaptor for the actual water pipe was needed before any discussion of what kind of showerhead we wanted this time. We settled on one that has a hand-held nozzle that, fingers crossed, fits quite securely into a holder for those of us who don't need to wave our water about. For my second piece of DIY plumbing, there were more components & tools needed, but less time & significantly less swearing than last time. The Loved One has just had a shower & reports that it works well & hasn't fallen off the wall, so all going well it will still be working when I have a shower tomorrow morning
My second attempt at a laksa tonight... still a few refinements & wrinkles to work out, but edible at the least. Watched the grand final of MasterChef Professionals & was surprised, if a little heartened by the perceived Underdog's victory. If he could win that contest, I can certainly perfect a laksa...
