We have had hardly any sleep last night. When I came back from the W.I. I found that the toilet was blocked. At midnight we went out into the pitch black night to discover that the whole bathroom system was blocked and the excess water was overflowing into the garden. What a mess! We naturally tried to plunge it etc but only made it worse. we poured bleach, Bi Carb and other cleaning fluid all around to no avail. Then we went to bed but couldn't sleep. I was afraid that the waste would back up into the dishwasher and washing machine, both of which were going, so decided to get up and wait for them to finish their cycles. Well......have you ever been waiting for something? It takes hours!! Eventually about 2.30am we retired to the bedroom but didn't sleep for ages. Anyway I phoned the drain man Dave at 8am and he came soon after. He did his best but he wasn't able to get to where the blockage was so he and Graham had to dig away some concrete. Hurrah!! with a mighty swoosh the blockage was gone and now we can use the bathroom again. However...We are now waiting for a builder to come. It looks as though we will have to have a complete new drainage system!
Graham is naturally suicidal. Why does he insist on believing that bad things only happen to us?
Anyway he is going bowling now so that might cheer him up a bit.

If I had the room and time, I could regale with you stories of shit that happens here. Tell Graham to chill out. Life is much better seeing it as a glass half full.
I did see the toilet bowl half full. Graham
