No better way to start a long weekend than standing in the plumbing aisle of a hardware store at 9pm on Friday night. How is your weekend so far?

So, you’ve got a leak?

Indeed. A joint let go inside a wall. I have it stoppered for now but will need to rip out a bunch of drywall so it can dry.

Ahh yes…. the joys of home ownership!

Sump pump?

Fortunately no. A joint gave out inside a wall. Slow leak but probably been happening for weeks.

Well, my washer just broke, and my brother just called to say my dad had a heart attack. I'd love to go see him, but he's in Surrey General and I'm in Scotland. So I hope he doesn't kick the bucket before I can get tickets out home

Ouch. That's a kick in the pants. Hope you're all ok.

It's been a tough couple weeks. Just frustrating because he wasn't supposed to be discharged home, he was meant to go to a physio rehab clinic, but they released him to home anyway. That was a week ago and now he's back in even worse condition.

We did a trip to the supermarket for our Friday night excitement....
