…and back *again*

So, I’m back. It turned out that it was (is) leaking from the drainer, the plastic nut which seals the sink to the drainer seems to have developed a leak on one side, but the sink – unlike the last sink is actually supported by the pedestal underneath it; so I’m not 100% sure how to repair it.

At any rate, without taking the pedestal out (which I couldn’t do by myself anyway); I attacked the nut using the screwdriver on the peaks and hit it with a weighty object method. This… well, improved matters. At least, I thought so, until I found that it was now leaking from the opposite side of the nut *rolls eyes*

Still, now we know what it is, so she can call the plumber in who put the sink in to fix it – and he can deal with the pedestal / sink issue. I’ve put a jam-jar underneat the leak, so it should be okay for minimal use anyway. The leak isn’t *terrible*. Not the way my mum was describing it…

Rebecca rolled over 10,000 miles (or 110,000, actually, but the 1 at the beginning is invisible). I have a thing for the big mileage rollovers, and since I do so many miles I actually get to see quite a lot of them, which… well, it makes me happy. There’s something enjoyable about people’s faces when they ask how many miles it’s got on it and you’re able to give a *really big number* in return. I realise that 110,000 miles isn’t a lot for 35 years; but it’s growing quite quickly, and when we reach 200,000 then I’ll be mightily proud!
