Oh dear oh dear. Our toilet has had a small leak for a few weeks now and we finally managed to get a plumber in this morning. He took quite some time but had appeared to have fixed the leak… so we thought.
Later in the day I popped out to do a card count and tidy of Christmas cards at Squires and before I left I thought I heard a washing machine on spin next door which was strange. On returning from Squires and picking Colin up from a golf meeting, we returned to hear the most awful noise coming from the bathroom. It turned out that there is not a washing machine next door but our toilet cistern is now making a noise like a train and we had to turn off the water and drain the cistern to make it stop. Basically our toilet is still offline so lucky we have another in the upstairs little bathroom.
The evening got a little better as we went out for dinner with friends at Piazza Firenze and a few glasses of wine later and the plumbing did not seem so bad!
