Had shakshouka for supper, with garlic yoghurt and bread & butter on the side.

Now chilling in bed, listening to Arsanal v Shaktar Donetsk

Of course you can. The necessary bits will cost more than a replacement bath, not really work, flood somewhere else in the house but keep you occupied for days.

Experiment tried this afternoon - towel stuffed into hole just in case, then strips of waterproof gaffer tape laid across the hole and cross layered. Quick shower and hair wash and tape patch still water tight.
They're replacing the bath next Friday and I'm away for a total of four days inbetween (hotel showers), so will only need to do this a couple more times so long as I don't do anything to get too hot & sweaty on the bike.

I really should check what I'm buying. Had a slice of toast with my evening hot chocolate and something didn't taste right - I've just checked and the just opened butter is UNsalted - yuck!

Good morning from a bright & sunny Suffolk. Coffee has been had with a couple of dunked biscuits.
Will need to pop into Ipswich later on to sort out fitting date & deposit payment for the new bath and after that the day is all mine to enjoy. I'm wondering if I can make some sort of patch out of plastic sheeting (milk/squash bottle?) & waterproof tape to go over the hole in the bath.

Builders plastic sheet, with the drain cut to match the drain on the bath. The top edge taped in place at strategic points.

The cat is trialling the Whiskas equivalent of Doubly Delicious, looking positive so far 🐱

I'm keeping my legs crossed.

It'll make walking awkward!

The trick is usually getting them to eat the *second* pouch of something new

Day two of the working week completed. Looks like we will be sort of moved sideways at work and trained in something a bit different. It was always on the cards but it looks like it will be happening before Christmas now.

I made a big pot of vegetable soup after work, enough for a few days. Winter has arrived (it never really went away this year!).

Nice little 20 miler under the moonlight. I need to get back into the habit of evening rides again but it's hard to find the time.

First cuppa is going down well.
The sky has an orangey glow and a very small amount of mist to it
