Yes, this is backdated, since I'll keep this to what happened the first two days of the week.
First: Monday:
( Audendo Atque Agendo )
Tuesday brought good news - at long last, once more we have hot water! :D The plumbers came a day earlier than planned. The first guy came just after lunch, had a load of funny gadgets to find where the problem was, dug a little hole and there it was - a burst pipe. The hole wasn't even a centimetre across, and yet it was enough to de-hotwaterify us. Anyway, he left, and just after sundown a couple more blokes came by to fix it. It was stubborn but eventually got sealed over after melting about a tank's worth of metal over it (ok, maybe not that much). So now, hot water - cost? A couple of shiny plastic notes from the landlord, and a sprinkler one of the guys tripped over.
Oh, and one of the plumbers gets added to the list of "people who are confused by my accent". :D
More or meme next post.
