Blue.

A busy day started with a quick visit to the suppliers to collect some stuff, then down the barriers to Burray to change a kitchen tap and the internals of two toilet cisterns. The job would have been a lot easier if the customer had known where the mains stopcock was. I eventually found it completely boxed in and hidden behind some insulation. Talking of boxing things in, it's a really dumb thing to do with something that may need maintenance. I had to cut through a load of boxing to get to one of the cisterns. If everything had been accessible, the job would have taken an hour. As it was, it took three hours.
I hoped the next job, changing a macerator, would be a little more straightforward. It wasn't and it took far too long. Again a case of boxing in something which needs maintenance made it tricky to begin with. The difficulty was increased by the original install having leaked for years.
When I eventually got home, Sigyn was delighted to see me and insisted I sit on the couch to wait for my beautiful wife to come home.
