Well as promised I can start this post with the new kitchen tap photo.
This was Saturday but it didn't all go totally to plan and I got desperately yelled for to help when Hubby was stuck inside the cupboard holding onto the fountain that shouldn't have happened as the water was turned off. So I stayed close by after that and was plumbers mate a couple more times.
This tap now has a single lever that we can use with the back of the hand on those horrid greasy or floury dough fingered moments and the top bit pulls out on a hose to reach further than the other one did.
Sunday Daughter popped round with R, O and the dog for a cuppa or two and careful not to sit too close we did sit in the lounge! It was so lovely not shivering outside and when Hubby had finished with the F1 racing in Monaco, O played on the wii for nostalgia sake........ life is getting back to normal.
Our precious granddaughters, R and E turned 19 on Monday! Not able to see either of them in person on the day I video called and they both answered, I was thrilled. Later in the day we did see R when she popped over with O, Daughter and the dog, so Daughter could swap cars as her's needs our neighbour mechanic again.
A bit more plumbing each day as Hubby is not happy with the hot water flow as it's much slower in the new tap than anywhere else in the house. So empty cupboards and water catching again on Tuesday.

Wednesday I've had another check up CT Scan, results follow in a week or two. Had to be done without the contrast dye after the usual cannula chaos.
Wednesday night's moon was called a super flower blood moon and it was beautiful. My phone camera definitely didn't do it justice, or that may have been down to the photographer!
Thursday more plumbing! More wet towels. Actually not too wet. He reported afterwards that it was very awkward and he did manage to cut away the joint that he thought was causing the problem and replace it without any leaks! Although the hot water flow isn't brilliant it is better than it was. A moderately satisfied Hubby.
Friday morning Hubby exchanged this
For this
Doesn't mean much to me but he's a happy chappy!
Daughter's car was expensively returned so Friday afternoon she came to swap back, bringing with her R, O, the dog and a very long length of linen for making two more Tudor shifts so she could use my large dining room table for cutting out.
Meanwhile I made rock buns with apple and rhubarb mmmmm
Rain has eased right off lately and the plumbing is fixed 🤞 so the forecast is dry!
Enjoy your Bank Holiday weekend but stay safe.

Very smart tap. Looks better than I thought it would. My Monday family have a tap with extendable head for rinsing but the hose doesn't retract into the housing like yours, but is looped around in another wire type cage so is a faff to keep clean.
They're 19! This time next year you'll have grandchildren in their 20's! I said that to mum when C turned 20, that it made me feel old having a 20yo daughter, and she said try having daughters in their 40's...
Yummy looking rock buns and that new pannier with bike attached looks like it means business :-).
Tap looks better than I thought it would too.
There may be a little more about the new pannier next week....
