He says that should now have fixed the original leak – the one into the overflow pipe outside the kitchen. I went outside to check, and it does seem to have stopped dripping, so that’s a big relief. I’ve told him that I really hope not to see him again for another year, for a regular boiler service.
Now of course I need to get the hall ceiling repainted to cover up the dodgy stain from the leak that was finally fixed last week. I suppose I could do it myself, but I really don’t want to. Christopher always used to complain over many years that the very word “paintbrush” gave him backache. I was less than sympathetic at the time, but now I think I know how he felt! I shall give my regular decorator, Rob, a call and see if he can fit me in.
