It's 8.20am and I'm recovering.  Yesterday the hose under the kitchen sink burst..... a new mixer tap was needed so I got up at 6am to do the installation before breakfast.  It's a bugga of a job to work in the dark at the back of the cupboard.  Fixing the kitchen plumbing should ideally be something the landlord does but we would be without water for a long time if we were to ask...... so I did it myself.

The box containing the mixer tap appeared to be sealed and untouched..... but a fairly important part was missing. It looks as though the box has been opened in the past.  Fortunately it was something I could make so it wasn't too bad.
