I have just enjoyed my first major triumph of 2024.
I got home from training last night and the Missus told me the shower door needed fixing and the shower head had come unmoored. And, even though she is a DIY Queen, she could not fix it.
Some 20 minutes later, I emerged like a victorious Spartan warrior with screwdriver in hand. I told her I've fixed both things. She looked at me quizzically. I say 'quizzically'. I mean like I'm a liar whose track record at previous DIY tasks would make anyone doubt this claim.
'Really?' she asked? She went off to check and returned impressed. 'You have actually fixed it. But how?'
I borrow a line from one of our favourite sitcoms, Peep Show, to celebrate my moment.
'Plumbing's easy, isn't it?' I replied. 'It's basically Lego with water.'
