I'm feeling a tad domestic because I am currently in the process of sorting out how to fix my (or rather the Taines) flooded laundry with a plumber. It appears the water softner is leaking and since I have no idea what to do, I figured I'd call an expert. How delightful! And a brilliant distraction from dissertation work :o)

To be honest, I had never heard of a water softner until today anyway and the only reason I know what it is is that I googled the brand and number thing. Oh and rather entertainingly, the plumbers wife (who I talked to on the phone) was a little confused when she thought I said that I lived on Gay-on-gay road as opposed to Gamlingay Road. Yip! And it's sunny and warm here. It's the little things that keep one smiling. Domestic bliss!
