The Unfairness of Life, Chapter 117

My shower stopped working last week. As did I. Apparently one of us infected the other, for the problem is exactly the same: high pressure leading to sudden cessation of normal function.

Solution for shower: a new Pressure Relief Device, costing £8.10, to be installed by the very wonderful [livejournal.com profile] nolley on Saturday.

Solution for me: little pink pills that plunge me into a slough (or possibly Slough) of despond within an hour of taking them. (Not helped, this morning, by a trackside fire at Nunhead which meant no Victoria trains. Solution simple: change at London Bridge for Battersea Park. Nevertheless, was Tearful and Pathetic. Has anyone else had nasty moodswings as a result of beta-blockers? Am on them for at least the next two weeks: will be no fun at all.)

I'm very sorry that you're under the weather...and I would be even more sympathetic if your shower metaphore hadn't caused me to splort diet Pepsi out of my nose. Thank you a million times for beta-ing my messy BTFH. You're an angel -- you should be able to fly around London on shining wings.
