On of those Saturday’s where nothing appears to go to plan, but it all turns out ok in the end. I guess the start of the day was a sign of things to come. The cadence of my morning ritual was disturbed with the cistern handle falling off. Not a disaster, I could still flush by opening up the cistern and pulling the flush directly, but unexpected!<\/p>\n
Routine was momentarily resumed as I hung out my washing to dry, and then ate my breakfast of bacon and egg sandwiches. Fortunately, the regular afternoon of football was planned to be cancelled due to a little event known as the F.A. Cup. Seeing as watching football is nowhere near as interesting as playing, I traipsed down to B&Q to purchase a new handle, picking up Ally along the way to share the experience.<\/p>\n
On getting home, I attempted to fit the handle only to find it didn’t fit the cistern! Slightly disconcerting as they all seemed to be a standard size in the store. However, on return to the store with the ill-fitting handle, they happily refunded me my money and I purchased another after carefully checking it was more adaptable. The application of a hammer ensured that I was once again able to flush without taking the lid off the toilet cistern.<\/p>\n
