Nothing ventured

 I have a number of small but important plumbing tasks building up -- two of which include leaks that really ought to be dealt with sooner rather than later, and one of which might as well get done when I've allowed somebody in the house.

So, with some trepidation, I have inquired of a plumbing company that I've used before (a) are they still working and (b)  is this work they can take on.  To make things smoother I have provided them with chapter and verse on the parts that will be required (I am a hoarder of part numbers and instructions).

We'll see...  I may have to teeter-totter on a chair myself to fix to bathroom light-pull however.  Theoretically, it's simple, but working above my head is hard for me.

In other news, the John Radcliffe in Oxford really really want me to come to them for a scan. As an incentive they've pointed out that parking will be no problem (their letters usually say allow 2 hours to find a place!)
