Peter was given a clean bill of heath at the hospital so his next check up will be in 3 years. Neither of us were especially worried beforehand but there is always a tiny bit of doubt. They have a monitor so that the patient gets to see the same as the doctor and Peter was surprised to see that he has a small internal tattoo which was put there when they removed a polyp last time. That's a really up close and personal tattoo!
It's still overcast and not too cold. After my visit to the loft yesterday I realised that I could probably fix the dripping overflow pipe which formed the icicle fall last year. I went back up this morning to try and bend the arm of the ball-cock downwards to lower the water level in the tank. Not quite as easy as I hoped. Apart from having to crawl around in the loft the end where the tank is does not have a screwed down solid floor. I was being very careful balancing on the oddments of chipboard resting on the rafters when the piece I was kneeling on snapped. Luckily I was able to move quickly so that I did not end up crashing through the bathroom ceiling. I found a solid plank to kneel on instead. It was quite hard to bend the metal rod downwards without damaging the inflow valve. I managed to bend it a bit and lowered the water level by about 1 cm. I didn't dare do any more.
