When troubles come they come not single store but in battalions ...

and yes, I know it is a misquote...

How all occasions do inform against me ...

I had a mild cold which gave me a humongous cold sore... and then a sore throat... and then an earache which developed into an ear infection. When I stand up the world goes round far too quickly and I fall over. The doc gave me antibioticals.

Monday I did some essential food shopping on the way home from the docs. Dropped a can of soup on paw. Have an injured paw. You really don't want to know the details - but it hurts. Paw pain inhibits walking ...

Whilst washing up last night I noticed that the water was going down and making nasty slurpy noises which is indicative of the water pipes being bunged up and the septic tank being full. I am now awaiting the arrival of Septic Lenny and his unbunging machines.

Had to go and get money to pay Septic Lenny. Got some nice trout for supper. Arrived home, took trout out of boot, dropped them, moved to enable picking up of said trout and I stood on them.

I am now going to sit very still, with painful paw on a stool, until Septic Lenny arrives, will pay him and then go to bed.

Sympathetic and soothing noises would be most appreciated. If you feel the need to either fall about laughing at my series of misfortunes or share your most recent bit of misfortune please do.

Sympathetic and soothing noise. Lip salve for the chapped lips and a scarf/hat/paper bag for the hair. There there there... it can only get better...

Septic Lenny and his unbunging machine has been and gone. Septic tank is now empty... I can now do 'stuff'!

Vito thems is words of wisdom!

My day has improved! Especially since seeing the septic themed cupcake! LOL! Thank'ee all for the laughs.

I'm all for forming a tribute band called Septic Lenny and his Unbunging Machine - suggestions for what we would play?

I'll play the blues harp. Badly.

bettielee seems like a sensible way to use a toilet cupcake!

Um... no. How many times have you had your toilet fixed to have that type of esoteric knowledge?

SP how do you know they have webbed hands? From what IRU wrote they, the hands are in the gills - hidden away in the deep, dark gloomy depths of Septic Lenny's bits and pieces ...
