More rain all day, if lighter in the afternoon, and a parade of problems to keep my mind off other things. Last night we found a small water leak in the airing cupboard - it appears to be coming from a valve in a pipe coming down from the loft. Messing about with it might involve a potential disaster considering all the water above that level, so our friendly local plumber has been summoned. Should be here tomorrow (Monday). Sue thinks he said something about a possible issue with that valve last time he was here before lockdown, but I don't remember - I was probably keeping a good safe distance away.
Then Sue had what she thought was another battery failure with her car at the local petrol station / M&S shop and I had to go out to attempt a rescue. I'll just say that a very helpful neighbour happened to turn up and offered help, and the problem wasn't quite what we thought it was...
Got back home to an electrical problem - pump and fountain failure in the small fishpond, not to mention the Biodisc that we have instead of mains sewerage. Fixed that, but then it went wrong again - everything now works except the pond pump. Either the pump has died, which is not likely, or a fault has developed in the four-way switch box which feeds the pump, the fountain, and the filter. I've sent emails to our electrician and will 'phone in the morning if needed.
Nothing about Myeloma at all - but that's the way of life in remission. You just get on with other stuff (if rather more slowly than in pre-cancer days), try not to think about it too much, and gradually turn into a nervous wreck waiting for the next set of blood test results...
