Thursday, September 3

The builder arrived

with a bag full of rods which he screwed together and pushed up and screwed another one and pushed up and pushed up the drainpipe to the roof until suddenly he fell backwards and we were showered with the twiggy nests and feathers of all the birds in the neighbourhood.

    In this case, would it be correct to say "up the spout?"*

    *Term heard in The Great Escape.

    Ah, well, better a builder's thingy up the drain pipe than a Dynorod down the loo....

    we don't have drainpipes around here, "newer house" compared to the historic district, but i'm not complaining. it's just one less thing to worry about here on the plantation! (i'm catching up reading and writing. going out to the west coast sort of set me back.) xoxoxox

    Oh! I feel the need to have a go at this. I would love to have some sort of control over all my pipework.
