    The water softener leaked onto the socket, apparently. Plumber’s coming out on Thursday but it was easily isolated

    Our water here is very, very, very hard so a water softener is necessary if we don’t want to replace our washing machine every year

    I remember when living near London that a bubble bath turned to scum within 5 minutes! It ruins WM's!

    I’m fine. Tired, as I was up at 6 this morning (after getting stuck into a book and not getting to bed till 1) fighting to pull my mask off. Although that’s better than the last week or so. I’ve been either taking the mask off or switching the machine off in my sleep.

    Oh what rubbish we keep! We’re replacing all the study furniture so going through everything to bin as much as possible. Si’s just found blockbusters vouchers from January 2010!

    We’ve had a request from the medical team looking after my cousin who’s had bowel and liver cancer. Because they’ve found out that he has a gene mutation called Lynch Syndrome, which greatly increases the risk of cancers such as bowel, womb, ovarian, pancreas etc, (and significantly under the age of 50) we’ve been asked if we would be willing to have genetic testing to find out if we have the mutation. By we, I mean the whole (very large) family. At the moment it’s just information gathering and not compulsory but, if and when they test those of us who do agree, and if the test is positive, it would mean regular and frequent surveillance inc colonoscopies, for everyone over age 25.

    I’ve agreed, as well as Katie, but Jess has said no. Which is fine, if Katie and I are negative, Jess would be too. And my brother, whose ex wife lost her brother just a few months after diagnosis at the age of 24, has said no for him and his boys. Again, if Katie, mum and I are negative, it would mean he doesn’t need to worry about it - as he doesn’t want to cause unnecessary stress and heartache for her.
