I don’t do many manly things. I don’t really like steak, I don’t watch rugby and I don’t own a shed. The reason I don’t own a shed is because our garden isn’t big enough and because I am afraid of spiders. Spiders live in sheds, so if I were to own I shed, not only would I have no remaining garden space, but it is likely I would encounter some eight-legged creatures. My spider phobia is also earning me nil points in the manly department.
Today though, I did something which did make me feel like a man. No, not stand next to a group of burley men in a urinal. I did something far more macho. I unblocked the bathroom sink. Our sink has been blocked for weeks. It takes ages to drain. I don’t know what could be stuck in the U-bend. The only stuff to down the plug hole has been water, soap, tooth paste, mouth wash and contact lens solution – hardly cement.
Whatever had managed to block our sink, it was doing a very good job. Not good enough for a bottle of Mr. Muscle sink unblocker though! After pouring the entire contents down the sink and returning 15 minutes later, I am pleased to announce that the water flows away beautifully. It may seem an easy task to get onto Tesco Online, order the bottle of cleaning fluid, before using it upon delivery; but it is a job only a man can do.

- What Have They Done To My Flat?
My former flat, where I lived between 2007 and 2013, looks to be for sale!
I thought that I would let you all know, in case I have a stalker, who wishes to live in my former home and has a spare £180k lying around.
If any of my fans want to see where their favourite blogger...
- Thank You, Rubbish Dudes!
I am pleased to announce that we have both an update and a conclusion to the missing/stolen food recycling box.
A clean, brand spanking new box has been left outside our house.
Claire managed to get it into our back garden before the bin burglar could steal another from us!
So, I believe that is "thank you" to...
- Have You Tried Turning It Off And Back On Again?
In case anyone has been worried about my broken stairlift and the prospect of me being stranded upstairs forever, fear not, for it has been fixed!
We turned it off an on again.
See... the most effective approach to fixing anything technical, whether it be a computer, stairlift or television.
I'm sure the fix is not even below...
- Be Careful What You Wish For
We had a power cut this afternoon. Apparently many properties near to ours were also affected.
Thankfully the "blackout" lasted for just a few seconds. That brief period was long enough to knock out all my tech, which, once power had returned, spent ages whirring and beeping as it all came back to life.
The power cut...
- Well That Was Long Overdue…
I had my haircut yesterday, for the first time since February.
Let's just say my mop was getting very long and I was getting very annoyed with it.
You also know it's bad when your wife calls you Shaggy. I assume she didn't mean the cool dude behind classic tunes like It Wasn't Me and In the Summertime. She...
