It's Saturday today and the sun's out and life looks lovely out there. Just hope the phone doesn't ring.

It is quiet but plumbers are much quieter in the summer. There is, though, plenty of work around. Someone I work with has been doing 6/7 days for every week this year and still has a good 2 months of work line up.

Had to turn work away, they couldn't wait and I couldn't fit it in. I have a few spare half days between now and end of September, but the phones ringing now for oil services before we get to the back end, one of the guys in the area retired at the start of the year. I was in doing a shower pump change, toilet repair and change a set of basin taps this morning and have to go back after me hols for a service.

Full diary until end of Aug then the b servicing and breakdowns and replacements will start.
We could fit more in though.
And the phone is busy - Mr TP has been doing loads although some are for jobs he doesn't want to do.... only yesterday he was telling me he went to a house and couldn't believed people live like this...

Then there was the boiler replacement at another addess :"I could do it myself but i'm not registered. I do all my own plumbing. i just want a replacement boiler. Niot TRVs. No I don't want my gas pipework upgraded. Doesn't matter its too small I don't ever use my gas fire....".
You know, i made the appointment with at man on the phone and I could tell he was going to be weird!
