Blocked drain
The toilet has been going down slowly for a couple of weeks. Attempts to use a plunger brought only temporary relief. This morning I accepted it wasn’t going to get better, got in a plumber with cameras. They cleared the (vile and substantial) mess, but found the main fault in a broken junction. Tomorrow it will be dug out and replaced. The lot will come to almost $8000. Ouch. Need I say more?

This isn’t the interesting, focussed blog you might have been looking for… "Pica Pica" is, as I'm sure you knew, the name for the common magpie. It's no more than a collection of bits and pieces I wanted to make available for friends and family. I have other blogs for dharma related material (at DangZang), and a small one for translation at my work site. Oh yes, it's by Alex Wilding

Join the happy spenders club. I just spent this much–and more–to have all the intake pipes in our house replaced, and a new septic drain field installed.
Isn’t home ownership wonderful?
You have my deepest sympathies. (Pun sort of intended.)
