owing to my outstanding skills with DIY (you really don't want to know how much an emergency plumber costs on a Sunday afternoon), the best person to come and fix our bathroom light this weekend was very much Grandad!!
it was great to have him call in, and James was certainly very happy to see him!
we divided the tasks between us, with each doing whatever they were best at. this meant that Grandad got up the ladder and did everything, James spent his time trying to climb up the ladder and, when he clocked that he would not be doing that, got busy flushing the toilet, and i just tried to keep out of the way!
no pics of the light being fixed (i am sure you can use your imagination), but here are James and Grandad after fixing it and after a very nice lunch (thank you Mama!!) and getting ready to finish up.
i was quite glad of going to the hardware store with my Dad - it was probably the first time have been in one and not felt totally lost, having the expert there to look for things and ask for exactly what he wanted!!
our bathroom light is now working better than ever before, which is a good thing indeed! it is bad enough that Eskom, South Africa's power supply chaps and on the shortlist for some business acumen award, keep cutting everyone's electricity as they cannot do their job properly without us having an existing problem with the light staying on when we do have power! James loves his bathtime, but does not like the dark at all - thanks to Grandad he is now fine to enjoy the bath with no fear of the light going for no reason!!
be excellent to each other!!!!!
