Last week, we realized there's a small leak in the pool's side wall. Wednesday, the master toilet clogged up so tight that it took WLToo two days to clear it. We definitely need new toilets. Then yesterday, we noticed the ice and water dispenser on the rather old refrigerator was leaking, so we went to town and bought a new fridge, to be delivered on Boxing Day (26 Dec).
After all that, new lyrics just popped into my head, so I'm sharing with y'all:
With apologies to Rogers & Hammerstein, I present the last few days at the Smith household.
There's a sad sort of leaking from the fridge on the wall
And the can in the master loo
And out in the north yard an absurd little leak
Is taking water from the pool
Cuckoo, cuckoo
Regretfully they tell us
But firmly they compel us
To say, "Goodbye" to you (points to bank balance)
So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, good night
We're in the zone Appliances Twilight
(instrumental) dee deedle deep deep dee dee dee, dee deedle deep deep dee
So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, adieu
Adieu, adieu, to you and you and you (points to refrigerator, toilets, and swimming pool leak area)
(instrumental) dee deedle deep deep dee dee dee, dee deedle deep deep dee
So long, farewell, au revoir, auf wiedersehen
The fridge will go right after Christmas day
(instrumental) dee deedle deep deep dee dee dee, dee deedle deep deep dee
So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye
New toilets soon, and so we'll sit up high
(instrumental) dee deedle deep deep dee dee dee, dee deedle deep deep dee
I'm glad they'll go, I cannot tell a lie
More power to flush, no clogs when we let fly
(instrumental) dee deedle deep deep dee dee dee, dee deedle deep deep dee
The pool we'll fix when New Year has arrived
So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye
