Ah, good ol' 2024.

Had a plumber here today, blocked drains again. My normal go-to has put the tools down as of last week and moved into retail so new guy who was pleasant enough, thorough and does cashies.
However lets see what 2024 has brought us so far... Aircon failure, so replacement of some plastic fittings, new pads and a cleanup. Then we had bees in the wall, so get a guy in to spray and dust. Keeping the bees company, next up a family of possums moved in. We counted 5 leaving after installing a 1-way door. No more pests, time to relax. Except the big screen decided its time was up. She has been re-capped once before so replacement has been ordered..delivery date the Monday AFTER Rd1 of V8s is on, grrr. Bring in the one from outside, time to chill, its hot out there. Aircon blows hot air again...wtf. Pump not going. WD40 getting me out of trouble, not sure for how long but wife somehow still smiling. Drains glugging last night, enjoyed a 75 second shower this morning. Plumber saves the day. Oh and my sons 18th birthday present rocked up today. I ordered it 1st of Feb, he turned 18 on the 16th, today is the 20th, so annoyed he had to wait. 19 days from Melb to Adel.
And the dogwash dude kinked my unkinkable hose, how?!?!
2024 has not been kind, what are we, 7 weeks in?
