I understand that there have been some complaints that this blog tends to over-emphasise lavatorial matters at the expense of, say, photos of young ladies wearing insufficient clothing. It is with some trepidation therefore that I feel it my duty to provide an update on the ongoing saga of the broken loo.
But I know some of you, like me, have been losing sleep over this matter; so I thought you would like to know that the errant bog has now been fixed. Yesterday I collected my 6,800 baht box of toilet-related bits from the shop. My very best mate at the shop, Khun Boonlert, was all set to come and help me install the parts, but I chose to tackle the job myself.
Took about an hour of wrestling and banging to remove all the old parts, and about the same amount of time to install the replacements. The job would have taken much less time if one cat had not attempted to swallow a brass washer and the other had not fallen into the toilet bowl. Twice. They always like to help and they always manage to hinder.
Turned on the water and it filled and it flushed. Four times, just to make sure. Looks rather splendid too, none of this plastic nonsense that you get nowadays; solid brass engineering, none of which I understand.
I think I will leave the lid off to impress visitors.
Feel better having shared that, thanks for listening. The good news is that I only have three toilets, but in excess of three hundred photographs of Japanese Pit Girls wearing insufficient clothing. What? Oh, alright, just the one:
