So the guy came just before 3 pm. It seemed all sorted when he changed the tap. I bid him farewell and a short time I returned to clean the area. I detected there was still a trickle of water coming down the pipe. I thought, “It is my irrational thoughts.” I put another container under it and went away for half an hour. There wasn't much but there was water in that container. “I cannot be doing with this!” Once I overcome my disbelief I am back on the phone.

I go through the same procedure as before albeit that Sally becomes Riley. I am given a new window ‘5 pm to 10 pm’ “I can’t be doing this either” but somehow I get on with it.

Now I sit and wait for the buzzer to go. The phone has already gone for the plumber to tell me he will be here by 8 pm.
