Well it wasn't much of a birthday celebration. The day started with a blocked toilet - now that is a regular occurrence here thanks to US soil-pipe design - I just put the auger down to unblock it 15 minutes later I had a blocked toilet and a stuck auger. Great! A couple of hours later we had a smelly bathroom, an unblocked toilet and a still stuck auger and so it stayed.
Later, we noticed that the kitchen sink was draining slowly and to cut a long story short we have now used all our towels mopping up water (or possibly diluted drain-unblocker solution) from the kitchen floor and we still have a blocked drain.
In the evening, John and Tammy came over for some dinner and a discussion of the new church they have been planning. It was a welcome break from the plumbing and later John managed to pull the by-then-broken auger out of the toilet. So at least only one room is out of action - shame it's the kitchen.
