I came down this morning to find that my demijohn of Slider had exploded. what a mess … postponed my morning walk by 30 minutes, but the kitchen still reeks of Slider. Slider is a concoction from Devon where spent Sloes are topped up with cider in a suitable container.
Spilt slider does clean up flag stones remarkably well. My last batch went thru’ the system like a Ferrari, so I won’t miss this batch.
Prince Pumpkin fell into the toilet this morning and then decided to run around the house all wet until he was apprehended and given a wash, which delayed me by about 30 minutes as well 
Refurbished a room with a Junkers wood floor and having removed the rad’s, I didn’t cap the end feeds, just turned these ‘tight’, missing that this left them in a ‘frost protection’ position.
Overnight temperature drop caused weeping and the wood floor started yawing from water absorption, the plastic under-membrane causing a pool of moisture to form under ~40% of the flooring, which sucked it up like blotting paper.
Stupid, truly stupid.
When my sourdough starter grew more than expected in the fridge.
I cleaned the aftermath before thinking to take a picture, this is what was left.
Many years ago moved into a house with an L-shaped bathroom. Bought a lovely piece of deep pile carpet that matched the decor perfectly.
Turned the carpet over, measured twice to get it right, then cut to size.
When I turned it over right side up, the L-shape was on the opposite side.
Had to throw it away and start again. Idiot !
Pumpkin is the name of your youngest son, your majesty?
Prince Pumpkin is my cat 
I refer to all of them as Prince/Princess because they all expect to be treated like royalty (I have assumed the position of being their personal butler who tends to all of their needs)
Domestic disasters - yep…
About 3 months ago. A 5 quid rubber connector in the drain pipe from the washing machine upstairs gave up. That drain pipe runs between the floor and ceiling. A large amount of water accumulated on the ceiling before it finally cracked with a local shower in the kitchen…
The pics don’t show half of the mess. Nor from the mess that followed during repair, plastering etc.
