The fitter arrived slightly later than on previous days, he had a small job to attend to first. When he arrived I pointed out the small chip that I had noticed in the tile. With a straight face he said ‘Well you will just have to look the other way!’, followed by ‘It will have [...]

The Smallest Room in the House – Day Six
The fitter had hoped to complete our project on day six, despite the setback at the beginning of the job. Everything was going well until he came to fix the radiator to the wall; one of the pipes was leaking. This meant he would have to drain the heating system in order to fix it. [...]
