Hot water

The plumber dude showed up bright and early, covered with tattoos and competence, and replaced my water heater with alacrity. The old one was white, and other than being a water heater in a kitchen, sorta blended in ok. The new one is battleship gray with two copper loops coming out the top. They look like mouse ears or something. The new contraption, despite its tingent disharmony, is capable of heating and containing water at the same time. I'm for it.

Next problem: draining half a dozen sodden towel without any outdoor space.


Today's earrings: mermaids, teapots

  1. If battleship gray's got you down, nothing screams festive quite like shelf paper. How about a cheery holstein print? Or maybe wood grain with a flashing blue light on top? You'd have your own tardis!

  2. It's the flashing blue light that makes it art.
