Woke around 0900. Aki got up and brought me a mug of hot lemon water. Got up and porridged before starting work at the computer. Broke to have a go at cleaning the tap barrel to the shower, which has been seizing up...turned the water off, and tried to take the tap to bits, but didn't have a spanner big enough to remove the barrel. Couldn't get the escutcheon off either. Cleaned up what we could, and tried to put the thing back together, but not convinced it's going to make any difference. Think we need to get a plumber to fit a new one. Switched the water back on and Aki cooked up some lunch. Got back in the saddle, then switched the footie on to watch a bit of the final Group A games...not very exciting, though surprised to find Qatar not being overrun by the Dutch....only 1-0 to the Netherlands at half-time! Made a lasagne using the leftover haggis and lentil ragu, with some aubergine added. We were interrupted by the arrival of Six and Ottie for her rehearsal...bounded through the Xmas party songs, and ushered them out into the night, so we could eat and settle down for the England v Wales game. Wales were disappointing...didn't put up much of a fight up front, and England ran them ragged in the second half, coming out 3-0 winners. Senegal next up in the last sixteen. Kath rang to say she'd managed to purchase a couple of tickets for Sheku's gig at The Cluny...but hadn't realised it would be standing (she's got sciatica, and Stuart's got a bad knee!). Watched an episode of "Better Things" before braving the shower, and bed...
