Oh joy! The cause of the leak in the kitchen has been fixed! For weeks we've been puzzled by the seepage of water onto the kitchen floor. In the last week or so it's become a flood, causing the dogs to have to wait for Breakfast while I mopped up a bucketful of water from the floor. This could not go on. Dog Breakfast is supposed to happen on their return from the garden and not be delayed by half an hour of mopping.
It was with some relief that we narrowed down the possibilites to plumbing - the thought of Rob going up on the roof in December was not attractive, nor was digging up the yard at the back of the house. Finally, after hauling out all the appliances and opening the inspection hatches thoughtfully left by the creator of the kitchen, a leak was detected in a hot water pipe right over the other side of the kitchen! The water had been seeping down the pipe, round behind the plasterboard and eventually emerging under the window where it collected in a puddle. That was why we were looking under the window for the leak rather than the other side of the room. Dry floor this morning. Dog Breakfast in short order. Equilibrium restored.
Another small miracle. My kitchen no longer smells strongly of dog - thanks to a small, unlikely-looking gizmo that consists of a round piece of stainless steel, a sponge and not much else! How can this be?

Clearly, it is a miracle. It was given to you by someone with special powers. Use it thoughtfully or your dogs will grow wings in the night. Enjoy!
