The bathroom now has a bath! It is a revelation.
And you know what, it went in amazingly easily, thanks to having measured it a dozen times to get it to fit.
What I didn’t get right was the tile for the spout. Now, drilling holes in tiles is notoriously difficult, especially when you decided to do it by hand.

| Manual circular tile cutter: just turn the handle |
However the only circular tile cutter I have is a good old fashioned manual ‘turn the handle’ one, and it slowly – oh so slowly – grinds away at the tile until it eventually wears away the tile, over the aeons of time.
It’s rather like one of those torture devices they had in Victorian prisons, where the sole aim was to wear down the prisoner. But it’s not the despair I can’t stand – its the hope. The hope I might finally finish this blasted bathroom.
Alas it’s not that accurate, so when after – count ‘em – two hours of going round and round in circles, the hole proves to be too large for the spot. Horror of horrors: it might actually show.
So, back to the drawing board. Or rather, the tile cutter.
