The oximeter arrived. That lets me measure the level of oxygen in my blood, and also displays my pulse rate. One of the big warning signs of a severe infection, is if your oxygen level is low; that's telling you to go to hospital.
It's slightly alarming at first because it takes a few seconds to show the result. It showed 86% for a few seconds, but then it got up to 99% and 58 beats per minute. Every time I get anything tested in hospital, they put one of these on my finger, and they're really cheap on eBay (£11), so I bought one. If either I or Ladysolly start to have trouble breathing, this will be a useful monitor. 95% or better is normal, 92% is not good, 88% is dangerous, 85% is a hospital trip.
The kitchen sink of daughter.2 fell apart. I was asked if I could fix it remotely, but although my powers of grandfatherly magic are considerable, they don't extend to remote kitchen sink repair. Fortunately, Pimlico Plumbers came to the rescue.
Could have suggested rebooting sink by switching it off, then back on?
