Evening Chores

Having just finished cleaning out our three hamsters' big cages this evening, I opened the cupboard under the sink to get out some things I needed to re-stock the cages with food, bedding etc, and I was assailed by a smell of damp :-(

The drain pipe from the sink has been quietly leaking over the last few days and destroyed lots of stuff which we had stored under the sink. Luckily more or less under the leak was a large metal bowl which was now full of water and had saved us from worse damage. The cupboard has been emptied, cleaned out and a bowl placed under the leak, and everyone given instructions *not* to use the taps until DH can fix it tomorrow in the daylight.

The hamsters are all now back in their nice clean cages and ready to play all night :-)
