The unwholesome smell that had been emanating from the environs of the
central heating boiler was confirmed by the repairman on Saturday as seepage
from the oil pump, which he advised meant fitting a new pump next week and in
the meantime shoving a drip tray under the offending part to catch the few drops
escaping; unfortunately the pump responded to his poking by developing from
seepage to leakage, with the drip tray needing to be emptied three times a day,
each time requiring a trip down to the bottom of the garden with a suspicious
looking jam jar of golden liquid to pour back into the tank – goodness knows
what the neighbours thought I was up to - but needed no more as the repair was
effected today.
