Ordered a new shower from Plumbworld this evening, exactly the same one again as its a really smart shower. Very stressed with far too many things going on at the same time.

SHETLAND BIRD NEWS & MEGAS!
Topped the bird feeders up and cleaned the bird ponds out. Huge number of birds in my garden today including the female Woodpecker again, several Collared Doves, masses of Starlings, at least 20+ House Sparrows, several Blackbirds and one Robin. 2 Hooded Crows in the trees opposite. Pruned the shrubs outside, had a tidy up and moved most of my potted plants around. Very windy and chilly today and no sun out, but I was more than warm enough with all the jobs I was doing. Gwen passed my garden and we had a nice little chat before she carried on to her house two doors away.
Jill and Rob came round at tea time and I bought them a chinese from the take away in Scalloway, to thank Jill for all her masses of hard work helping me move. Lovely evening of reminiscing birders of old days, birds we've seen, not seen and life in general! So nice lovely to have a multi-fuel fire, eats the wood up like crazy though.

Saturday 2nd March
"Alex" came out this morning and will give me a quote for the floor in a few days time – after removing the mouldy chipboard flooring, he suggested washing the black mouldy concrete with a bleach solution and then putting my dehumidifer in the room for a good while, then a sealant such as Blackjack, then lay down Kingspan, then new anti mould flooring – this will also involve removing the newly painted skirting board. Its going to take far longer to finish my office than I thought it was going to take.
Just before Alex turned up, my shower decided to stop working in the middle of washing my hair. I had to rinse the conditioner out in stone cold water in the kitchen sink. My kitchen tap is a mixer tap and the hot water trickles out, so no good for washing or rinsing thick hair, hence why I used cold water. I found out the shower has been in place for approximately 16 years, so I suppose its had a good run, its a Mira Azora shower. Why did it wait until I moved in?! Managed to get an electrician out (who has done work on this house before) who thought it might be a "Mira 1.872.28.3.0 Microswitch Assembly
3 Pins 872.28", but firstly after much searching on line its discontinued anyway and also he wasn't sure if it was that or not and suggested to contact the electrician who gave me a quote for my new heaters etc, as he "does showers", so I sent him a text and another 'did he get my text?' text and heard nothing back. Feeling very, very deflated right now. 😩 😒 😢
