Please forgive the #HumbleBrag, but I've just clogged a toilet for the very first time at the ripe-old age of 50-something.

I also successfully unclogged it while managing to avoid even a single drop of fetid mess outside the toilet.*

*In the spirit of full-disclosure, I did puke a little on the plunger & side of the waste basket, which then dripped on to the floor, but I already had every intention of throwing out the contaminated tools and have long dreamt of replacing that flooring.

You surely know those days when #housework is no fun at all. Washing dishes, cleaning the toilet, sorting hairbrushes... none of it is art. Really no art?!? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zK0-BCyl2A8

Day two with Mr. Roboto(*), the robot vacuum-and-mop. I'm not entirely sure whether the indicator which I thought meant "I am charging" actually means "I am in working condition", seeing as when it has a low battery, that light goes red.

No app access. That means that the only thing that it can do (when you press the power button) is "the default thing". But since "the default thing" happens to be "clean everything" then I think that's okay. But it also means that I can't set it to run on a timer when I'm asleep, so that is... inconvenient. Since one needs to ensure that stuff is off the floor and chairs are out of the way, the only thing I can safely do without getting in its way is to sit in the recliner and knit. But I've got stuff to knit, so that's fine.

It can mop! And suck up dirt! And empty itself! It will take a few rounds to get things really clean, considering I haven't had a working vac for quite a while. But that's okay. Things are already improving. Yay.

(*) Yes, I name my robot vacuums. The previous one was Pancake Dalek, because it kept on going around like a blind Dalek - "My vision is impaired!" (bump) "My vision is impaired!" (bump)
Mr. Roboto does not tend to bump into things.

Well, I was kicking myself for having missed out on a sale for a (non-Roomba) robot vacuum cleaner (and mop!!!) because I didn't want to be hasty. But I decided, before I rushed off and paid full price, to check again on the website to see if other vacuums were still on sale, and they were! And not only did I find a quite similar robot-vacuum-and-mop on sale, but its sale price was even lower than the sale price I'd missed out on. Win-win!

So my dead Roomba is going into the garage for future hard-rubbish collection. And in a week (or two) I will have clean floors again! Yay! (Cleaner floors, actually, since my dead Roomba was not able to mop.)
