True, the plumber will be well paid, but I'm still conscious (in every way
) that it's a Sunday so didn't want to disturb him any more than necessary.
No doubt he would have come out immediately for a burst pipe or similar, but that would have resulted in a huge bill.
There are firms that will turn out at any hour of the day or night but they are hideously expensive.
Our chap has two or three bods working for him and he's worth keeping on side, so to speak.
Yes, the bump on the bonce seems OK, but I didn't want to go to A&E if it could be avoided.
I was compos mentis enough to work out that I didn't have double vision so was probably not concussed.
I made sure that I didn't go to sleep after lunch as I'm not sure if dad would have noticed if I had become unconscious in the medical sense.
Anyway, as far as I can divine, I'm still reasonably coherent, jibber... jabber... wibble...
