Had got up at our usual time and we went about our chores. Were ready well in time and had initiated the washing machine exercise of tackling the bed linen - a weekly rigmarole. After having set the machine's timer, had gone down and returned about 50 minutes later to find that the machine had not progressed and the error, "tap" was showing on the LED screen. Had checked the water inlet and related connections, rejigged them but found nothing wrong.
When the maid had arrived, we checked the submerged foot valve of the motor, inside the well and observed that it did, indeed, have a problem. After some repair work, the motor could be worked and the overhead tank could be filled by pumping in water. The washing machinex was resumed and completed before lunch time; Lekha could also tell the IFB to cancel our morning's complaint about the 'erratic' functioning about our new machine.
Preetha was in a bad shape because of her cough and cold. She left at her usual time of a quarter to 3 and soon after, realised that water had finished and the motor was not pumping up the water into the tank accompanied by an unnatural, shrill sound. Had immediately called up Sabu, the motor man, to send his rep to sort out the issue and he'd dispatched Geeverghese soon after.
The foot valve was replaced with a new one and phew, the problem was licked by about 1700 hrs!
Meelu, my friend at New Delhi had called up to say that the correspondence regarding mom's life time arrears have been misplaced....it seems that I've to begin the proceedings all over again. What a blow.
Tailpiece.
Got the sad news that Saritha, the wife of Captain Sanjay Nirmal - a friend of ours - had succumbed to cancer about a month back. She was being treated for breast cancer for the last few years. Must speak to Nirmal.
