The third day of October in the Year of our Lord two thousand and ten.

The pilot light on the water heater went out. Relighting it proved fruitless. (Memo to myself: buy more burn cream.) Ruddy service technician won't come until Tuesday. Will have to make due with cold water until then. Didn't bother telling the others.

I was wondering what that odd smell was this morning...

[godsavemy]

...you didn't recognise...?

Are you simply not invested in your continued survival...?

I have been spending late nights at the theatre preparing for Les Miz... I come home quite exhausted. It probably doesn't register... quite honestly, I thought you had tried cooking again.

[godsavemy]

Is that why you haven't compla--...Never mind. I don't care to know. Especially if...

So had you woken up first and attempted to put the kettle on...

What? Havin' trouble with your heater? Shoulda given me a ring, mate. I could fix that with one hand tied behind m'back. Want me to take a look at it?

Gotta admit, I need something t'do after being cooped up in that madhouse for a week. If I say I'm visitin' family, Jared'll let me out on good behavior... and, well, s'been a while since I've seen ya. Would be nice t'chat with a bloke what doesn't think I'm an idiot right now...

[godsavemy]

Can you, unlike like that oblivious whathisname, at least recognise when there's a major gas leak?

...An idiot? Not...exactly the words I would use to describe you. ...Unless of course you've finally taken a fancy to the rest of our siblings' favourite activity of pissing about.

It's a bloody heater. If I can't fix something as simple as that, why, I can't in good conscience consider m'self a true dinkum Kiwi!

Ch, can't touch the stuff. Least of all not while I'm on all these meds n' the like. S'more... the row Braginski and I got into. Not gettin' too much approval for that, y'know?

[godsavemy]

Apparently not so simple that that duffer took so sodding long.

Not what I meant exactly, but regardless... And row? I mean, I've heard a somethings here and there, but I'm not in frequent contact with the grapevine, I'm afraid...
