November 2013 – Fabulous showers

November 2013 – Fabulous showers

As the missing in transit LED shower tale runs and runs, I thought I would add a touch of glamour to the blog this month. The perfect opportunity presented itself at a friend’s shower in Bristol with its disco globe

October 2013 – Dangerous showers part 2

October 2013 – Dangerous showers part 2

Oh well, sooner than expected dangerous showers part 2 pops up on the radar. At the end of last month’s blog I signed off with: And Legionella? In my opinion its dangers are vastly overplayed (cue ironic death in later

September 2013 – Dangerous showers

Maybe I should have left this topic until next month to tie in with last October’s spooky showers blog. But my colour emitting shower is still in the post somewhere and I have just spent a few days on our

August 2013 – Still showering alone

August 2013 – Still showering alone

I received this PS to an email from Nick recently: “We are all waiting for the showering with a friend blog!” Well, sorry to disappoint my legion of fans out there but that wait will just have to continue. And

July 2013 – Showers and greywater

July 2013 – Showers and greywater

It’s been quite dry recently (relative term – after all this is the UK in summer we are talking about) and having replanted a clematis at the back of our garden, we were concerned about whether it would survive the

June 2013 – A short history of showering

June 2013 – A short history of showering

Having just walked Hadrian’s Wall and in the spirit of ‘What have the Romans ever done for us?’, I thought a short history of showering would be a good topic for this month’s blog. I would have liked to report

May 2013 – Power showers

Over 30 years ago I plumbed in my first power shower – thankfully not the first of many. It was over a freestanding original Victorian cast iron bath (complete with lion’s feet) in the middle of a bathroom that was as

April 2013 – Showering in Salzburg and Prague

April 2013 – Showering in Salzburg and Prague

An international feel to this month’s blog and the chance to make some interesting comparisons. It wasn’t quite Salzburg, (I was skiing in the Austrian Alps) but it was Prague which is (though Lyds may beg to differ) the capital

March 2013 – Should I wee in the shower?

March 2013 – Should I wee in the shower?

Well, that was a fortuitous turn of events… Saved from blogging about the history of electric showers (of which there seems a paucity of information) by this chance comment from Glamour magazine: “Save water, save the planet, pee in the

February 2013 – Showers and swimming pools

February 2013 – Showers and swimming pools

Should I shower before I swim? Which is more detrimental to the environment – the chlorine required to clean the swimming pool if I swim in it without showering v the impact of the hot water for a pre-dip shower?
