The past 2 weeks have been really busy at work and with travel. Friday I came back to the UK for a while. I managed to spend the weekend at home but didn't take any photos. We ended up doing shopping, most of which was unsuccessful. (I brought a new sim for my phone and after 2 days of it not working had to get a new one.) Still I had a nice time with my parents though we probably all had a bit too much to drink.
Sunday I came to Oxford where I'll be working for the next month. (And got my first experience with the replacement train buses.)
My apartment here is ... interesting. Thankfully I move to a new one on Saturday for the final 3 weeks! I am hoping it's better.
Still its good points are it is very pretty outside and in a nice part of Oxford, near the shops and some good restaurants and pubs.

The bad points are it seems to be falling apart. The water heater is in the bedroom and makes really loud noises throughout the night that have me jumping out of bed. (Now I have ear plugs so fingers crossed.) The TV and DVD player don't work. I can not figure out how to get the shower how to work. And last night the toilet stopped flushing. The letting agency got someone out to look at it today while as I was work. And I came home to this.

The pipe seems to have replaced the handle.
And I am hoping (and a bit worried if) the plumber just has a twisted sense of humor.

I am not exactly sure what to do about this yet. :/
Updated: It does work but you feel like an idiot doing it.
