Happily it was a straightforward swap of identical models. Didn’t have to replace the sink flange as a result. It was an awkward business of hefting it up to get it aligned and locked into the flange, but it took only a mild amount of swearing to finally get it right.🤬
No leaks. Orders have been given to unfurl the mission accomplished banner.
(The wiring under this sink could use some taming. Whoever did it was certainly not paid by the hour. 🙄 )

The replacement garbage disposal is in place. I flip the switch to power it on and it comes to life.

We have too much snow where I live. Going to the train this morning felt like walking in a maze of snow. The 'true detective 3' feeling. Apparently it has been continuing to snow during the day so now I hope that I'll make it home from the train station

A snowy urban scene at night, featuring illuminated apartment buildings, a snow-covered pathway with tire tracks, and trees dusted with snow. Flakes are visibly falling, creating a serene winter atmosphere.

So my car has been complaining I should put some exhaust emissions neutralizing fluid in it. A thing they call AdBlue I believe.
Bought a big 10l drum of the stuff ready to fill up.
But when I look at where I expect to find the hole for filling it, I just find a capped off tube and a warning sticker "See the GM Citreon Berlingo Blaze manual" for the adblue refilling hole.
Only user manual I have is the one telling me to expect it there.
The car was converted for wheelchair access at some point in its life. I think they are referring to the wheelchair-adaption manual, which the seller did not give me.
🤔
Have been looking around the car as much as I can for a couple of hours this morning to no avail. Where have they hidden this hole to fill up adblue?
Maybe it's under the engine or something now and you have to put the thing on stilts to find it?
🤷
Asked my mechanic about it and he says to bring it in on Monday. Gonna be a pain if I have to rip up the floorboards or something every year to refill that.

Partly bright and sunny, but fully cold and with generous amounts of wind. “Brisk” doesn’t even begin to do it justice. Still, I am a freak and love this weather. It felt good to be out moving. #TeamShorts of course.
Walked briefly twice to bring my HR down a bit and then stopped to mug at this beautiful Great Blue Heron looking for their lunch. 🐟

My running stats: 7.02 km in 51:41 for an average pace of 7:21/km
A Great Blue Heron standing in shallow water, surrounded by autumn foliage and rocky shoreline.
A picturesque river scene with gently flowing water reflecting sunlight. Dense trees line the riverbanks under a backdrop of clouds and a partially visible sun. The atmosphere is serene and natural, showcasing the beauty of the landscape.
A metal bridge with a wooden deck and horizontal railings, surrounded by trees and blue skies with clouds. The perspective is from the center of the bridge, looking down the pathway.

Lee Miller took this on a holiday in Cornwall, where she had a fling with Paul (right). I love Leonora's wry smile to the camera.
It was 1937, and Leonora would soon have a nervous breakdown after Max was arrested as the war broke out. But this is a moment of bliss.

Four people pose for a photo in big coats. They press their heads together, one man on either side of a woman, with another man behind. They look like they are having a crazy friends day.
