Today I repainted the tubular frame which sits over my toilet to make it higher. I don't need it really; it was given to me in 2014 when I had my hip operation but some days when my knee is bad, it's useful.
When it first started to flake and rust (2017), I rang the agency for a replacement. They delivered another, which I put over the loo. The old one was in the garage for later pickup.
I sat on this new frame, fully clothed, to test it - and got stuck.
"Oh dear, what can the matter be? Portly old lady stuck on the lavatory...."
It was a good 8" narrower than the old frame but fortunately, after I'd stopped wetting myself laughing, I was able to prise myself out.
The old one went back in place and the new one was taken away.
Hence the need to repaint.
