7th September 2022 - Stones and Bubbles

Thought for the day :"My partner told me I can be an idiot sometimes – nice to have permission"

An interesting day - with mixed results...
Started the day clearing the Beer Garden of stones again - only doing a bit each day ..But there is progress...

yesterday

Today - a little progress

Meanwhile, Bubbles !!

Toby enjoyed !

We have a small problem with the plumbing at Ffynnon Wen - the shower and macerating toilet are on a circuit that has an automatic water pump. This is meant to switch off when the water is turned off but occasionally it decides to stay on - we don't know why. It may be to do with water pressure - or anything else.

The trick is to leave the cold water on for a while at full blast - and if done correctly then it will switch off - so I tried tonight. I directed the flow against the wall but it seems there may be a small gap in the seal as after it had been switched off for a while - and in fairness the pump switched off as well.

But sitting at my desktop machine a steady drip of water started to fall on my desk - the laptop and keyboards and to be fair a small panic ensued. 

A bit Heath - Robinson ish - but protected the equipment.. Need to get some sealant now.

 

And the rest of the day was de-nailing a bit more of the pallets. Again slow progress - but some.

A visit to see Vic for Susie - I didn't go in this time - he hardly knows Susie and there in no conversation so the visit was not very long - but he has recovered from his chest infection and is enjoying his tea still. 

In other news ...  Truss Issues

And a quick review of the election of leader..

Well they made the choice...
 

Off to Bristol tomorrow to pick up Chrissie and Paul from the hotel.

Another day moves on ...

Cheers !
