Last One to Post Wins

[Stephen]

The BBQ will be getting its first outing today for a clean up ready for tomorrow's offerings.

[Ray B]

It's looking good for tomorrow, maybe a tad windy, but it should be warm.
Today is starting to look nice as well.

[Happydays]

Really foggy here - need to rethink my timetable for today - probably end up baking again

I usually bake a few times a week but having to cut back to once a week to make the flour last, last two pieces of this afternoon

[Stephen]

It's been glorious out in the garden today.
Grass cut and edges strimmed. BBQ deep cleaned, mind you when first lifting the lid I could have started my own Penicillin pharmacy.

MRS S has been pruning and digging over borders and generally pottering. You would never think there was anything wrong in the world at the moment.

[Jan Rosser]

Come on wakey wakey - rise and shine - the combination of lighter mornings and not sleeping well has me up and about much earlier than normal - about to have my second cuppa but at least its bright and sunny today. Onwards and upwards mateys

[Stephen]

Steady on Jan it is Sunday

Yes another glorious day here as well. Be careful out in sun everyone, it's stronger than you think, especially with the breeze as well. The top of my roof caught it yesterday (no thatch) and I was wearing a hat allot of the time.

Our plan for today is, a bit of light gardening this morning then drinks and BBQ

My Master Plan was to power-wash the patio and paths etc but the brass connector from the outside wall to the hose line is cracked so it squirts everywhen when under pressure.

Will I be able to get a replacement …..

[Mervyn and Trish]

I've got Araldite on Amazon for urgent maintenance need. Should be here by December.

[Manoverboard]

Two high quality brass fittings via e-Bay will arrive Wednesday - ish

If you've got a good iron monger like ours Moby then yes. I had to get a new mixer tap valve a couple of days ago from the plumbing side of their business. All well organised, a chair blocking the door with plastic sheeting above that. A bell is left on the chair to ring then someone comes along in gloves and deals with you order.

Would be grateful for a shop let alone an ironmonger

Your times up

[Manoverboard]

Your times up

They tell me its coming on Wednesday … will it fit the connection on the hose line ….

[Stephen]

Time will tell.

[towny44]

Will he remember to turn off the water before he disconnects the old one?!!

[Stephen]

He is 90 so who knows

[Ray B]

What is this 'brass connector'? I just have a couple of taps with a hose union connector fitted on the garage.

[Stephen]

I think it's the brass connector that screws onto the threaded part of the outside tap. Then the hose connector on Moby's power wash hose connects to that. But I may be wrong......it has been known

Hey, you're smarter than I thought … I think

Dead right

[Stephen]

Cheeky.

[Ray B]

Therefore, is it leaking where it screws onto the tap, as I can not see how it can split, unless it has received a knock. f

[Ray B]

Thank you for clarification re 'loopy loos' I did wonder.

....and of course he is a Watford fan.

[Mervyn and Trish]

Our widgets on outside taps occasionally leak or get damaged if we've left them out in the frost.
