Rain here too, though apparently this is just the warm up to the real rain that's arriving tomorrow

That heat wave seems a long time ago now.

I'm having a tea break. I'm at the head scratching state, skirting board off and a floor board up. If I was to plumb it in as is the pipework would come up slap dead centre of the cupboard and would become a feature. Plus the isolating valves would be hidden below the base of the cupboard. Not an ideal situation, it would either be another episode of Das Boot or dry as a bone when I turned the taps on.

I've just taken a load of clothes out of the dryer.

Is it better looking than the old one? How much did the surgery cost?

My grass needs the rain as I've just applied weed and feed.

Not a lot, I took in a picture of Reg and said "make me look like him"

I have no grass, just patches in between the bare soil, it's on my 'to do list'

Someone on the radio has just said "as the nights draw in".For god's sake we're still in June!

I am being unnecessarily suspicious in the following scenario, or justifiably cautious.

A few days ago, a small leaflet was delivered by hand, and put through the letterbox. The leaflet explained that a mobile sharpening service would be calling in this area, and gave a number to ring. I ignored that, but thought, hmmm could do with getting my garden shears sharpened.

This morning it is two people knocking on doors about the mobile sharpening. I said "no thank you" very politely. Do they work in pairs, gain access to your garage, then one person distracts you while the other sizes up the house regarding burglary in two or three weeks, or am I paranoid? What thinks the panel?

I've got my computer back and its working, but I've got no sound. I've phoned them up and I'll be taking it back Friday.

I am having a cup of tea. The sink cupboard went from an episode of Das Boot to One Foot in the Grave. Skirting board off, a couple of floor boards up and some new pipework installed with a bit of flooding. I decided to put the 2 isolators as close to the back as possible and drilled holes just large enough for them to pop through. I lowered the cupboard into place over the pipes. One went in but the other decided to hide. I was like an Eskimo fishing. I couldn't reach in from front sides or back as the cupboard is fully enclosed below the bottom shelf. I lifted the cupboard off, removed the floor boards and tried again, and with a bit off fiddling managed to get both pipes through.
The next time I fit the cupboard I will fit some plastic pipes to lead the pipes through.

I was assuming sharpening was some kind of upgrade to a phone that I had t heard of, though in my mind I just saw a pencil sharpener (admittedly a large one), with a phone being pushed into it..... until I read that last sentence . I think I need some more sleep tonight!!
