I have been messing about with my parents' washing machine. It had the symptoms of knackered brushes but they seem to have decent length left. I cleaned them and put it all back together again. It seems to be working now.
one of the springs may have just snagged, taking it to bits and putting it back together will of done the trick
It's been a sunny and chilly day here chez Casa Reynard, with a rather brisk WNW breeze.
Slept well. Did a bunch of chores including emptying the ash from the grate and topping up the wood bins. I like to keep a good couple of days' worth of firewood in the house.
Main task today was fitting the new bar to the chainsaw. I can't find the manual (probably somewhere in the garage), so had to work it out. Heck, it's only three parts to put together (not counting the chain). But if you put one item in upside down, it all fits, except you then can't get the chain guard back on... Got there eventually. Yet to test the saw, but will do that tomorrow, as I the "big log" bin in the garage is almost empty.
The parental has been celebrating her Cake Day today. Upon request, I cooked a very nice meal consisting of braised venison burgers in onion gravy, triple-cooked chips fried in beef dripping and caulisprout cheese with stilton and a crispy garlic breadcrumb topping.
Plan on spending the evening writing and possibly furkling around on the Bay of E.
That was interesting! On the news last night the buildy peeps said that they don't have enough skilled people to build all these planned new houses. Well who would have thought that?
They will just have to get those 5 peeps that I saw working on the M1 roadworks to help them.
You saw someone working on the M1 roadworks?
Pleasant few miles with the dog in lovely mild & sunny weather..
Certainly beats the earlier threat of going to a Retail Park!
Well they were there but not actually working. Apparently they also work at night according to road signs.
stop wearing a kilt this time of year .
