Is that the original version of the 39 steps ?

As an opera. Written by Wagner: Die Steppenungenenen. About seven days long at a guess...

Shower has passed just to the south. Looks like it dumped its load on Littleport instead.

We have got a problem,at the moment the guy is away buying the pipe or tubing for the long run under the cabinets.He has asked us to empty one more unit,he is going to cut open the back of the unit to see where some pipe work is going.But glory be ,there is a hole cut perfectly in to the panel with a modern joint showing, we might just have got some good luck.

 

[postman]

Wonderful finding that joint has been a game changer.He says he will be out of our way very soon.

 

[postman]

Tip for all of you.If a builder puts piping in a concrete floor make sure he wraps it in a covering,it might not corrode.

 

[Reynard]

I'm off downstairs to put the kettle on.

 

[Illaveago]

It's Windsday here today !
I wonder what day it will be tomorrow ?

 

[Reynard]

A has been made.

I have two shortbread fingers to go with it.

@Reynard By coincidence, the connection between Arsenal, interment and Gunnersbury came up on this afternoon's Brain of Britain programme. I rarely have the slightest clue what's going on in that programme so I was dead chuffed to have the answer before the quizzees.

Now that's neat!

Here in Hundred Acre wood, we have some new arrivals, Wombat Vombatus Ursinus, from Tasmania.

We are trying to think of a shorter name for them.

The larger one is Mrs Vombatus and her son has not got a name yet,

Junior?

Put the battery back in the mower, and it started with the first turn of the key.

That's a weight off my mind, and I can now get down to tackling the weeds, umm, sorry, grass that make up my excuse for a lawn. Although I will skirt around the big drifts of forget-me-nots, and won't cut those until they've self-seeded.

They turned up in my garden randomly many years ago, and given how much they've spread, they obviously like it here.

 

[postman]

Final report and sorry if it should have gone in another section.Job done,pipework had corroded set in concrete 30 years ago.It was the top sticking out.Solution was a bypass with that that modern white bendy pipe.So the bill,don't forget I was quoted £65 call out and first hour,then £ 60 per hour after so he arrived at 13-00 and left just after 17-15.Materials were a long piece of piping and a few joints.Final cost and we were stunned £ 275, we were so grateful we have him £ 20 as a tip.

 

[Reynard]

Right, it's almost time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

Felix AGAIL for the girls, and a jacket potato with the leftover curry for me. Oh, and a helping of crumble and custard for afters.
