Your secret is safe with me. Make sure you take your kilt, it's cold there. Would you like to borrow my ladder to get over the wall?
I would just like to say

.... well the new CH is progressing but the convo is depressing.
"These old boilers last forever....much better than this new rubbish we install."
"The Warranties aren't worth a light, they always wriggle out of them".
Makes one wonder why we try to be so much more "efficient" in our use of fuel.

Afternoon folks .
Been a little cooler this last week, even had some rain. not had to put any big boy trousers on yet though.
Last few days we have had the big chickens roosting on the common overnight, so the birds are on thier way to the winter houses down south somewhere. Same with the housemartins and Bee eaters. So those with sun keep topping up your vit D.
Probably going to lay the wooden floor at friends house next week, so hope it stays cool and dry. Have been putting it off but cant any longer as She wants her proper kitchen in which should be ready in a mth. Which means I will also get mugged into repositioning a socket and fitting a gas pipe to the hob
I think I will charge Her a steak dinner with loads of beer at that new resturant we went too cos that was really good. Do you think thats cheap labour?

As I said, I have been reading back through the old posts on here, and this was mentioned back then. I did point out it is W's tipple in UK pubs and we always have some int 'ouse.
So yes, ideally we'd love to do this, but we'd have to first crush and filter the apples, which is the biggest pain, then do the rest of the biz.
I have in the past in the UK done it, on a very small scale, crushing and filtering by hand, but it really takes a bit of a team, a bit of space and quite a bit of equipment. Also it tends to go orf if not bottled and again it needs bottles that can take pressure, or a barrel or two with CO2 floating on the top. The barrels could not easily be transported to the UK. So it is all a bit of a pain.
I have a mate in the UK that does this, but there are a few of them in the group and they have invested in proper machinery to make it easier.

I never did anything with mine but I have heard that if you think the rubber springs are too hard, you can simply drill holes in them.Hmmmm... some people go on springs and then strangely come back to the rubber units afterwards. I guess it is a "marmite" type thing.
New rubber springs are softer, of course. But the springs are adjustable if you get the right kit.
Springs and roundabouts I suppose!

They did before @Hippo started fattening them up (for the pot
).Saw our little "tuffty" the other day running from tree to tree down our front then off to the end of the road to check that tree. Guess he was checking if his winter store was ready to harvest,and hide yet

Elocution Lessons 1950:
Father's car is a Jaguar and Pa drives rather fast,
Castles, farms, and draughty barns, we go charging past,
Arthur's cart is far less smart and can't go half as far,
But I'd rather ride in Arthur's cart than my Pa's fast car.
Elocution Lessons 2025:
My ol' man's got a Beamer, Mate, and he thinks he is the biz,
Buses, cars, and motor bikes, we pass with a whizz,
Grandpa drives like a snail, innit. I don't think he's all there,
And just like Dad, when he's around, you'll pull out all your hair..
