Instead of wasting money on a vanity project like HS2 they should have created a national water grid to even out the imbalances across the country and created more reservoirs and storage facilities.

Not here yet. Useless water companies, can't plan ahead or fix leaks, won't spend on new infrastructure. Instead they plan to charge us more when there's a shortage.

I had three jobs planned for today. Cut grass at the front, pull a few weeds out, chop up two pallets. Grass cut. Neeb took both pallets for his log burner so didn't need to get me chopper out (:eek:). Weeds can wait, it's too hot now.

Not yet.

Anyone on a hose pipe ban.

Id have pulled out my pressure washer to wash my motor then soaked his tools, accidently on purpose mind. ;)

Looks like another scorcher, need to go n clean the bbq we sat out last night....few beers & peanut butter whiskey. No plans for today. :)

It's people who are in their own little bubble and only think of themselves, their immediate needs and no-one/no-thing else. My NDNEEBS spring to mind. Out in the front garden chop-sawing wood for a new floor, plumes of sawdust up in the air...

Edited, again, sorry @Hippo

5 and 6 are supposed to light a lickle LED light or summat, which is there but don't work as far as I can tell. But I don't need it. ;)

Mornin Bright warm and sunny Just plan to stay cool today 🙂 Tallest sunflower now at seven feet six o_O Stay cool and holy all 🙂

Dunt drink it.

Morning All. :D Wow, what a different day, cool & overcast. Yesterday evening there wasn't a cloud in the sky. :) Family arriving for tomorrow's funeral later. :) Have a good day. :D

Objection. Reported ----

Friday the defender failed the mot due to the break fluid having to much moisture in it over here thay insert a probe in the reservoir for a reading, I should've known better ! But all sorted now so back tomorrow, also cleaned all the sensors...

Night all. :)

There are 5 zones at 10 amps and one the lounge-diner the biggest room at 20 amps if you look at the consumer unit. But these are then subdivided, for example, the guest wing has 3 zones, 2 bedrooms and the night hall and the bathroom. I used...

Well it is very dark outside so I had better put the hens to bed!

Soz, thinking about it, 1 and 2 but 2 is where you would expect 3 to be.

Ah you see information is king :). So all it’s doing is switching a relay somewhere else that takes the load for the floor element. Why I didn’t think of that when you said you were gonna connect the load across a bimetallic switch :vb-groan2:. J

Dottir has sent me pics of W getting outside some wine and stuff in their garden. She now has much better weather than me!!!

If you look back at the diag 3 and 2 have been swopped over for some bonkers reason which is why I used a multimeter to make sense of it all. Basically power goes from 1 to the bimetallic stat. When it closes,i.e. calls for power it connects to...

3? Goes nowhere. J

Absolutely right. Sadly more common in the UK where peeps are not used to such temps.

We keep the fan in the bedroom going for them more than us as well as a dog bowl of water on the landing. Edit: I felt that I should add that we don't lap from the same bowl as them, no matter how it is!!

In this weather we,like many round here always have a biggish bottle of tap water in the fridge. It helps that our tap water tastes good. No need to freeze it unless you intend going on a trip or summat.

When there are thunderstorm s they can blow the Sosh box and even blow our phones, this has happened in the past. So we disconnect it. But we can still use mobiles,so we do. Dottir tells me she is off the plane and OK. I suspect she has...
