The missus has ask for something in silk for Christmas. I bet you this tin of emulsion will be the wrong colour.

Good Morning. It is a frosty one this morning and yellow warnings.
Next week is set to be better and dry so shall see if garage can do my Motorhome MOT next week.

The plumber is obviously a lot slimmer than I am

He put coveralls on, but did not wear a mask. Makes no sense that he did that.

I was really surprised that is how they repaired it.
It was a very narrow space that he had to crawl into, cutting through the plaster board makes more sense.

Good Morning.
What a silly plumber. Should have put a coveralls on and worn a mask.

He also could have repaired from inside the room. Just cut a hole half way along the bracket and fed a piece of wood in then repaired the hole. Its behind the radiator and would not be seen.

Had the plumbers in yesterday Two of our radiators had become loose on their brackets and needed propped up in order to stay fixed to the wall, the plaster board is thinner than what is used nowadays Cottage has eaves upstairs and younger guy crawled behind walls to put some wood behind wall for radiator to be fixed to. He crawled through the yellow fluffy insulation and never wore a mask. Afterwards he spent about 10 minutes choking. It was quite distressing.

Morning rovi

I wish they were but no, if I'm off there is no one to cover and I get calls if urgent and go back to a load of work but can and will retire two years in April

Hi all. 2G if you have a day off is your work covered or does it just stack up. Daughter works for the nhs as she puts it servicing five surgeons an fifty to sixty patients inquiring when's my opp. All computer and phone work. No one takes over if she is off for under five days Not good high stress. Hope your company is better than that.

[2gekko] 02/12/2024 22:56

Yes I shall have to get it sorted and maybe that is what's causing the high humidity readings, oh well back to work tomorrow after a three day weekend but I now have a four day weekend to look forward to, same every year I don't take my holidays and then end up having half of December off

[jonjonck] 02/12/2024 21:31

It is a heck of a lot cheaper to replace the sealed units. Very easy to fit as well so does not take a tradesman very long.

[2gekko] 02/12/2024 18:28

That's a very good point and thanks for that, I shall probably have to have the bedroom windows replaced as some of them have blown and one has water in between the glass, frames are ok so hopefully just the sealed units

Good Afternoon
Remember humidity readings go up as the air gets cooler. % humidity readings are the percentage of the max moisture the air will hold at a given temperature. Warm air can hold more moisture so if you drop the temperature in your house the amount of moisture could stay the same but the humidity reading goes up.
If you heat your house the humidity readings will fall but there is no change to the actual amount of moisture so when it cools down again you go back to the original reading.

Yes it was many moons ago, I'm not sure if donkey rides are still done

Humidity is a struggle, I can get it to 55% with heating and dehumidifier on but it's so damp outside at the moment you can't open a window as the number goes up!

[jonjonck] 01/12/2024 15:30

2G, how is the humidity in your sweet home doing these days?

[jonjonck] 01/12/2024 11:43

..and I dare say this was a very very long time ago.

[2gekko] 01/12/2024 09:54

No shivelling at present, the last stables was part loaning the horse so you look after it as well as riding, this is just lessons

The closest I have been to riding was a donkey on Southend beach

[jonjonck] 01/12/2024 08:55

Good morning. Do you do the shivelling as well? Took me a minute to work that one out...not awake yet. I was not feeling too well yesterday and went to bed early.
Today is another day and hopefully dried up later and get a nice decent walk.

Have fun at the stables 2G. Do you ride as well?

[2gekko] 01/12/2024 06:37

Morning

We are orf to the stables today for lovely daughters horse riding, at least it's not shivelling shot at this one but that will come again one day

[jonjonck] 29/11/2024 23:26

Delicious... has blueberries in the bottom of the bottle which are delicious when you finish the bottle. If you are clever you can get them out in every glass you drink.

[rovi70] 29/11/2024 19:59

Sounds loverly blueberry's are part of our every day breakfast. Alpen Blueberry RaspberryAnd dried prunes although we do soak the prunes in a mix of port and sherry whilst bottling.

[2gekko] 29/11/2024 19:47
