What have you been doing today?

Just sold our old combi-microwave oven - today, of all days. I bought it used, as distress purchase, when our original failed, a while back - just to give me time to assess the market, and decide what to replace it with. I bought a replacement a few months ago, and the temporary has been sat blocking up the utility worktop space, ever since. Glad to see it gone, out of the way.

What was it - a last minute crimbo present for someone when all the shops are shut? Someone is not going to be happy today…. :ROFLMAO:
 
fixing my bike this morning, long walk in the woods this afternoon

some family has started to arrive now for the evening so i'm off down the workshop for a bit of peace
 
Finished Chrimbo dins.

Forgot the bleeding sprouts.

And the bleeding pigs not yet in blankets, that cost several arms and legs from the local butcher.

We'll have them another meal.

Got several frozen puds from COOK again this year. They went down well.
 
Best 15 quid I've ever spent, what a game such a laugh :)

Woken this morning, by Av complaining the downstairs toilet, wouldn't flush, because the cistern wasn't filling with water - she'd had to use a bucket.....

By 11am, I was just about awake enough to go take a look. The little plastic float valve, was catching on top of the flush. Somehow, the plastic flush valve (beginning with a 'D') had managed to rotate several degrees, enough to place itself under the float. The water continued to drip from the fill valve, even with the local isolator off. I managed to work out it was passing through TMV, so isolated at the local HW isolator too. Bailed out the cistern, removed the flush, just a plastic peg holding it, rotated flush pipe, and refitted the flush. Water back on - tested and working.

I still don't know, how the flush managed to rotate in the cistern, it was quite tight in there?

We blame all the odd happenings, in and around the home, on 'Fred'. Fred leaves lights on, hides odd socks, flattens batteries, hides things in strange places, and makes all the spooky, unexplainable noises.

It used to be 'Mr Nobody' in our house when things happened when the kids were still living at home.
