It's turned into a nice spring day finally been able to spend a nice hour this afternoon in the greenhouse seed sowing. A bit late but given the weather of late early sowings would have only ended up being checked.
I've left them in a tray to water from the bottom, soon be time to put them on the heated bench for a bit of bottom heat.

Might unblock with some chemical cleaner down it from the supermarket

I was taught to put water in the sink and block the overflow then using a suction cup, work up a bit of suction with the plug out obviously then a hefty pull up which usually works.
No idea of the proper name for what I called a suction cup but I have had one for years but seldom needed.

I need one frequently for the drain in the shower.

I thought you would be interested.

Bright sunshine but torrential showers with little or no warning so no triking today. Did go up to my top garden shed but too cold to stay.
I did get out a strimmer I have which I cannot get to start tho’ other people seem to manage it ok. The problem seems to be that I cannot get a strong enough pull on the cord so I think I will just advertise it for anyone who can get it going.
Once it is out of the way the next task is to get my ICE Adventure in there where it is handy for taking out for occasional local runs. The access is very tight but I did get it inside in the past.

After 5 years living here, I've finally learnt how to set the time on my oven with the aid of YouTube. It'll be right in the morning....

Compost bin move finished, with any proper soil being used to build up the strawberry tubs. I then raked the lawn, re-filling the compost bin with moss.

Both cats are looking disgruntled; in moving the compost bin I've also deprived them of their entertainment and food source of the mice who lived in it. Waste food fed the mice, which in turn fed the cats.

Charle is really feeling sorry for himself trying to walk is really making him frustrated. He can't put any weight on his front leg on hearing his food dish. He tried to run it was a both comical and feeing sorry for him at the same time. The vets can't fit him in till tomorrow no normal hours appointments free and it's not an emergency. He's not in pain and his ok once he gets settled in bed.

It's cut and shut really.

Unlike dog owners, I don't HAVE to go outside when it's raining sideways or sub-zero. I can sit in my armchair by the fire with a book, a nice and a lap full of warm, purry cat.

I have a dog that dislikes rain, she'll soon turn for home if it's raining. She doesn't like puddles either, does a little jump over them.

Given the clocks change tomorrow I've pulled down/out my summer clothes and cycling kit, swapping it for the winter clothes/cycling kit.

I apologise profusely for the snow, hailstorms, torrential rain and freezing cold temperatures that are now about to inflict themselves on the local populace.

Sink plunger. Or just plunger.

Does your "dog" meaow, purr, and leave little puddles of cold vomit around the house?

N'er cast a clout 'til May is out - !
At the end of last May, to 'celebrate' retiring, I spent a few days camping & walking on the North Norfolk coast. Because of the wind, I got pretty cold, even with four layers on, so be warned - !

Thankfully no, but she does chase cats.

Aldi didn't have everything I wanted so the ebike had another outing to the nearest Lidl. The ability to understand what cycle stands are for was obviously lost on the staff there as in the majority they were in use as compost bag bays
It looked like they hadn't sold any of the cycling mitts.
