Did Thames Water say it would take a Dick Head or a decade to turn the water company around?

Well, they tried the first of your suggestions. All he did was dispense largesse to all his mates.

Good morning all. Blue skies with some cloud floating about round 'ere. Talk of more rain which we still desperately need.
First cuppa's ingredients have been gathered and mixed together in a vessel ready for consuming

We had a massive 2 mm of rain yesterday according to our rain gauge. It seemed quite a bit when it was raining.

Good morning from Suffolk where the bright & breezy start to the day has become an overcast and breezy one.
Coffee has been had to the faint background sound of that two stroke strimmer/cutter thingie being revved for the fifth morning in a row.

With a two month break between my away days, I've been getting a bit restless and looking for something to do or somewhere to go just to get away for a night and last night's (sober) browsing found me booking to see a band down in Tunbridge Wells at the end of the month.

Congratulations to @fossyant jr.

My niece should soon find out the results of her masters in chemistry and whether she can then go on to study for a PhD in material sciences specialising in solar cell technology which will be in Manchester. (Quietly proud uncle)

That's the inside of the windows cleaned and I was about to do the outside, but it's just stated drizzling. Vacuuming or coffee instead?

Yes Officer that is what i said and i stand by it.There were three lines of white dust on the coffee table.The vac has stopped working so i rolled up a twenty pound note for a laugh and sort of sucked it up.

In my experience, they do tend to leak a little, especially if they're hot or being used in warm temps - because the oil becomes more runny. The oil keeps the chain and bar cool and lubricated, and this is essentially done by a drip feed.

I store mine resting on an old window box filled with sawdust to catch the drippage.

ok thanks. I did use mine for an extended period yesterday, on an old tree stump, in my backyard. I chip away at it, a little every year, & let nature rotting process assist. I store mine on a wooden shelf on a card board box in the basement so I rarely look under it. but yesterday I put it down on a stone patio step & then had to clean up the step. it's gonna take a little time to get it back to clean stone

thank you again for the ping

Afternoon cup of hot chocolate went down well with a digestive.
