Morning.
It is still dark outside but I can see that our cars are covered in frost.

They are talking about litter on the TV. I can remember back in 1990 going around colleges as I was going to go back into full time education to retrain. I was looking at art courses , Graphic Design, Illustration and packaging. I was told by the lecturers not to go for packaging design as packaging would be phased out in the future.
I went for Graphic Design and then Archaeological Illustration.

Little progress on the tÿ bach front. Much poking, prodding and unpleasant chemicals.
The pressure washer pipe blaster won't go around the 90 bends.
Removing the pan is next option. Seems a bit extreme.
Or?
Or?
Or pay a man with more toys than me to fix the problem.
My fear is the the lav pan man will want to remove the pan and open a whole new billing opportunity.
Caustic soda is to be procured in the morning!

One option that never seems to be mentioned is pushing a hose pipe into the blockage and then removing it. The extent of the blockage that is removed can cause the rest to shift.
Obviously the used end of the hosepipe needs chopping off and sealed bagged.

Good morning from Suffolk where, after a short respite, the greyness has returned overhead. The morning so far has been occupied by a long lie in and a coffee.

Coming up in a couple of hours time is the lunch with dad & stepmother organised by my sister so I need to have a shower & shave to look slightly more presentable than my current scruffy state.

Hoovering has been hoovered.. No Freddie Mercury impressions today 🕺

Longer walkies at the moment as the weather is OK. Free sausage for Bonnie and a cup of tea for me at Miller's Yard café 👌

Thanks for that. I had already used a snall diameter hose to deliver an enema to what seemed like the obstruction.
Limited success, but progress.
More and biker chemical required.
No cycling until this is resolved.
Well, only a pootle to the local hardware shop, Screwfix or Jewsons for a nuclear solution.
