Doorbell rang yesterday

it was the bloke next door saying that our right hand gutter is blocked
That wall of our house is the side of his property - so our gutter overhangs the passageway to their back
and they always go in and ou tthrough that door so when it was rainign they had to dodge a waterfall to get in!

turns out there is a large weed/plant growing out of it that I couldn't see unless I went down there

anyway - I have a new extension for the powerwasher that I used to clear the back gutter a few days ago
so I thought I would just about have time to clear that gutter before we needed to go out

Hmm - every joint fo the extension leaked
plus - last time the power hose broke
so I was usign a new one

and the rubber washer sealing it broke first time I used it


AND - the weed was rooted into the downpipe so wouldnot come out


should be better than it was - but it will have to wait a few days until the storm has gone

On the bus back from Bournemouth railway station having seen Mrs Tkk off. Diversions in Bournemouth square so we're going via the Pier road. The sea looks a bit wild at the moment 😳

Milk maids on the WestHoughton Rd is worth a visit

Oh, yes. We know. That's another potential stop on the way home. The queues can be quite astonishing.

I've lusted over something like this but have settled on two cup Moka pot. My son bought me a Dualit machine which prepares the hot frothy milk. I've got a Krups grinder. This makes for a good combination.
