process so time to do a final count & order some more.

Spent the morning playing in the duck with the grab, drizzle rain & its nearly sataday.

Ordinarily it would seem like a good idea but the Sky+HD box does not cater for any form of dish pointing, or LNB Diseqc switching for that matter, or extra channels outside the Sky channel line-up in a very user friendly way. Having said that it is the functionality of the Sky box which keeps us with Sky, recording two channels at the same time as watching another plus all the catch up services integrated in the planner so they can be recorded to the HDD like a normal recording, to watch at any time. It's hard to beat really and using a receiver without that is like going back to a hand cart in comparison.

Also all three services we are watching, Sky, Kabelio and NOS have their own access cards which can't all be inserted in the same receiver at the same time, so really a dedicated receiver box and dish for each one seems logical, or at least an LNB each if a couple of them can be got on the same dish.

Sounds like you have it all sorted

Due to weather and forthcoming round of inviting peeps to din, which we always seem to leave till the last min, been a bit of a borin mornin.
Still, went through our stock of preserves.
Chucked out 3 big jars of gherkins which were basically too old.
Salvaged the over-gloopy Creme de Cassis by simply slopping a bit out of the bottle and replacing it with a bit of vodka, so that was good.
W making home made tomato soup as the test lot was lush! For guests tomoz.
I am about to steam clean the ground floor as a dog or two has brought in some weird stuff, no idea what and never seen it before.

Oh and a bunch of wasps have gone back to where the old nest was, roughly, and they seem to have young with them. We have no idea what they are doing but they don't seem pleased. Have yet to Google it to see what they are up to.

Yessdi, about 1/3 of the way up the mountain W's Pluriel's electronic power steering decided to go on the blink. So Stan had a real workout hauling it around all the bends to get us home.
The bonnet didn't want to open, which has almost never happened before. Once that was fixed, tried the usual bettery disconnect to reset it. din't work. So flipped about with it a bit more, and eventually the flipping computer decided to allow us to have the steering back as it should be.
I can't help feeling this is a safety critical item and it should absolutely not be able to happen when driving. Lucky it was me and not W at the wheel.
Have a nice arvo folks!

Is that your personal grading process or one you are stuck with from building control or summat?
I can see the ones on the boards look a little manky, holes gone wrong etc. Or am I imagining it?


Now you're going to tell me those are the ones that passed muster!!!

I know you guys are there all year round so things are differnet for us, but we don't have TV over here. Except that we record a mass of stuff on our Humax box which we bring with us and then we still watch DVDs as we are old skool!
We get news etc over the internet.
Would a normal Humax box work with satellite? As it can record up to 4 channels at once it seems like it might be useful for yous guyz!

Our new mate has now got 3 butts all connected at the top. It hasn't rained for ages and his gutter only collects off one part of his roof, but in the other night's rain it filled them all up.

His new (very slim) well has a pump down it and is working well too so he is happy!

Never heard of gluing roof slate, bit of a slippery slope if the glue failed..

Thanks very much. They are really good slates with a variation of shades which l think is really nice, I might re-do my
wee cottage next year in the same slates. Ive got Welsh slates on atm but they are quite thin so re-dressing them is tricky.

Some people used grip fix but only for individual slates as a repair instead of a copper strip a bit easier off a roof ladder but don't last as long

That's the trouble if thay get to thin and Dusty thay split through the length in line with the nail hole on removing I did a big job and thay wanted Spanish slates because cheaper so much variation in thicknes had to sort them to the same for each course and lots of defects and soft spots cost more in the long run
