Morning folks. It's raining 
Mornin all!
Dry, sunny but cloudy at the same time here.
Sounds weird but we often get it.
Off shopping in a while then back to take W for X-ray and possible plaster removal.
Gritting my teeth for what happens afterwards.
The noo neeb's W is a retired nurse and talked to me through the undergrowth yessdi, as she is inclined to do,
(Not THAT undergrowth you durdy beggars!)
She mentioned that if you don't get it right the pain in an ankle can last for the rest of your life. So I am just hoping they fit her with a plastic boot and tell her to go get some physio.
That is if it is healed of course, which can take up to 12 weeks!
She also offered to show her some exrecises to do.
Anyway, we'll see.
And once again MOL, so pleased for you with the result!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr................. 2nd attempt to fix her Mini's A/C has failed.
Needs new parts which are not available, so a whole new unit has to be bought total cost £850.
Just been to get the Mini back and have had a chat with the technician.
Its the main Electric fan for the engine & Aircon combined. The low-speed side has failed (power up to the resistor, but not through it). On earlier Mini's you could replace the resistors separately, now its just a whole unit swap (Kerching).
Part is £300 + fitting. The over pressurisation this has created has caused the condensor to begin leaking (dye test).
Problem is that the low-speed fan is there to cool the engine and take heat out of the A/C and if its not running the engine runs hot all the time until the thermal switch triggers the high-speed side of the fan. This is not good for the A/C or the engine.
So, it just has to be done. Another example of the excellence of German engineering from BMW I think.

I got my first contact on 2m today. The rig I built worked great. The battery was just a test and needs to be replaced with a bigger one but it proved the concept. Really pleased

I was innocently minding my own business making stuff on my lathe when a little voice called my name.
It was my neighbour Audrey (88). She wanted to tell me that another plumbing calamity had befallen her.
Her kitchen sink is blocked and all backed up.
I said I would take a look in a short while as soon as I had finished he piece I was working on.
I went over there with a plunger etc. But no joy.
The under-sink plumbing had a t least 3 90-degree bends in the first 12" after the U-bend, and this is always a problem.
I put a bucket under the sink and undid the "U" . Got soaked with the foul-smelling contents of her kitchen sink.
Cleared it all up, took the u-bend over to my house and cleaned it all out. Put it all back together and ran some water to remove all the gunge in the bottom of the sink. Nope! Still-blocked.
If I could find my little rota-rooter I would have tried to poke it through the pipework, but I think one of my sons has it.
All I could do is say get a plumber with an internal pipework rodding-set/rota-rooter.
So, filthy dirty, hacked off at not fixing it and grumpy for the rest of the day. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

No, I checked the outside end.Has anything blocked an outside drain. Happened to my nana and turns out a neighbour had let ivy grow in their drain....
She called me a short while ago to say that she had got a call-out plumber to attend and he had used a rota-rooter or similar to unblock the pipes from u-bend to drain with it. Like I would have done if I had been able to find mine.
