I used to go to a pub, reglur, in a valley near Dawlish, where there was an ancient ex-farm labourer, most nights. Skinny little chap with his troos hoisted up to just under his armpits, Jim Johns his name was. No one could understand a word he said, yet he rattled on all night. All the publican understood was "Nuver pint" and "Top shelf" (where he kept the little ceegars he liked.)
We liked him though and he got he fair share of pints off us!
 
Hot again here.
W is back on stripping cherries down for jam making. long sticky job.
I'll be off in a mo with the big machine to make some noise and hopefully achieve a bit before my back grumbles too much.
Our hens appear not to be bothered about cherries which is a shame as we will have a lot of rejected bits that we thought they'd like. :(
They are different every year. :rolleyes:
 
... Ladders were retrieved from bottom of garden, been up to look at the area where the water is getting into the bay window upstairs (ladders are sworn enemy of my knees). Maybe not as bad as I at first thought when looking from inside the bedroom. :)
I could see a very clear 6-8mm break in the sealant where wind-driven rain could be sure to enter. Right on the window-sill/cill to house-wall interface. The water runs down the windows, onto the sill/cill where it then runs backwards towards the wall straight into this hole in the sealant.

So, a generous squirt of top-quality sealant was applied all along that line and further rubbed in with my finger and then a bit more on top. Then a thick coat of fresh masonry paint right up to the sealant and all down the internal corner of the bay window to fill/cover all the little hairline cracks that alternate hot/cold weather produces over time.

I shall keep my "weather-eye" on this to see if the problem is resolved or not, but I think this was so blatantly obvious I probably have "fixed it". :D
 
So this ain't it then?
Looks like it hooks behind two bolts.

(Dunno why I am bovvad about all this really!!))

I fink the words to watch are ... "the EGR blank fits SOME of the Ford Transit..."

and I'm not sure he fitted a blanking plate, more a noo EGR, but hey ...
 
Mornin volks
Us boys bin uppun aboat verra bit, geddun dressed now an off ferra noose pepper.

(A very good morning to you, WL. I just thought I’d post brief note to inform you of my movements. I’ve actually been awake and busy for some little while and will shortly choose suitable attire and make my way into the town to patronise the local tradesmen, as is my wont).

Haha thank you that made me smile alot.

It gets flipping humid here. Being in the mountings we are often in cloud and get a lot of rain then when the sun gets turned on, it turns all that watter into humidity. We have a humidity gauge and it showed nearly 100% the other day!
I worked out today why I dislike the heat, it got v warm at work and I couldn't cool down before I felt sick.

Best time to do it ATM where it won't get wet 😬
If you found it the cat is to well fed ;).
I had to rescue/evict 1 out of the pool yesterday morning as he hadnt paid his admission fee. No idea how long it had been doing the mousey paddle, but he scampered off pretty quick.

She is earning her keep. It's fun to watch her patrol the garden and she boops my strawberry plants to make sure they are ok. She's helpful like when I had the socket drop on my eyebrow under the car I was swearing so she licked me elbow to give me affection.
