Mornin' (well, ish)
Often mucking about with satellite dishes here and have some pole brackets to sort out but otherwise not a lot of dish action. Set up one temporarily on a fence pole the other night, was pleased to get the sat after a couple of minutes, remembering roughly where to point it and the elevation still fixed set up from last time. Hoping to set up a multi-LNB bracket on another dish to eliminate that dish coz too many of them is a bit ugly
Yesterday's big job involved ovens - I know there is some history on here re. that subject which may cause some to groan... Long story short involves 3 ovens, the original one in this house was busted after a lightning strike (prone here as well it seems ).
Replaced that with a gas one removed from elsewhere but plumbing in a gas insert oven is a bit of a pain unless there is access from the side or back so this time brought another electric fan oven with us and swapped it. Connected up and ran some tests to see if it trips the supply. I was not convinced given the main breaker is 15A but it was OK
Today might see if we can run it with any other appliances on at the same time...

Obviously missing the scaffing.We done not too bad considering, roughly 180 slates including cuts at the far away gable end. It was scorching & the
sweat was dripping off me having to go up n down the ladder, having to move it every 8 slates plus carry them up one ladder
and go along the roof & down the other ladder to start at the far side & work back.
I will take a couple of pics tomorrow.
Yesterday I think I put on about 250, so its been a great couple of days & I cant thank my pals enough.
Is there no mileage in putting some up inside the garage and then passing them through until you get to the top or do you have covering you don't want to disturb? Thinking about it, the answer to that is "yep".
Just trying to think outside the box.
Went to "Bout du Pont de l'Arn" last night for a "Bodega night".
Place was heaving.
Bought a bot, eventually found a place to sit and chatted with peeps around us that we'd never met and prolly will never meet again. Everyone enjoying themselves listening to the live bands that were moving around inside the crowded tables, (Loads of different foods if you wanted it).
Lots of singing, some peeps dancing a few dancing on the tables. Two band members got on a table and it gave way! Neither came to harm or even stopped playing!
You all know I am a bit of a technophobe but I have to say that listening to a live band where all the players are somehow miked up wirelessly to a central "thing" which then puts the sound out through the speakers totally undistorted, was impressive.
Had to be off air for a longish while due to threat of thunderstorms but this seems to have been put off for a few hours now.
Other news, guess what? My old froggy mobile DOES still work with the new SIM.
Fink blokey can't have put it in straight. How do these peeps get trained?
So we will be having yet more words about a return of an unneeded mobile and a reimbursement next time they are open.
Not very sanguine about the outcome of that. But I do not wish to become "4 phones Stan".
Have a good one folks"

Love the Vulcan, did you catch the tail number? The one at Norwich airport was one of the ones that flew to the Falklands.

XM594. I had a climb up into the bomb bay, up a set of steps and stuck my head in. Could carry up to 21 bombs, or have extra fuel tanks ( one at the front or one at the back, or both tanks) and carry less bombs. I could have had a look in the cockpit but thought I might not fit in, (and it cost a sov to have a look).

That one took part in bombing raids too.
Found this, last flown 41 years ago. It's a beautiful aircraft that should have never been grounded.
