I am in a different situation to you Cassandra, I don't have a washing machine, but do have a lot of old trousers, so rather than go down to the laundrette and wash the trousers I am wearing them to destruction and slinging them! I have replaced one pair, in case, so far; in case meaning that if I have to go to work and expecting a visitation from a dignitary, I can at least look smartish, even if I am the 3rd storeman on the left and sited in the lorry garage, occasionally I get introduced to the MD of a major customer or supplier. I will be buying another 3 pairs in the near future, jic-just in case-I get fame, Ha, Ha!
I have the solution, MR, add a few extra belt holders round the waist band to accommodate the belt and reduce the sag of the excess cloth or when I have such a problem I wear a long pullover!.
How long does the big kiln take to complete its' cycle MR? I went to a demo a long time ago now-25 years ago-on some mountain woodland below Builth Wells, where the chap had started the job the day before hoping to be able to show the smoke change after, I think, 12 hours burning and then the hole blocking ceremony. It didn't happen whilst i was there so I learned very little, but was fascinated by the description of its workings thinking I would like a go. Well past it now, too much hard graft. Next time I fall a tree it will keep me in warmth and hot water for a couple of years I hope-ash!
We all knew each other at a previous forum, dpack, so it wasn't hard to get back to talking again. I have to say this is a better all round forum; and I haven't seen a cross word yet from anyone. Plenty of aggro where we came from, if you wanted it, mostly stemming from one man in particular. I am much happier here, more advice available if you need it. |

Well today started well enough got a lot chopped this morning, did all I needed to do at work in time for the boys arriving and everything was as rosy as 'they' say. Left work at 1.00pm as has been normal for this week, one of our number being on holiday. On my way home I call daily to get lunch and evening meal. Today, however, I went to the bank first to get some cash, more than the card would allow, so off to the cashier who wouldn't give me the money as she said my signature didn't match that they have in the bank's computer. So I went to the cash machine and got what I could, and will be calling there daily from now on for 5 days! And the plan is to leave the bank and go elsewhere asap. Not sure where to go as I don't want pooter banking. I have enough trouble understanding what I am supposed to do, without another complication to give me issues to deal with. Happy now that has been aired, I will repent by Monday.
MR I have seen gardens on barges-narrow boats-(barges when I was a child), and they were full of coal and other goodies as cargo, taken over by the roads and big lorries now-not a veg or flower to be seen! This trend may change when/if diesel is banned and canals may even come back into favour!
I am not much of a cook either, Jam Lady. I tend to be heating things up to eat-not proper cooking. I can get a jacket potato, tin of peas or carrots and a piece of fish heated to make a meal sort of, though lately I have been eating vegetarian steak as the grill has decided not to work. I hope the coating people arrived to get the job done for you and to your satisfaction.
Tomorrow I will be carting more stuff from my current abode to my house and new shed in the afternoon, post posting here. It is a great shed but was build on concrete already laid a long time ago to hold manure from cattle prior to spreading in more clement weather. It was laid in sections and not sealed so the water, when it rains comes up and flows through the shed, I am not happy; I have to put all things aquaphobic in their own waterproof container-I'd do things differently using hindsight now, but foresight earlier would have been very useful! Once I am in then I will put a layer of screed down which will stop the problem instantly-hopefully. |
