COLD DARK ROOM

[Cathie G]

Vinegar was what my gran treated wasp stings with

An antihistamine like Piriton will provide relief as will ice

I'll have to remember that one. I use vinegar or cold coffee on sunburns too. Or even burns. It works.

Are there houses like that on the other side of the street?

Not in that particular spot, but there are houses higher up the hill on the left though.
Usually there are rows on either side of the road - houses built for miners and steelworkers etc., when the area had lots of coal mines other industries.

It's a nice privet spot to sit!!

 

[Lyn W]

To be fair, sounds like it used to have a view. Now, just a place to sit and look at one’s phone.

That's all people tend to be doing when you see them sat on benches these days.

My son works at Vendo in DFW, Texas and someone brings do-nuts on Fridays. Take a look at today's assortment. I've never seen such an assortment. Wow! What a variety. Would be hard to choose:

Nothing fancy for me - just a plain jam doughnut please and a lovely cup of tea!

Good evening all.
My first day back in work went OK - lovely to see the everyone but I'm glad it was just the one day!
It was hard to get up early and have to be organised to leave the house by 8. That's always hard after the summer holidays but after almost 4 months it was very difficult. I'll have to do it twice next week!!
Lola was still in bed when I left, but he had a couple of hours in and out of the garden when I got home.
Anyway I'm off to bed as very tired tonight.
So Nos Da and see you soon.

Yes.

Ok so if you let some air out and get bubbles or water then the rubber diaphragm inside has a hole. A hole can make your pump turn on and off more then it needs to. With the pump turning on at about 40 psi and off at 65 psi. Your limit switch is a 40/60.
The air pressure in the tank needs to be 38 psi. You can only get the correct pressure when the pump is shut off and there is no pressure in the system. Adding more than 38 psi pressure does not give you more pressure in the system. It just makes your pump work harder.
The ultimate would be a irrigation well with a irrigation pump. And another well with a pump,pressure tank and limit switch for the house.
So if you use a tire gauge you can check the tank pressure but again there needs to be no pressure in the pipes. You can quickly let air out of your tank for a few seconds to see if you get any water out. If so it needs to be changed.

I'm having a hard time getting going today. Food's all ready to distribute to the tortoises, but here I sit.

Yesterday I started walking again. I started right back up with my 10 laps (which equal almost a mile).* Today will be pretty pleasant weather for the first day of summer. Hopefully I can stay with the program and walk every evening right after Jeopardy!. Well, every evening except for Tuesday. When I walk I don't get back in the house until after 8p, and NCIS starts at 8.

*I saw a little blurb on TV the other night showing a 100 year old woman competing in and winning a ribbon, some sort of race or marathon. Can you imagine? She's 103 now and still racing. I hope that's me in 20 more years.

Wow! I hope it is too

Gosh - getting your water is really complicated, I just turn on the tap and there it is!
Maybe I should appreciate and be grateful for our water systems a little more!!

I can't sleep!
My brain just won't switch off.
So I've come down for a cup of hot chocolate and here I am back in the CDR again.
I don't suppose looking at a screen just before bed will be helping much, but it's better than tossing and turning all night!

 

[Lyn W]

I've had a look at the forums and now I'm going to try to sleep again.
Nos Da (again!)

I’m hedging my bets on that pun!

I’m glad it went well. You’re going to find it hard after so long, especially as you have lost fitness.

Be prepared to extend the phased return to September if necessary

 

[JoesMum]

Good mornooning everyone. I hope you all have a great weekend. I will mostly be watching tennis on tv... and Toy Story 4 at the cinema

 

[CarolM]

Hello!! I hope everyone is doing well.

Hey, it is our long lost friend. How are you doing Kathy. I was just thinking about you and was wondering where you were.

 

[CarolM]

I had better go to bed - back to work tomorrow - thankfully a very short week for me.
I'll speak to you tomorrow evening - happy Friday everyone and Nos Da!

Good luck. I hope it went well.

 

[CarolM]

Well...is a deep subject. I love bees too! And all the shenanigans. The turtle vidio was adorable and it doesn't surprise me that doggys love music cause my wabbit gets po'd if the electric goes out. Where's the music or tv? What animal doesn't enjoy a shower now and then?...well

The hose on the sprayer head on the kitchen faucet wore out and started leaking. My wife bought a new one and we were installing it at 12 midnight View attachment 275148

You just don't get a break. But I suppose that has to do with the fact that your water has been off for a few days.

 

[CarolM]

Bottom left - an apple fritter, thats what I would choose!

I would probably choose either the one with the strawberry or the bottom right corner or the top left corner.

I bet you it will be.
