snow in October!

Friday, October 31st, 2008

It snowed the other night - nearly an inch so in the morning I took Cleo and Finn out for a run in the fields. They loved it but still they get too hot and that was at 2 degrees C.  I got some photos so I’ll add those later..

The wormery is indoors now

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

Its too cold now for the wormery to live outside, the worms were becoming very sluggish. The wheelie bin is half full and there are millions of worms of all different sizes. And the bin is filling up with what looks to be lovely compost.

I have cured the problem of fruit flies by covering the top of the bin with a sheet of old mosquito netting fastened with elastic. Just need something to keep the compost smell in next !

new job for Tim..

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

I am being either brave or really foolish changing to a new job in the current economic state. Its one of those things you have to do when you find yourself thinking about it. I am going to join Matt working in the Quality office which is a part of Sun’s Engineering organisation. Its farewell to Customer Services after many many years and off to a group that do reactive work for hot customer issues and proactive work trying to make things better. Starting date is Thursday….

solution to the ford galaxy hiccups.

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

It started several months ago as just the occasional cough, then it started to happen every time I went up the steep beacon hill near church crookham, then once it started it began to continue on 3 cylinders until I stopped and restarted the bus ( and then the door led flashed for several minutes).

I took it into the Ford garage and they wired it up and spotted cyclinder 1’s fuel injector was not working once the car was hot.

900 pounds ( included the 1 week car hire from the very nice folks at 1car1.com) later normality is resumed - I just hope the other 3 don’t go the same way…

Anglian double glazing.

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

So they agree that the window cracked due to heat buildup between the cushion and the window. But their customer services folks were adamant that that was my fault even though the documentation doesn’t say “dont put soft things near the window”. Clearly a case of unfit for purpose.. But the sad thing is without taking them to court there is nothing I can do other than this… So I paid for another company to replace the window.

Now who shall I get a quote for my new conservatory from ??? damn right not ANGLIAN…
