Busy day yesterday, with a lot of walking around slowly in the open air at Ouseburn, so I was shattered last night.

But at least I good a relatively good night's sleep.

Another busy day ahead: Ferretfingers to/from Rising Sun and in between accompanying Thunderthighs to the Molieux Dental Centre to have his first treatment under gas and air.  I think it's fillings and I'm really not looking forward to it.

Later   

It wasn't treatment, it was yet another dentist having a look, explaining what would happen and filling and signing of forms.  But he is the dentist that is going to do the work!  

Which starts on Wednesday 17 August.

Miss Doozer  You make it sound like roadworks

Thundery rain yesterday and the downcomer feeding the waterbutt was blocked, water cascading out of the hopper above the bay windows and nothing into the waterbutt.

So out I went with the drain snake (blessing the memory of my father-in-law Tom), shoved it through the connecting pipe, got all but the last six inches in, pulled it back and WHOOSH the head of water had pushed through whatever I'd loosened and it came pouring in.

I'd tried the same thing a couple of times recently because the butt wasn't filling, but never when it was raining so it obviously needed a bit of pressure from above to dislodge it.

Came back in damp but satisfied.

Henlady  Hurrah!
