        Aloha everyone,

        @moyra I wish you better :grphg:

        When the day has warmed up a bit I shall get out there and get on with removing the beans. I picked the last 5lbs yesterday and there would only be a small amount to go so I can't waste time with them. Too much work to get done. :noidea:

        I shall intersperse that work with lots of cuppas and feet up sessions. :snorky:

        Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

        Aloha!

                Aloha everyone,

                Yes, Sunday seems to have disappeared :scratch: :heehee:

                I finished removing the bean plants and stacking the canes etc. It took three or four hours on Saturday. Sunday I managed to do some conifer hedge cutting and some digging - @moyra I didn't do more than an hour at a time :pathd:

                Yesterday morning, at 4 a.m., I peeled and cooked about 20lb (I think) of apples. They've been cooled down, packaged, put in the fridge and then put into the freezer at 4 a.m. today. I then did another load, but not as many, at the same time today.

                Our boiler has packed up so no heating and no hot water at the moment. As we keep the house quite warm this is not good for us. Mrs Shiney also has patients coming so it can be a problem at times. She hasn't any coming today :phew: :) but tomorrow she has someone for a body massage :rolleyespink:

                I phoned our heating engineer earlier this morning but could only leave a message. He has just phoned back, whilst I was typing this, and said he'll be along at 2 p.m. :hapydancsmil: He's very good, we don't have any sort of contract with him but he has been servicing our boiler every year for nearly thirty years.

                I'll do some more digging/weeding today but shall wrap up warm as it's a bit chilly out there - but nice and sunny.

                Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

                Aloha!

                  Aloha everyone,

                  Engineer turned up, fan motor kaput! I've taken it to an engineering firm who will refurbish it for £200 less than a new one. So a few days without heat. Lounge, kitchen and bathroom some alternative heating :blue thumb:. Summerhouse is self-contained with separate heating and hot water, so Mrs Shiney will work in there.

                  I switched on the emergency immersion heater in the hot water cylinder and after a few hours it blew the main fuse :doh: I unplugged the immersion and power is back on and electrician friend is coming after we've finished playing bridge at the club. He seems to think we are likely to need a new immersion - existing one has only been used about three times in all the years it has been in there. :sad:

                  Reminds me of Flanders and Swann's The Gasman Cometh!

                  Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

                  Aloha!

                            A tad cold here but it will soon be warmer.

                            Shopping to do, which should warm me up. :)

                            Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

                                Aloha everyone,

                                A bit nippy this morning.

                                Boiler was fixed yesterday afternoon, worked well for eight hours and then stopped again, not the same problem. I tried the usual 'switch off, wait a while and switch on' - no go and no lights showing on boiler! So switched off. Tried again at 3 a.m. - Nothing. Saw some lights on at 6.45 so switched on and is working - 7 a.m. and all rads hot. :fingers crossed:

                                Omar, the engineer, goes on holiday today :hate-shocked:

                                We have a busy day today. We've been invited to a coffee morning at our travel agent (morning run by Saga :old: :heehee:) and we're supporting the agent as they work well for us.

                                This afternoon I have to go to Barry to read some documents he has received from the DWP saying they have found out they have been underpaying him and have put 11k into his bank account (Barry checked and it's in there :rolleyespink:). It's not as good as it seems and I shall need to do some checking on whether they can guarantee they won't ask for it back (I know someone that it happened to). If it's OK then there are other problems. His savings will be over the limit and he will lose his housing benefit and I need to check whether he will also lose other benefits. If so, then in a year or so, his savings will be back down to needing the benefits back and it's not easy to get them sorted out nowadays.

                                This evening I have a meeting :phew:

                                Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

                                Aloha!
