I'll borrow that 4ma, if I may. No longer will I be "sat on my lazy backside, doing nothing but drinking coffee", I will in fact be "re-wilding the garden". The two activities may look identical to the untrained observer, but the cognoscenti will know.

Monitoring a friends EJ flight from Bodrum to LGW. Amazing how far north they flew to avoid French airspace. Crossed channel west into the Thames Estuary, turned south west.

MARELLA DISCOVERY 2 has just passed the square window, destination PMI.

Meanwhile I am having a nosebleed in celebration.

[Hydromet]

Cloudy with a bit of sun at present, but rain forecast later. Currently 19c, forecast max 23c. Workshop day today I think.

[OFSO]

Clear skies, cool, wind no longer thudding into the house.

[Ibbie]

Morning folks.
Presently 11c with a high of 21c this afternoon, clear sky.

Feels cooler.

[OFSO]

Wind is back.

Morning folks, Yet another very nice day for our guest who is leaving for Vic Falls via JNB today. We will see her again in two weeks on Amorgos where she lives.

Ran out of water this morning. Our night guard arrives with a big bag. We are sure that he has a towel and soap in there and has long hot showers. Don't know how to stop it.

Looking forward to read the suggestions here.

RiS I was considering rigging it up to the electrics but too much paperwork with a dead body in your shower. Or I might forget to turn it off and have a shower myself. There are a lot of stop cocks in the shower but he will probably work it out. There is a stop cock on the solar geyser which he may not know about. I think that I will try that.

You could put a smart irrigation timer valve in the supply to your shower.

Move somewhere where you don't need guards?

Good Morning All,
20c BlueSoothsayer 22c.
Not an optimum chemtrail day.
Feeling awful, gone 02.30 when the nosebleed stopped, Henry wanted to play ball at 08.00.

One dislikes Monday as it is market day.

[Rwy in Sight]

A wifi controlled system locked on your phone?

[Ex-Ascot]

To be perfectly honest we do not need guards here. But after Mrs Ex-Ascot was so badly beaten up she is happier with a guard outside. I am going to go with switching the solar geyser off and ice cubes in the water tank.

Had to don the ovvies today as it was bilge cleaning day on our workboat as part of its out-of-the-water maintenance. Yaaagh! Loads of oily/greasy covered cr@p in the nether regions of the engine room - don't think the bilges have been cleaned in donkeys years. To think that some folk had to do this in big ships as part of their job.

[llondel]

Wind is back.

Bean curry last night?

[1DC]

Bigger bilges on the big ships too 4ma!

[OFSO]

No bean curry, but over-consumption of Madames delicious apple juice and ginger yesterday evening had a massive diuretic effect all night.

My late parents had a similar issue in Ghana many years ago when I was a baby. It was cured by having one of the chiefs place a JuJu stick on the water tank----I have the stick to this day, it is at home and I am in my office, but will take a picture tonight and post it.

Incidentally, my father told me of an issue at GAF Takoradi where supplies were going missing from one of the offices rooms. One of his Warrant Officers at the time had a glass eye, which he would then remove and leave on a desk overnight. He would put his spare back in once he left the building. The thefts stopped.
