What have you done today thread?

Sounds like something, as you say, clogging the valley. Water backs up and gets under if the valley is tiled, usually made worse if the wind is driving in from a particular direction. Basically the water gets pushed uphill on a system designed for it to go downhill. Once inside it runs downhill again and appears at the house wall/window/ceiling edge.

(Been there, got the T-shirt as a result of moss on part of a roof under a tree canopy).

Took the Tiger for its MOT and sat in the cafe, like an expectant father, nursing a latte...

I am now the proud parent of a 12 month MOT with no advisories. MOT and bike are doing well.

Mucho grassy ass. I wish I could actually get up on the roof, but this buggered wrist is making things difficult. Next rain isn't due until Saturday night & it was dry today. Gonna do what I can tomorrow.
Today's run to Urgent Care pretty much blew out the entire day. FFS

Today: lost/misplaced my frigging ticket for tonight's $940Million lottery draw.

However, not only didn't I win, but neither did any other bugger. $1.1Billion for Tuesday's draw. I think I could scrape by, even though it's a only measly $350M if you take the cash & then pay Fed taxes on it.

Can you get a view of the valley/gulley from anywhere ie with binoculars? Know anyone with a drone?

[Pirahna]

Just been given a crate of grapes. It's the leftovers from the harvest and too small to sell to the supermarkets, homemade raisins I think. They're very tasty.

[Taipan]

Brought my campervan home! Its currently on a SORN, but I'm a law breaker and stuck to fingers up to the man!

[David]

Aaaaah....I'm tellin'.

Just hope you didn't pass any ANPR cameras.
I confess to testing uninsured bikes loacally (though there are very few rural ANPR@S in rural Wales). Might have to be a bit more circumspect now we are in the metrolopis of N. Somerset.

Had a poke about up there this morning. There was a big pile of dirt/debris in that triangle shaped gap to the right of the flashing. Dug that out, sprayed water on the roof, got good flow into the gutter. Cleaned out more dirt further up.







Can't get on the roof with this buggered wrist. Could if I had a 12ft step ladder

Put brick under each corner of your steps. Remember and record it though

Funny day.

Pal A was cycling past so popped in for a cuppa. He has Husky TE300i

Pal B pops round on his mega fancy leccy MTB cycle to ask to test my new GasGas. He sold his Husky TE300i to Pal A 6 months ago.

Pal A drooling over Pal B's cycle.

Pal B takes GasGas round the volcano.
Pal B takes leccy bike up the volcano.

Both come back giggling.

Pal A is buying a leccy bike.
Pal B is buying a GasGas.

I'm buying nowt
