So where flow rates are important people tend to use imperial for consistancy, and there was me thinking it was just because most of it was made in the States.
This makes aquarium plumbing a right PITA.

Edit:I probably still don't have that right.
All the plumbing stuff here is made in China...

Fixed a bastard leccy problem.
Our sparky wired up the garden lights to 2 timers.
1 triggered at twilight. The second he wired in a Sonoff thingy that attached to our WiFi so can set off time and override if needed.

It all stopped working after power cut 2 weeks ago.
He's moved to Spain so can't help.
Loads of wires and not a clue.
Took the router outside next to unit. Nada. Powered house off and on and waited overnight to see if it all kicked in.
Farted about for a week.

Took the router from top floor out to try. Woo hoo.
Sparky had paired that one. Not the one which was nearest (apartment)

Swam 600m today. Not bad for first time in a big pool in 5 years.
Aimed for 400 but kept going.
Had to stop at 600m as eyes hurting. Bloody agony now :(

Walked the dog. She was much happier and more herself again, which is a big relief. At least she has bounced back, my recovery is taking a bit longer!

Totally killed the lawnmower - after about 2 hrs of continual use it seized up. Not good as only about 4 years old :thumbdown:

Looked at a house we both liked the look of on Rightmove and hard a long hard think about moving.
Went to Epping on the CBR which ran faultlessly then played up on the way home - Plug change and a visit to FWR if that doesn’t sort it (grumbly misfire coming and going).

The loft of plenty delivers! 😎 Went up looking for my Alpinestar ankle boots but found this instead! I’m planning on valeting the camper to try and sell it and need this but had completely forgotten I’d bought it!!

Only if it sells. I'll put it up for top money and if it goes, i'll get another. The layout of this one doesn't really suit us now we take the dogs and not the leccy bicycles, so we'd just like something with more lounge room.
