Is plastering over compression fittings a good idea?

The washer will hide most of it and the rest is behind a cupboard. I'm not too worried about making it look pretty.

Might put some pipe clips in tho'

I mean, I'm not plastering it, because it will be hidden behind shit.

That's actually a smart move, but not for the reason you've given... :D

I damn near filled my drawers a moment ago. Weather has been iffy all day, it rained a bit earlier & it's been alternating between T shirt weather & freezing my ass off.
Heard a strange noise & looked out the blinds the very moment lightning hit across the road at the college in the middle of the fairly impressive hailstorm (1/4in or so hailstones) so managed to get blinded, deafened & confused in the same nano-second.

Did transfers to and from GVA this morning. On my lunch break I've booked the bus to Heathrow after my short visit to the UK and the train from Lyon most of the way home! Luckily a colleague is coming to get me as that means I'll get back home before the train would actually leave Montmélian!!

In 40 mins I head off back to GVA!! Looking like I might have to miss physio which is a bit of a sod :(

The difference? - easy. You’ve turned a bollox into a larrups*. Or maybe the other way round - not sure which came first. Either way, I hope it doesn’t leak, much.

* Cornish word. In this case it means an unsuccessful attempt to improve on a bollox.

We went to a car boot sale, I bought three books at fifty pence each.
Visited my wife's father, then popped over to the other side of town to visit her sister, I had a fresh cream/jam scone and a vanilla slice, I was just being polite :lol: - but I suspect I will feel rough shortly from too much sugar.

This afternoon I might read in the garden and rue eating those cakes.

I managed my first outdoor laundry today too :lol:

Also went to the garden centre with Baby D to try and get stuff to replace all my eaten box hedge. Basically scatter gunned it, bought 20 or so little plants from the 'UK outdoor perennial hedge' section. Figured they've been living outside at the garden centre...they'll probably survive in my front garden.

Also bought a load of annual wildflower seeds. Every year I strim the lawn into oblivion around about this time of year and sow loads of flowers. By summer i have a proper butterfly habitat going...beats mowing every week :D

First cut of the year,
Today's sunny but chilly & it's forecast showers or rain all week so I decided to see if the lawn mower would fire up,to my surprise a couple of sniffs of carb cleaner & it fired up so the lawn got mowed.

Looks like I'll be finishing off the bathroom refurb the rest of the week,get that out of the way leaving lots of time for motorcycles :thumbup: ,

Went for a swim in the sea near Mallaig. Lovely clear bracing water.

Bled the brakes on my friends 990 adventure - finished sorting the decking ( rotting slowly but a coat of decking paint covers a multitude of sins) realised I should have taken up the offer of the loan of some loppers but there’s always next weekend
Short week this week and not working Saturday.

Used my new garden mulcher, it's brilliant!
We have a big garden with lots of trees and bushes, disposal of the bits is a nightmare. Woth my new toy I can mulch a decent sized tree in to a wheelie bin ! :thumbup:

Puppy-proofing the back garden, blocking small gaps under fencing, the side gate, and obstructing access under and behind one of the decks.

All being well, photos in the 'show us your pets' thread in two weeks ...
