The traffic holdups on the A66 and M6 delaying our trip up to St Andrews by nearly 3 hours in total.

Diesel in Australia now at $2.89 per litre, since our Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has raised the cash rate to 4.60%, are going to hit our Aussie very hard on pretty much everything.

I recall in the mid '80's applying Kevlar grunch pads to my white water canoe. The instructions specified Sarah Wrap.

Why would they want Sarah to wrap grunch pads to your white water canoe?

The Kevlar needs to be smoothed out once applied. Once cured, the plastic is easily removed.

Discovering that the twine holding back a bush that lives against a wall, was broken and the hedge, which is almost 6ft high and about 10ft long, was flopped down almost flat. Probably happened when the heating oil was delivered while we were away,

Fixed after drilling and plugging two holes into which I screwed to L shaped hooks and then tied plastic ‘string’ to the fence, then round the hooks pulling tight and tying up.

Not a fun job but with Mrs P’s assistance it was done.

Seem to have reacted to yesterday’s Covid jab. Feel crap, ache, temperature, etc. Reported to quack but say just normal.

Ho hum.

Six years ago I had a new bathroom fitted, I worried about the quality of the bath and sink taps even then, well, they haven't lasted. A bath tap was dripping, took the top off to get to the valve and it was full of cream mud and bits of metal, cleaned it up but the nut holding the valve in place was seized solid.

People tell me that there are no quality taps with brass workings any more, which is a crying shame. I don't mind having to find the money for new taps I just get cheesed off when the product doesn't last.

Contractors coming on thursday to have a look and give me some ideas.
