Saturday 5th April

As foreshadowed yesterday, I straightened up a garden bed today. It was quite a job actually. Now it is all but finished, with only some steel strapping to go on the corners. This will keep the corners together. I would have finished completely if it had not been for the sewerage crisis.

The inlet pipe to the "Bio" treatment system clogged up for the second time in a fortnight. I managed to clear it with a combination of a plunger and a garden hose, even though their effect was marginal. Sheer persistence, and death threats to the unknown person who installed the system, eventually fixed it.

In further good news, our Pay TV box stopped working sometime today. There is no sign of life, no lights, no sound, no smell. It's just dead. It is not really worth our time to get a replacement, because we were going to cancel the service in about a fortnight anyway. The cancellation will be brought forward to Monday.

That's all for now, except a good night's sleep.
