I used to get ham hocks, when Steve Hirst had the butchers on Newtown, and made pea and ham soup. Not done that in a while so might have to revive it. I did have to initially simmer the hocks for about 20 minutes, drain off the water and then start the simmering process again. It reduced the saltine...

The PIR carriage lamp outside my back door has decided to stop 'sensing'. The usual reset procedures haven't resolved the issue so it's time to get a new one, I would have needed to move it anyway to suit the new French doors that are going in in the next few weeks. I've ordered a replacement from S...

Aye, that's the one.

I smile when I read about fibre to premises. I had this fitted at my previous house free of charge by NTL (National Transcommunication Ltd) on a speculative basis, and offering mainly more TV I think. The interweb was in its infancy, though I recall an NTL email address. It must have been over twen...

Had the 'full dismantle' boiler service this morning. It also needed a double check valve, for the filling loop, as it should have had one at installation (2017). £70 all in.
