Well after the blue sky and white fluffy clouds earlier, it was all downhill from about 0930. It has not stopped raining since and at the moment it is bucketing down and is so very dark. I had intending taking some books back to the charity lady and posting a birthday card but I am not going out in this. |

Well so much for my good day. He did the mower that pulls the trailer and used the newer one to cut the grass and half way through the west lawn he managed to lose the belt that drives the brushes which then pick up the cuttings. He found the belt (broken) and then found that the bearing on the end of the brushes had sheared off so now the younger mower dos'nt work. It drives and cuts but dos'nt pick up so now he has to get a new bit for that and a new belt. |

Thank you for the extra info on the auto setting and it does sound useful Vera so I will check if the model I fancy has it. It is a good idea to cook your casserole in bulk like that. I want to get into the habit of doing some things too as it saves so much work and thinking what to eat on future occasions and is much more economical. I hot up portions of frozen cooked mince with veg in the microwave and you can have a meal ready in no time. OH will peel any root veg which helps too. |

Not sure, he is off making money but if he did I don't think it would make things any worse.He might just be strong enough to get us out of this mess. I can't think anyone else will manage they just go round in circles and if they don't get their own way they throw their toys out of the pram and leave. |

Do you think Boris will throw his hat back in the ring? |

Yes no surprise as you say Ann. What a mess it all is. |

Still very grey and very, very wet. It’s just falling out of the sky at the moment. |

Inevitable wasn't it? Just really not up to the part of the job that meant taking on all the bitchiness. How can anyone do their job in the face of all that I wonder? |

Of course as you rightly say AnnG, using a smart plug would likely mean it would be on a timer. Mel's OH was a whizz with setting things up on Alexa so may even have had voice control on the smart plug. It's good you have got it all working again Mel and it must be a weight off your mind. |

surely Mel if the smart plug was in it would only have worked at the times set for the plug so a good move to remove it. I have done the same here as I have not a clue how to access any instructions given by T. |

Just thought I'd check on google. I don't think my slow cooker is made any more. You can tell how old it is - ebay have several used ones and they are advertised as Vintage. They seem to be going for about £40 but none of them have the auto setting like mine. I'd better take care not to damage mine as I clearly won't be able to replace it with one the same. |
