Repair and experiment!

As I am happy to wash the old fashioned way and not use the shower I decided to order one of the rubber hoses that can turn your taps into a mixer tap, if they still exist! As I find the hair washing easier in the shower rather that with a jug over the sink! Anyway a hose arrived yesterday but not designed to fit on modern taps, so the water pressure was pushing it off. I tried pushing it on harder and broke the plastic washer underneath the tap, so had a usable, but very wobbly tap! I walked up to the DIY shop this morning and on good advice didn’t buy a new washer but a tube of silicone that doesn’t go in a gun. With my wrists as they are I couldn’t get much through the nozzle and it didn’t work, so then just squeezed it out of the tube without the nozzle. So far so good, haven’t used the tap so that it can really set hard, but fingers crossed!

Tina got us a Ninja Max air fryer and some baking tins. No cake recipes in the small book supplied to I copied one out for a Madeira cake on line and this morning after getting a couple of ingredients made one. A little well done but like most things you have to get used to new appliances, but it tastes good so a positive start.

I checked the library times for today and it closed at 1.30 pm, so arranged with Jean to go and visit her a bit earlier after collecting my ordered book. By the sea so took pictures on the way to Jeans house.

I did about half an hour on the jigsaw, the jury is still out on whether it gets completed. I watered the plants that have almost expired under the trees, we did have some rain today, but not enough to make any difference.

Tina suggested we had fish and chips for tea and as it was a lovely evening we drove to the sea front chippie so that we could see the sea, glad we did. It was chilly so we brought the food home to eat it!

We had a brief power cut this evening but all will be well for All That Glitters on tv this evening,
