As I scoffed toast this morning I saw that someone had
commented on the photos I’d posted to the Dog Club’s Facebook page yesterday. “It
was my dog’s first time at dog club and he really had a great time and it was
lovely watching him playing with all his new friends will definitely be going
back”. That was good. Mind you the dogs usually have a great time at Dog
Club. Any issues (not that there are many) come from the people.
I also saw that today was my brother and sister in law’s
seventeenth wedding anniversary Seventeen years, eh? If asked I would have said
ten. But that’s why I keep a diary, I was at that wedding.
I also had an email from Amazon. A week or so ago I ordered
a hand-held pressure washer. When I came home last night I saw that it had
arrived. This morning Amazon had sent me an email saying that they had had no
notification that the thing had been shipped, and if they don’t get that in a
week then they will refund my money. I suppose I should tell them that it has
arrived.
Mind you, Amazon also thought that I might like their new
range of “Friends” T-shirts and hoodies. I absolutely loathe and detest
that show.
I had a quick Minz, got Wordle in four goes, then got
dressed and opened up my hand-held pressure washer. The instructions had
clearly been translated into English by someone who doesn’t speak English, but
after a little farting around I got it all together. To be honest it was a bit
of a disappointment, but I had taken the battery straight out of the packaging
so I put it on to charge, and then went shopping.
I thought I might get those sleepers I’d seen in B&Q.
However when I looked at those sleepers in B&Q they had a notice saying
that they’d been treated with biocides and weren’t suitable for use near ponds.
I came home and had a little look on-line to find that
pretty much every timber merchant is closed on a Sunday. So I voomed round the
garden with the Bionic Burner. That’s one garden tool which does work.
I made us both a cuppa, then seeing how the hand-held
pressure washer’s battery was charged I thought I might see if it worked any
better with a full charge.
It did.
Much better. Comparable to how well the existing pressure
washer works. However the little one has the advantage that because it operates
out of a bucket I have to go get more water regularly and this prompts me to
have a sweep up of all the dirty water. Without this prompt (as happens with
the existing pressure washer) I end up ankle deep in a filthy mire.
With
the garden washed we went round to see “My
Boy TM” and Cheryl. We sat in the sunshine scoffing barbecue
chicken.
Not
a bad way to spend the afternoon…
