Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

oLHjW9E.jpg

I broke down and bought a water heater yesterday. It was the dishwasher, of all things, that tipped me over the line. I'd suddenly thought I should run the dishwasher so the seals don't dry out, which may or may not be a real concern. I started it and wondered what damage I was doing it if it were to suck more water than was in the tank, maybe a plausible concern. Anyway, I bought a water heater yesterday and it was installed yesterday and seems to be working. I'd been balking at the cost of the heater itself, which of course was silly, because installation + permit cost a lot more.
But I have 18 months special financing to pay for it, which was the other thing that tipped me over the line.
I'll run the dishwasher after breakfast. 🤞
I've also put more salt in the water softener and plugged that back in and fiddled with the buttons.🤞

As always, I'm surprised that installers leave the doors wide open for mice and squirrels. I didn't explain why I was standing there with a stick every time they went by; I'm sure everybody does it.

Suddenly the highs are in the low seventies. No complaints there.

Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone is doing well, and that your week is off to a good start. Here, yesterday was what is called a 'Bank Holiday Monday', and the main day of my local West Indian Carnival (the oldest in Europe). Not that I didn't have to do any work (I really need to plan better next year) :rolleyes: The weather was gorgeous, and I decided to go out about 11.30am, have a walk down to Charlie's, and see what was occurring ;) I was surprised that even at that relatively early hour, the streets were starting to get busy, but there was a nice atmosphere.

Down at Charlie's, I had a couple of cups of coffee, and some avocado on toast, and chatted to a friend I haven't seen in a while. Matt had gone out to buy a few things, and called in, and I went back home with him for half an hour. They were going up to the park to see the Carnival Parade set off, but I decided to nip back home for an hour. I had just got in, when I had some work got in, which filled my hour.

I walked back down to Matt's, taking some beers with me. It was busy now, but folks kept on coming. We took some nice comfortable chairs from Matt's to our usual Carnival spot, and set up to wait for the parade to arrive, with the friends we see there every year. The weather was perfect, and the parade a lot of fun. We sat around drinking beer, and people watching.

Later, I had to go home to write another press-release, and after getting that done, I went back to find everyone still in the same spot. We sat there until it was starting to get dark, and time for the kids to go to bed. Then me and Matt, set off with my near neighbour, Jason, and his new girlfriend, to explore a bit. The streets were packed now, and we slipped into a house party for a cold Guinness. After that, Matt decided he was going home, and we walked back to the main road, where the crowds were densely packed. Matt headed off, and the rest of us slowly made our way back up the hill, with Jason and his girlfriend going to one of our local bars, and me choosing not to play gooseberry, and heading home myself, having numerous friendly encounters with strangers along the way.

I was in bed by 10.30pm, but it was noisy outside, and I got woken up at 1.30am, only to find I had the missing info for yet another press-release. So I got out of bed, and took care of that!

It's been a good summer here, and the third Carnival in a row, where we've had good weather. The youngsters will have been dancing all night, but things are usually looking spick and span again by mid morning. I only took a few pics on my phone, but you get the idea ;) :thumbsup:

Good morning Guardians! Still storming here, so I'll most likely do some reloading today. Roper is riding the RFP.

Thank you my friend, I think it has been a tonic for all of us :) :thumbsup:
 
I walked down to Charlie's, in bright sunshine, but the cafe was closed, as I suspected it would be. Hisham, and all the staff, and those he drafted in, worked really hard over the weekend, and they were still open when I went past about 9.30pm last night. I caught a bus up to the yuppie place a mile up the road, and had 3 pancakes, 3 rashers of bacon, a stingy serving of maple syrup, and 2 mediocre coffees, which cost me £25 :rolleyes: I called round at Matt's, as I had something for the kids, and had left a bag round there yesterday. They were planning a lazy day. It was quiet in the area, and the clean-up on the main road has been reasonable, less so on the side streets. Hopefully a few local folk made a bit of extra cash, along with the carpet-baggers ;) I reckon I will have some work later, but it hasn't come in yet :thumbsup:
