They’d never find it - the lid is hidden in an obscure part of the garden over 40m from the road. Of no matter now, 'cos 'tis all done - 6 years of my shit and wank is on its way to a local beauty spot…

6 years! When we bought the house we were told that our sceptic tank was an extra large one, but I thought I’d need to get it emptied every 18 months. BTW - I haven’t managed to find the lid yet either, luckily the builder / farmer next door know where it is.
This fucker is enormous, I have rented smaller rooms.
Also worse ones…
You may have some luck locating yours by chucking lighted matches into any small apertures you may find about the place: you’ll know when you’ve got the right one…
Good description of the 'toir - though newbies should beware the septic sceptic

Literally different day, same etc. etc…
To Plymouth with Harry for a talk about the construction & operation of the Tamar rail & road bridges.
Followed by a visit to The Box, Plymouth’s revamped City museum which has Nat History, Science, Broadcast Tech, naval history and various other displays.
I also wanted to see a multi screen video presentation they’re running called Arcadia by John Akomfrah which was very impressive.
and all free of charge.

My tech guy came today and biased my amp for the quad of NOS Brimar 6L6GCs that arrived last week. It was all very straightforward.
Having replaced the JJ ECC82s last week with NOS Mullards, the amp now has a full set of NOS valves. Must say it sounds lovely.

Today was my lucky day, a roofing company actually turned up and carried out some relatively simple but important repair work at our property. (New under boards and reseating end tiles on fresh morter.)
Its only taken 6 weeks of messing around this time. For Oxford thats really good going, pretty much any job less than £5k isnt worth getting out of bed for.

Hours spent today swapping the living room rack with the dining room rack. Living room system up and running again and sounding great cos it’s now shiny and dust free.
Part two tomorrow with the dining room system.
It’s quite therapeutic in a slightly annoying but satisfying way. 
Haha! This reminds me of when you bought that video recorder remote control as it was a bargain.
Then you were just waiting in anticipation of someone selling the video recorder.
Still raises a smile years later!

Enduring a power cut since midday. Camping stove managed the dinner duties and now candles and oil lamps are on. Last new set of batteries in the radio and hoping they’ll last until I can get more.
The cavalry have been here for a few hours and are working on a fix, including some impressive shinning up the pole!
Last but one message from SSEN reckoned it should be back on by 6pm but that’s now been updated to 9pm 
At least Vodafone 4G is working, hence being able to post this!
