The joys of DIY everything

[Phil]

Go to the plumbing section in B&Q. They sell drain cleaner in yellow plastic bottles that will do the business. Just be careful with it.

Unfortunately normal drain cleaners have had very little effect - it has been a bother for many years, and it was a tip on a TV cleaning program 'How clean is your house' which made me try again - I had thought that complete removal of the entire thing was the only solution, as the drain has been almost totally blocked for months.

The blockage seems to have been broken down completely - half a scoop of biological washing powder in a jug of hot water, and now I have no excuse not to wash up after every meal.

The hospital has given the DH a most satisfactory outcome for his double cataract surgery, which has been obvious due to his ability to see the cobwebs recently, so it looks as though more housework is necessary. Strange how that always seems to happen.

The kilts I wore yesterday appear to be none the worse for their experiences, so it is all systems go for the Sidmouth Folk festival starting this Friday.

I shall take the camera and spare batteries in order to snap any passing kilts which turn up.
