That's part of the therapy. Just don't understand why I have to wear pasties.

Bodge Failure...

We have a garden pond with a number of Koi, a legacy from one of my son's passing fads...
Koi produce a lot of sh*t so a pond filter is needed, and thus a pond pump.
The pump has been running slow of late, I have stripped it down and cleared it on a 3 weekly basis, until today, when it stopped.

Repeating the cleaning cycle achieved nothing, so I pulled the impeller off to get at the motor.
Top bearing totally shot, corroded.

So, £159.00 later.....a new pump.
So, Bodge Failure!

Bodge Nibble. Does that count?

Maria set about a new bread recipe. Cheese (Comte) and Jalapeno peppers in a sourdough mix.
It's all part of the COVID diet. After COVID I will need a serious diet.

You would get a good price for them on Farcebook Sales.
(possibly from a chip shop)

koi, like most freshwater fish, is almost tasteless, it is a carp, much loved in Eastern Europe.
But they are beautiful and have character.
