Fixed?

If only it were that simple but ……….
They do say that two heads are better than one so…………………
Both John and Paul put their thinking caps on to deal with the offending eberspacher.  Yet again it was disassembled.  The suspected dodgy component was identified and given a thorough clean.  Parts re-assembled.  “Try it now”.  “Wr-wr-wr-scr-ee-ch, squ-ea-l, scr-ea-m, gr-in-d, gr-a-te ……………….  “Turn it off. turn it off.  No good.”
Now what?  Two pairs of eyes.  Two pairs of ears.  Two brain cells ………… sorry!  I mean brains!
Grease the bearings!  It’s too clean and dry!!
Now – try again.
Whr-whr-whr-whir-whirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Sounding good!  Hot radiators.  Hot water.  Hooray!
The Next Morning………………
Eberspacher set to come on at 7.40am.  7.35am – anticipation mounting.  7.38am – high tension.  7.40am – a buttock clenching moment!
Whirr-irr-irr-irrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr  Exhale.  Great stuff.  Showers and hair washes?  No problem!
So here endeth today’s episode – we’ll see what happens tomorrow!

Saturday 22nd October  Vast numbers of hire boats have been whizzing past us today moored here at Onley. Half term has clearly arrived! The speediest boats definitely come out of Willow Wren being crewed by either a large groups of young girls (they don’t go too fast!) or a large group of young guys (they do!!) or a large group of mixed gender youngsters (they do too!)  We need some means of retaliation!  We get the feeling that the owners of Willow Wren are only interested in taking the money and give insufficient guidance (if any) to their hirers.
Strictly’s on …………… I’m off!
