Not very chilled out tonight, got in from work to find water running out of the downstairs ceilings, apparently my cistern decided it wanted to be 2 half cisterns after all these years and has been oozing H2O for an unknown length of time. I’ve turned the water & electricity off & abandoned ship

Now IS the time to choose a respectable burg. Hopefully it will be like dealing with an average 75 with a leak, and normal service resumes soon. |

I think there’ll be lots of dehumidifying, replastering & new flooring to do, I think the worst of the furniture damage is my sofa which is wetter than a 75 carpet. I’ve already set the wheels in motion with the insurance company

Morning everyone.
Grey but with the sun trying to break through. We did have a huge hailstorm yesterday. But sun shone throughout the storm. Off to collect the Bear this morning.

Morning all, hope things get sorted for you Colin, it’s bad enough having damp rovers never mind somewhere damp to come home to when you knock off!

That’s a bugger Col, I can recommend someone who does fire and flood restoration work on carpets if you need it. Not me ,I’m just a carpet cleaner,,but this bloke specialises in that kind of work.

I have been trying to get in touch with a certain local member who said he would come with me, text and pm sent, but no contact yet. Just need a second opinion before I sign on the dotted.

Thank you Steve for the crabbing update. With your special insight, it’s fascinating to read through it and see everything..... I have just flown from Nairobi to London, changing planes in Addis Ababa on Ethiopian Airlines. Ethiopian Airlines still flies to and from China via Addis. On the flight from Nairobi to Addis a Boeing 737-800, a local got onto the plane, a large man carrying 3 laundry bags and he was having a problem placing them into the overhead bins as they were quite large and were slightly too big. The man came beside me, with a terrible smell of rancid body odour. I was in an aisle seat. As he was trying to stuff his bags into the full overhead bins, he was sweating profusely and sprayed his perspiration over myself and some of the other passengers who complained, shouting “Get off” !! Fortunately for us he was upgraded from economy and moved into business class. His sweat had dropped onto my hands and arms. Yuck and horrors! When I complained to the cabin stewardess, I was taken to the toilet and told to wash.... and when I came out, the stewardess gave me large dollops of disinfectant cream to apply to my hands and arms. I touched the toilet door handles, using paper towels to open and close the doors. (Does anyone else do this?) It was a heavy landing, the 737 came in “hot” and fast..... In Addis Ababa when I went into the transit terminal, all the staff were wearing gloves and masks. I had to go into the men’s toilet to have a slash and I found a group of men looking as though they had just arrived from China, queuing up for the urinal stalls and the lockup’s. Some of them were wearing masks and some were not. I did not hang around and left. I thought I will have to hold it in. The flight to London was on a new Airbus A350. Lovely with mood lighting and plenty of leg room, the plane was half empty, a flight of 8 hours. On arrival in terminal 2 at Heathrow, there was no screening, no temp checks and no one was wearing masks or gloves. That was 3 days ago. I didn’t see anyone with any symptoms or hear any coughing. 2 days ago, I had the scan in London and the technician doing the scan, a vascular scientist gave me the results straight away. The Aortic Aneurysm has grown to 4.5 cm. In Nairobi they said it was 5.2 cm and at 5.5 cm it has to be repaired with a graft. So relief I don’t have to go under the knife. He said I am to be rescanned in 6 months time. I am philosophical about it and don’t complain, as there are others worse off or they are not in a position to have a second chance. I have to wait to have the results confirmed by the surgeon when I see him on 5 March Last edited by Gate Keeper; 21st February 2020 at 10:17.. |
