Much, much, much cheaper than an 'emergency' hose replacement on a bank holiday. How would I know that?

Yep. Been done by that too. £50 for a hose.

Is it OK to feel wistful about a digger?

I miss my digger..... 

 

...and it's only 200m away in the shed.......

 

....maybe I should go out and say goodnight to it.....

There's one thing about diggers where I'm not wistful though....

 

The number of nipples she had.

 

More of them than a sow, fewer than a Labour Ward.

 

Some of them so hard to get to I needed to remove my hand to get access, and then spend ages trying to latch onto the slippery little thing. On successful connection, pump like Hell with my 'wrong' hand to get some grease in. And then realise I'd pumped all the grease I had. Rinse, repeat.

 

But she would always demand more. 

 

And the older she got, the sloppier the connection.

 

Good training for life eh?

Read in your local paper that there is a 250m exclusion zone around your local maternity ward. You anything to do with that.
