Boiler Trouble.

It looked a bit more wintry today with a solid grey sky but here it has been relatively mild again and the rain held off until late afternoon.

Once again my afternoon was spent on my knees grubbing out buttercup roots. Once I neared the corner of the plot I combined several jobs. The weeding continued with bramble and nettle roots put to one side, the stony soil at the very steep corner was removed and put a bucket at a time, into the hole left when I dug up the yew stump. I intend to make a lower level along the end of the plot which will be planted with spare plants from around the garden so that the veg plot can be made less sloping.

Later on when I turned on the central heating I noticed that the boiler was making a new buzzing? sound. Peter decided that we needed to top up the water in the system which involves passing the garden hose in through the kitchen window, across the kitchen and into the back room. Naturally our hose has a leak in the middle which although wrapped with gaffa tape left a puddle on the kitchen floor. Puddles have been mopped up, the water topped up and the noise comes and goes. Peter thinks it's the boiler fan and anyway it's time to get the boiler serviced.
