After getting involved in money laundering. Couldn't find my wallet this morning. I was throwing wet clothes into machine last night when phone rang. Never emptied pants pockets. Eventually found it after emptying machine. €50 note, cheque for €800 three bank cards and a few receipts. Cheque from neighbour so no problem there. I suppose cards would be o.k..

I accidently washed my father's pension book long time ago. Such a job - we carefully peeled the pages apart in front of the fire and managed to dry it enough to use. Woman in the Post Office got great amusement over it. I think she must have told everyone that came in after me. Money is handy enough to rescue as long as you don't handle it until it is nearly dry.

It had a chequered history until the two that are running it now arrived, don't know what the set up is, but they built it up from less than nothing after the recession
And as you say, lovely food

Forecast Update _ Friday 14 December, 2018 _ 8 p.m.
______________________________________________

A complex storm system is approaching Ireland tonight and will bring heavy rainfalls to most of the country from around midnight to late Saturday. Totals of 30 to 50 mm rainfall possible, heaviest expected to be roughly Cork-Kerry to Limerick-Clare to Athlone-Sligo into Ulster but other pockets of locally similar totals in west Connacht and locally around higher terrain in the southeast. Some river flooding may develop, but the greater concern would be for poor driving conditions at times on major routes due to surface water accumulations and hydroplaning potential. Would avoid longer distance travel on Saturday if possible, or exercise extreme caution due to these conditions. Road spray combined with some strong wind gusts could be a hazard also. As to strong winds with this storm, they will certainly develop around its southern flanks but there is some question as to whether those very strong gusts will hit any portions of the Irish coastline or swing around more towards south Wales which is definitely going to get hit hard with gusts to 140 km/hr possible. Personally I would avoid any ferry crossings tomorrow if possible even if they go ahead. Rough seas and difficult docking on the Welsh side in particular can be expected. The morning update may allow for more precision about wind potential in Ireland but I think the best idea at this point is to expect some risk of strong to damaging wind gusts with the southwest to southeast coastal areas most at risk. The stronger winds with this complex system appear to be following behind the low pressure rather than ahead of it as is often the case, which means that the strongest gusts would be from a westerly direction towards late afternoon and evening, but if it were to strengthen rapidly then very strong south winds could develop at the same time ahead of the trough (as I am expecting will be the case for south Wales).

Expect some chance of this being upgraded to an orange alert in some parts of Ireland, perhaps more for the rain than the wind potential, but it will definitely reach that status in Wales where I believe it already has that warning in place from the UK Met Office.

Normally put the drums into the bucket of the digger here and then I pour them in, it's the turning the drum upside down is the messy bit. Hate running out of heating oil

Look for the Castrol oil drums. They have a breather in the handle that allows air in as your pour. No need to turn it. They are hard found tho

Christmas tree in situ,

a life long friend passed away a couple of months ago after a long battle with a very bad form of dementia, I spent many hours by her bedside with the family in the final couple of weeks.

Her daughter gave me a lovely angel ornament for the tree top and said " Mam will be watching over & celebrating with you"

thought it was a nice touch

If filling drums at pump yourself, only 3/4 fill.

When filling tank, use a large funnel. Lay drum on its side on top of the tank with cap towards top. Will stop the spurting as air can get into drum.

Getting the can up to that step is pure hardship! There are 12V fuel pumps that can be got for reasonable money, well worth it.

Local shop sells drums of kerosene. Does a great trade in them. Often wondered what system the people who use them have for putting them in the tank, or Could you just feed the boiler direct from the drum like the detergent on the milk tank?

There’s a rig for running on drums but it costs €250.

Three local empty properties cleared over last week. Copper, rads, a new kitchen, appliances, heating, wiring.

These short days suit scumbags and thieves by giving so much cover.

Yea.
I know a house where they cut the copper stubs for the rads level with the floor, every floor had to be ripped up. More effort for them than the wee bits of copper was worth.
