Smelly Day

Off today, managed to fix the bike. Usual wiring problem so spent some some time checking over the wiring and found a couple of potential problems. In the process of working on the bike discovered the drain outside was over flowing. The next door neighbour was also having problems. For those that don't know we live in a  house built around 1870, the drains therefore are 'intersting'. The drains of all four houses end up in the same drain in another neighbours courtyard. So the afternoon was spent trying to unblock this. Tried drain rods but to no avail, in the end I managed to get a hosepipe up the drain and blast the obstruction out. Despite a shower and washing all my clothes I can still smell the result!! Working for  four hours tomorrow and then off until Tuesday.
