I've upgraded my power washer and now it's even more fun. I had the basic Karcher K2 model and it's OK for the small space I've been using it in, but I wanted more control to do less robust surfaces like glass and wood, so I bought a K5 yesterday. It's a bit more powerful and has four pressure settings including one very soft one for mixing detergent. With the old one I had to stick a tube from the machine into the detergent bottle, which means you have to pick the bottle up and carry it every time you move the machine. With this new one the detergent bottle goes in a slot on top of the machine so the game is even more of a doddle than it already was.

I've just done my roof with a solution that's supposed to kill moss and inhibit growth so I'm keen to see how well that works.
I also did my wooden bench. Mistake: On reflection I liked it better when it looked old.

Dead - Deserved - Tough shit

Do you agree?

The Fenians are at it again - Bloody terrorists - Wonder if the US is funding them again.

The long and the SHORT, a cofferdam is the best way to get this STERLING work done.

Do you agree?

Anything at all to do with the Sea, Sea creatures/monsters, Ships, and/or Sailing. Have fun.

Sea Fever
By John Masefield

I must down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.

I must down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.

I must down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.
