What are you all up to

Can you gently warm the cover up, just enough for it to expand slightly, and then you may be able to make it turn. Perhaps a little silicon spray on a tissue and then smeared over on the joint may also help.

We are the other side of Dartmoor Nellie..........and boy did it come down this afternoon! Cold night up here tonight. Lovely drive over Moor though, it brought back some nice memories. We used to ride out of Lydford Stables and up onto Moors proper, some great riding with a nice guide. The stables had some ex chasers, absolute so and so’s to saddle up, but a dream to ride. Those were the days......

Not really Nellie as the metal ring that the cover is screwed onto expands with the heat and makes the fit tighter.

Am going to try fairy liquid gently rubbed into the exceedingly small gap, but tomorrow as too tired now!

I suppose it depends on the shape. Perhaps a wet cloth (turn the power off first!) would allow you to get some grip. Or use the molegrips gently with the padding of the wet cloth in place. You only need it to budge a bit before being able to undo it by hand.

Let YouTube be your saviour WN, where it suggests warming the oven slightly to soften any grease.  I also see some makes have a gadget to do the job, but my own gadget lives and breathes....

Quite a frost this morning, the Hunters moon still in the western sky and streaks of horizontal cloud across the fields, should have had the camera out but staying in the warm....

It’s 1c here with wet snow/hail settling on the roof. So I’ll be sparking up the stove & having a duvet day until it abates. Let’s be careful out there(with thanks to ‘Hill street blues’)😊

Sorry Rocky, it was 4.3c at 9am this morning, glorious sunshine pouring into the conservatory now. I'm about to go out there and shorten 2 pairs of jeans. Hopefully still be nice later on for a walk. I need the daylight now to do sewing jobs so can't walk yet! Just done the accounts, bank slightly up on my balance 😁 nice surprise.

Took ourselves to St Albans yesterday, further than we thought 😲 but only an hour and a half. Trying to find parking was tough. Went to see Poppy Fields, which we saw on TV news when in Chipping Norton as the installation was in Christchurch Oxford, missed it as that was the last day 😤😤😤 but they said would be in St Albans 26 & 27th before going to Lichfield Cathedral for 11 November. Explored the cathedral and Abbey church, medieval and some of  Roman St Albans. Beautiful mosaic floor and hypocaust, through the window as closed at 3.45pm 😤😲. Very cold wind but bright and sunny. Sampled the delights of a Moroccan restaurant, very nice, before being 1st in the queue for the installation - most most unlike us!

We got there 6.45, open 7.30, we were hoping to wait inside but alas no. They did open the door soon after 7pm so not too long to wait. Very enjoyable and moving, glad we actually explored the cathedral first, as only installation lights and candles. Very effective. So glad we went early when we came out huge queues 😲😲. M25, we went A414 and very pretty it was with the autumn colours, was busier than we expected mostly 50 or 60 speed limits but no queues.

Enjoy your day folks.

Frosty start to the day,  but sunny so very enjoyable walk with the dog.

Just starting to wind down after a very stressful week at work, seriously considering a career change   Done a few household jobs this morning as OH at work, they were really short staffed so he was persuaded to work. I've finally got round to the housework that I've been putting off all week. 

The builders on the housing development next to our park have apparently been turfed off by the council, wondered why it had been quiet, and no building going on, not sure why,  will have to try and find out. 

Taking the caravan back to storage later, no trips now for a few weeks 

Enjoy the weekend, don't forget to put clocks back, to enjoy an extra hour in bed!  

Hope you recover from your not so good week Helen. I would enjoy the clocks going back and the extra hour but I fear grandson's 7am rising will now be 6am or worse! 

Good that you got to see the poppies B2.

Coming up to finalities with the family moving north so will just enjoy the last bit now.

Off to the theatre soon to our "free" show. The theatre gave away tickets to regular attendees, so it's a bonus afternoon out.
