2026
Finally sat down about 7:30 expecting Jamie back around 8 so got the fire roaring up the chimney and put YouTube on while I waited…
Ended up watching it until gone 9 when Jamie finally appeared with Lincoln who went straight upstairs after skating. The opportunity to watch a film had passed so we ended up watching a Mock the Week montage and went bed lol getting old is so relaxing
I have now moved the Cyclone into the corner saving floor space which was something I had to do because it would have done me head in
The pipework is routed as simply as I can with flowing bends rather than 90s and I have sealed the drainage pipework with gaffer tape and jubilee clips and think its as good as I can make it now.
So I turned it on and it was good and the setup looked solid but that was only one of the motors so I turned the second motor on and it stayed solid but the increase in suction was impressive.
At 68mm bore the performance was really good but when I reduced the bore for tools like a sander etc and it began whistling so I switched the second motor off, just incase.
While I did the tests, above, I put a flexible exhaust pipe on one of the motors and it is SOOOO much quieter, I will DEFINITELY be getting another length of pipe for the other motor because I can have both on they will be quieter and nothing collapses at 68mm bore.
It looks like the weakest part of the system is the bag under the Cyclone which by all accounts is how it should be…?
About to take Bill for a walk I feared in to Jamie’s office only to see her playing a game on her phone so I banged on the window to make her jump.
She jumped, quite a lot actually the looked angry mouthing “I’m on the phone”
She was actually counselling someone and playing Tetris at the same time nice work if you can get it!
Tuesdays are music lessons and they are both in Sandbach and hour and half apart. For Reagan it’s a piano lesson from 6pm to 6:30 So I just sit in the car and wait
Lincoln has a drum lesson at 7:30 at the same place, so I drive home drop her off and pick him up and do the same thing again.
Tonight I rolled the seat down locked the doors and may have nodded off, the reason I locked the doors was because of the irrational thought of beimg attacked while I slept…
Imagine tbe shock when I was startled awake by someone pulling on the door handle trying to get into the car?
Luckily it was Lincoln but for a second I thought i was getting attacked
Over the weekend I utilised the pipework that Uncle Andy fetched and increased the air flow between the CamVac and the Cyclone
The thing I realised once I’d got it back to a working setup, in the photo above, and thought about it overnight was that the Cyclone should have been in the corner!
Not a huge deal but it needs to be in the corner so it takes up the least floor space. As it is in the photo the space to left is wasted so I have to change it
Just watched Denver Broncos lose in the AFC Championship game.
I love watching the Denver Broncos win or lose it lights me up this season has been beyond brilliant but that’s it 10-7 going for it on 4th & 1 in the first half means our season ends tonight. I thought Sean Payton could weave his magic and the defence would stop the Pats…
We made mistakes, the D was immense and did their job but without all the weapons on the offence we came up short.
I’m disappointed, I now have to wait until September for it to begin again and hope we can go one better
I just think this was a season too early for the Denver Broncos but I think with Nix we might have done it? We need more receivers able to make plays…weapons to help Bo he’s a good QB but may be great with help and the the next draft and free agency will be the difference ‘in my opinion’!
Draft well on offence, keep the defence stacked make free agency work for you and make sure the coaching staff remains elite!
GO BRONCOS!
Couldn’t motivate me self today to do anything after freakishly hurting my hand tieing mt shoe lace. Just got a seering pain between me pinky and third finger at the web and it just went black? So spent the morning trying to potter and the afternoon lay on the sofa watching YouTube
What a waste!
Reagan loves history and one of the great things I share with her is The World at War or as we call it “a bit of genocide’ its just our thing.
She wants to find a similar series on Korea and that war because she is doing it in her GCSEs I said no problem but let’s at least win this one first!
Not sure there is a series like this one anywhere because it’s so very good made in 1974 narrated by Lawrence Oliver a masterpiece…
January can be a long month, dark damp and just dreary so when I was driving Lincoln to the Lyceum Theatre for his drama class in the dark with mizzle moistening my windscreen knowing I am going to go home for an hour then go back and pick him up.
I don’t mind, this isn’t a compliment this is just pointing out that if it was still light, warm, the sun still brightening the sky my mood would be so much better…
We have suffer January to appreciate the rest of the year but why does it have to be so looooong.
Who knew?
Jamie’s 45th birthday would be festoon with boxes of bath bombs of all shapes and fragrances, I think it must be a middle age thing because everyone bought her Da Bombs
Anyway I shared my first bath with a bomb tonight and Oh Em Geezy…it was just a bit more smelly (in a good way)! Not sure it had the promised relaxation properties it said on the box but with so many to choose from the next few weeks are going to be explosive because Im bombing every bath from now till they’re gone baby lol
