Good morning all. With lots of cloud around I haven't seen the meteor showers this time around. Last night when I climbed into bed and looked up, I realised I was looking at stars - the clouds had parted. A clear night sky is always fascinating, but sleep was having none of that and must have taken me within a few seconds of my head touching the pillow.
A friend came yesterday to put in an insulated flue in my new workplace. Regulations have changed since the last time he did one for me, he had to put in a supporting bracket above the woodburner to take the weight of the flue, otherwise he couldn't give me the paperwork for building control. It seems that a sturdy 100kg plus stove is no longer deemed able to support any weight, so an ugly sheet steel bracket has to go in :confused3: Maybe I will get used to it, or perhaps I could weld up something that will look better. Anyway, it will have to wait for another time, more hay tedding today.
