How about that for a shot? <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, we had to wait until Tuesday evening for it to come back on line.<\/p>\n<p>Mind you, it isn\u2019t as if you missed anything. With it being a Bank Holiday I had a day off and so I did nothing except read a book or two, watch a film or two, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.erichall.eu\/2010c260.html\" target=\"_blank\">work on the Newfoundland web pages<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But we had rain, all 4.5mm of it and now there\u2019s about 100 litres of water in the water butts. <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve used too much cleaner in there though and so it\u2019s rather more soapy than I would like. But I have 30 litres of clean water that I saved and so I can use that for cooking, and meanwhile keep on drawing off the water in the butt to use for washing, washing up and so on.<\/p>\n<p>I started by drawing 30 litres out and saving it in a different container. That\u2019s reduced the water in the butts of course and so as more rain falls (if it ever does) it has a good start on diluting the cleaner that remains. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s all trial and error around here.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m quite a trial and there&#8217;s error a-plenty!<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-9349 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='9349' data-nonce='182153e975' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Like' \/><span class='lc-9349 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-9349 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='9349' data-nonce='182153e975' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Unlike' \/><span class='unlc-9349 unlc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-9349 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; me last night when you were waiting for this entry to come on line?
