Hi Folks,
One of those days today. It started off with me explaining to Conrad the intricacies of the various simple tasks I perform. You never know how much you know until you have to explain it to someone else and how many words it takes.
The wheels started to fall off right after I checked the gas heater for the pool. Ilan had turned it up for the children this afternoon and it wasn't heating. All the usual tricks failed but I did get it to work by manually lighting the pilot. However the next time it stopped nothing would restart it. The gas technician comes from Hobart on Monday. The pool will slowly cool over the weekend.
While I was whizzing backwards and forwards down the access way as I have done 100's of times the leg of my shorts became hooked over the 25mm plastic air inlet pipe for the spar and ripped it off breaking it in two places. The inlet was now below the water level and a gush of nice 38C water flowed onto the ground. About a 1000 litres worth. There was just enough pipe left to to make a new inlet connection. I wrapped it with epoxy putty for support although I don't think it will stick. Anyway the spa is refilled and reheating and the pipe survived one cycle so hopefully it will last at least a while at least until after we leave.
Conrad, Nick and Doris cooked us dinner tonight even though it wasn't a community dinner night, which was appreciated. Susan was training Karen today and trying to keep tabs on the weekends events. Hopefully things will run smoothly. We have a dinner gathering on Sunday night for around 30 people on top of the choir people hanging around until 4pm. I have booked Susan's rubber room already.
Night folks
Cheers Simon
