My heater packed up today (although the aircon/heater control panel still lights up), the windscreen wiper fell off, the door's broken, the window covers don't fit any more, there's still 6 inches of mud behind the seat, and I lost my rubber mat in the snow.
Still, got an extra 2 days work out of it reinstating the river bank, and I was allowed to knock a tree over, which was nice. |

Pics !
1. Part of the pond I've been clearing (It was choked with reeds and a big patch of willow, and had a foot of silt before)

2. The rest of the pond. The piles of snow are the reeds ready for use. The posts are chestunt, and have hazel weaved into them to form a natural barrier. The reeds and silt from the pond are placed behind it to form a natural environment for water vowls to live in. Yawn.

It wasn't, then it was You can see the track marks where I was "floating" on top of the mud. As soon as the front of the tracks came out of the water, the back just sunk in. And in, and in, and then I tried to get out, and it went in further. Just like spinning your wheels on sand. So I gave up.
The air intake is to the left of the engine cover under the grid. God knows how it didn't suck any water in |
