DON'T HANDLE WITH CARE THEN

MONDAY
Red hot it was scorching the sun was going for all it was worth what a glorious day .
Even went to the logging mill and bought two logs I will drill and chisel them out so we have two natural planters they only cost five  pounds for the two of them a proper bargain.

Our good friend Ken he lives  in the van over the road to us gave us a Blagdon fish tank for the outside it holds 75 gallons of water and as a fountain and waterfall which gives a great sound of running water all we need to get is an ultra violet bulb which prevents alga and green stuff building up .He even put down the flags down all level for the tank to sit on whilst i was at work .


TUESDAY
I started drilling out one of the logs it was not long before the drill was smoking i have done about a third and it is looking good .
Went to get the ultra violet light from the aquatic part of the garden centre we also bought some tap safe the club cost us a fiver .

Got home I was  looking at the lead and power brick for the light when the protective glass for the bulb that screws into the light fitting that fits into the pump which is totally submerged in the tank rolled of and broke .I cant buy a new glass you have to buy the whole light which retail on Ebay for £40 , we will get a blue so its costing use £35 pound still a margin shit happens.The irony is Ken had already broke one glass but he had a spare which I then broke should either sell replacement glass or make them out of plastic.

Got my headphones will have to charge them and hear what they sound like hopefully well worth the £20 I spent on them.
