Wife insisted on making a cooked breakfast today. I am not going to argue. Only one slice of fried bread. Boiled leeks on the side. Smashing.
Groin pain is still bothering me (4+ years now
) I have a pre-op for a nerve block next week, but have no faith that it will alleviate the pain.
We think the very disabled woman who lives 5 doors up from us has died. This is of interest as the house is bigger than ours, and might suit us (me) very well. I think there is a proper full size snooker table in the house, which I wouldn’t mind at all. The hifi room would be my main concern as usual. I think it would be bad taste to knock and ask the bereaved husband what his plans are… mmm. The Daughter has already said that she would want to buy our house.
It is an ‘if ifs and ands were pots and pans there would be no work for Tinkers,’ situation so I will try to stop thinking about where the HiFi would go.
Took the casing off of my arcam alpha 9 c.d. player to see if I could shove a bit of rubber or something near the ?transformer? to eliminate/reduce the slight audible hum that comes from the casing. I couldn’t see anywhere that I could stick anything to reduce the hum.
I did run a bit of wire from the casing to the ground on the amplifier. This seems to have made a slight difference. I also added sorbothane and felt to the c.d. player feet. In terms of hifi d.i.y. this has been a major triumph as I didn’t loose any screws or break anything.
We went to look at a bungalow for sale yesterday. It needed 100k spending on it to get it liveable, but it would still be wrong (no view). - it did have a massive garden. We think a developer will buy it, knock it down and shove 3 properties on the huge space. Always enjoy looking though.
