When the central heating oil was very cheap in the summer we got both tanks filled up.
Today Harry decided we needed to transfer some out of one tank into the other.
A nasty business as you can see here, he had to put a pipe into each tank, suck one end until he got the flow going....a mouth full of heating oil!
We actually heard today that our nephew has a special thing you put in the end to suck it out....too late!
Three good things:
1. Harry was picked randomly to be tested for coronorvirus so we did the test this morning. A tricky business it was too & he’s done nothing but sneeze all day since.
2. We have been looking after Connie the pup this afternoon...she has grown lots!
3. They have been siloing in the fields today....it’s been coming off cleanly & no mud on the road!
Sorry late posting tonight so probably no commenting!
I do not envy the sucking of oil and getting a mouthful ! Interesting to be randomly selected for coronavirus testing ! - hope he's OK ! Nice to have puppy st this afternoon - like babies they grow so fast at that age . Alfie is really going down hill So difficult to know what to do - we shall miss him terribly ! Had my flue jab this morning !! felt headachy and dozed most of the afternoon !
@phil_howcroft Because there’s two separate hearing systems Phil. When our son & family lived there it was separate plus it meant the tenants in the later years were responsible for their own Heating costs. Two separate electricity metres! All one house though.
We were silly to fill both tanks but oil was so cheap in the summer.
@maggiemae -- It's old age Maggie , Alfie is now completely deaf and looks so weary roaming around slowly , staring into space - but eats well - so sad ::(
one has to ask ...why transfer between tanks ?
