V380 camera problem

Went to move it from the bird bath over to the cottage garden to monitor Speckles and when I plugged the micro USB cable into the camera connector it broke away and is now rattling around inside the camera housing – bugger.

Gave myself no chance of repairing this one!

Removed the base and the USB PCB socket dropped out onto the work bench. - the tiny mounting legs have broken off. No photo of the actual socket as it's too small (bloody tiny) for the phone camera to focus.

Laminar flow water jet - revisited

Cleaning up around the garden shed came across this water feature that's been neglected for the last 8 years - time flies!

The special hand-made brass nozzle jet that allows for undisturbed water flow - is missing! I just made another simplified nozzle jet from a steel washer; countersunk, ground and then polished. The result is quite acceptable. See my blog link below for the 2014 project build.

I still need a water pump to recirculate the water.

Speckles likes the entry foyer

During that extended hot spell Speckles spent the nights in the entry foyer and now with the cooler weather she was back in the chook shed last night. Went out to lock up and put her to bed and found her standing on the front door mat - so let her in.
