Horse rugs - four to clean

You can see how it cleans up, we have a sloping driveway so I work from top to bottom.

Chester - browsing catalogues

Chester says: Just browsing through the latest Bunnings catalogue, I usually flick through to the garden plants section and eat those pages – yum.

Cocoon CCTV Security System – camera problems

UPDATE 19/01/15 – Just got back from Winplus in Boronia with a new camera, straight back up the ladder to install and working OK. Tonight I will check night mode operation!

Camera No 4 (Backyard) is dead – RIP

This is the second camera to die so off again to Winplus in Boronia to exchange for a new one. Weather improved this afternoon so decided to install the camera which I had running on test overnight next to the DVR.

Update on faulty garden water pump

With reference to:

Water tank pump has sprung a leak!

Got a call today from the Stihl Shop informing me that there are no spare parts available to repair the pump (what a surprise ) and to trip back over there to collect the required paperwork so we can get a full refund from ALDI.

I was expecting this outcome that’s why I went off to ALDI last Wednesday and bought the same water pump while they were on sale as it’s likely they won’t come around again for at least 6 months.

So…for the original purchase price of $99.99 we start again with a new pump and 12 month warranty period – happy with that.

Milo and those blue eyes

Acoustic guitar recording – update

Snippet from 'Streets Of London' (Ralph McTell)

Still trying to get the audio right, this time with a old condenser microphone via a camcorder cable into my Samsung Galaxy GT-N7000 – no good. Looks like I’ll have to buy a decent mic and preamp – ouch.

Holly relaxing

Holly - This should pacify those people who have commented that some of the photos I posted of my dog in relaxed positions have been a - bit raunchy.
