the charger saga
the battery charger for the drill driver suddenly stopped functioning and i must have wasted almost two days riding round deal in futile attempts to try and replace or find ways of repairing it. finally gave up when it was tested and there was nothing coming out of the transformer. this after having bought a tt10 torx screwdriver for the single use of opening the bloody thing in the hope that it was just a loose solder joint
my desire to not waste anything verges on autistic and the guys at states agreed that as a society we are making a great mistake in no longer trying to repair things or even making them repairable in the first place. in the end i left a search query on ebay
jo came and picked up some tools and i decided to delay working at petham till next wednesday. time appears to be passing very quickly these days

meanwhile the lean to now has three moveable out of the way shelves and i have potted up the tomatoes and onions that robin donated
hopefully the next couple of days will be more productive as i make the work bench
i ended up buying another drill driver which will arrive tomorrow if amazon have their act together
