Good (Saturday) morning. Another frosty overnight Low of -3.1C and it's presently warmed up to 10.3C (predicted High of 13C). Again, it's clear and calm.
What with the overnight 'cold snap' I've been having for the past few days, I was keeping an 'ear' on my tank pumps... and, sure enough, the small 'shed tank' pump was working overtime. Bugger. I shut the pump off. The copper pipe from the pump to the spigot had well & truly burst and I lost practically the whole 5k litres. It's not a disaster as I put the horse trough onto the 'house tank'. I remembered, a couple of hours later, to also shut the tank valve off.
I'll contact my plumber on Monday as, I suspect, I won't have been the only one in the area to need a burst pipe repair and mine isn't a priority. Rain is predicted this Tuesday/Wednesday.
That's about it, take care all.
