The front left wheel of the sit-on mower broke the other day. Something that keeps it in place seems to have snapped, and the wheel was turning without its bearing for a little while. This knackered the wheel, so I'm waiting on a replacement one from my local service agent. They always say that parts will arrive in a few days but it always takes at least a fortninght. Meanwhile, I need to cut the grass so I bit the bullet and bought a second-hand walk-behind self-propelled one to use as a spare.
Meanwhile, I can at least change the oil and replace the oil filter. Hence the oily patch....
The boiler has a problem too. The wood is fed into the boiler by a screw feed, and this arm is one of two that sweep the wood into the screw. Except this one doesn't because it has snapped. It's been over a week and I still don't have even a quote for a replacement from the distributor, though the guy just phoned to drop round to take some measurments. Apparently there are several options for the mounting.
I can probably weld the two bits together, but I'd rather fit a new one, and keep the welded one as a spare.

Seems rather unkind to mention this, but you do know that things always break down in threes?
Thanks a million! Let's hope it's the egg timer.
Are you a part of the "Just came apart in me 'ands, honest" brigade?
Nope, I'm normally pretty good with things that might come to bits
I love reading about the lackadaisical attitude about appointments in France :-)
Hi Cherie, I try not to let it wind me up :)
Trying to find how to "Follow", but can't, so doing this instead.
You're lucky to be alive.
Hi Eleanor, I think you can follow using Google account, but I use the Android app "Feedly" to follow the Blogs that interest me.
Are you Eleanor B?
Hi James, yes, I have had the occasional contretemps with the forces of nature :)
