David @ a rain free(for a few hours) side of Swansea bay Okay Mr Picky - rain at night in the hot summer we are going to have. Ray left a double sized wheelbarrow outside and in two (separate) days of rain it was full to the brim. I saw a photo of the river at Dawlish today and it was nearly touching the arch of the bridge, only a couple of feet off it, I'd think. We took the grandson and Oscar Underfoot for a walk at Stitchwick on Dartmoor yesterday and have never seen so much standing water there. You could see that, in places, the Dart had lapped so far over its normal channel that river debris had been washed up 50 or 60' onto the grass in places. Places that are always a bit damp, dew ponds etc., were now 3" or more deep in water and there's more to come. (Listen to Chepstow Radio tonight.

At the moment I would settle for just a few dry days. One of our soak-aways has now stopped soaking away consequently we cannot leave/enter by either of the front doors without donning wellies. -- rbel |

And best wishes from me to everyone for a happy new gardening year. As others have said, it would be good to have some properly organised seasons this year so that we will know what to expect. It seems we might be planning a gardening tour of Devon this year, so who knows where we could be dropping in! -- RG |

Fixed it by giving up using the reset button and instead unplugging it and then plugging it in again. What they call in Germany a " housewife's reset". I've had to do that with mine, possibly as a result of brownouts. Worryingly it failed while on. Memo to self: ask manufacturer which protection mechanism would have prevented my house burning down :) |

I do not see how it can can be considered as failed if still on !! Changing the thermostat so that the aiming temperature was below the room temperature should have caused the boiler to stop heating. It didn't: the heating continued. Niether of the external controls (on/off and water temperature) caused any change. Turning the power supply off at the wall spur connection restored normal operation. Conclusion: internal microcontroller was more than a little confused. /If/ all safety cutouts relied on the microprocessor then there would have been a very serious problem. |
