Hoses
 

My struggles with the hozelok reel to swap over the inlet and handle did
pay off the other week.

I'd used the hose a few days earlier and it had two or three pinholes
that were spraying fine jets all over the place, so I bought a new hose,
then today I though I'd find the holes and cut the damaged section out,
keeping the rest as a "backup" hose.

Connected it up, stretched it out and turned on ... and not a drop
leaking from anywhere!

Still the new hose is one of those 5-layer no-twist hoses, so is better
behaved :-)

next abnormally high rainfall for the rest of the summer?

No, next will be that I use the 'backup' hose to drain the central
heating, and it leaks black sludge over the carpet ...
