I’m getting flushed. / myLot

I’m having my pipes power flushed today. My appointment is not with a urologist but with a plumber who will execute the procedure and allow heat to return to my radiators and heat my house. Of late my radiators have been quite ineffective, developing large cold areas with only the edges heating up. Upon speaking to a plumber, I now know that a load of gunk has accumulated around the system and the solution is a good, comprehensive flushing. I hope it doesn’t take too long, and I hope the work is effective. Of course now that the weather is heating up there’s little need for central heating, but at least we’ll be ready for next winter. Now all we need is for the Trump/Israel behaviour in Western Asia to improve so that the cost to run central heating can fall, but I’m not holding my breath.

The most important thing here is that the plumber does a good job, so you can be rest assured that you no longer have issues with that.

Sale of ebikes has gone up here as people are finding fuel prices a bit exorbitant.

@JudyEv You can be confident that some people will profit from the current nonsense.

No chance at all of the Israelis behaviour improving. Netanyahu twists the narrative on every single issue. He is a war criminal, responsible for genocide in Gazza, and now potentially in Lebanon He must be prosecuted

The cease fire has caused crude oil to drop below $100 a barrel. Don't know how long that will last though. I hope the flushing solves your heating problem.
