Mmm. I've checked mine, it's Chinese and fragile.
I emptied it, cleaned it with WD40 and hope it holds together,while I'm on here.
Busy, cold cloudy morning, preparing for a lunch party . Sun broke through at 11.00 , too hot for coffee with brandy. Our two houseguests worked like Trojans. All was in place when the guests arrived at 1.00. We sat outside until 5.
A lovely afternoon. The booze -laced pears and Firewater Medronho mousse did their work splendidly.
10 degrees now, 8 later.
Still no rain forecast.
IT WAS BRILLIANT.! ! !
Ooops, sorry, it's dropped off.
