Pretty sure this part of a #submersible #pump isn’t supposed to get water in it! So annoyed that I dropped this and smashed the casing. It wasn’t until after using it that a piece of plastic fell from the impeller, so decided to strip it down. It’s in need of some serious medical attention…

Nipped to the village for a bag of cement. It always surprises me that a village so small has its own dedicated builders merchant, but thankful that it does as the nearest other one is a bit of a trek! Lovely early evening light…

Good to offload the #almonds at the nΓ©gociant today, as I was struggling to get in the shed! Talking to Josep, it’s apparently been another difficult year for many (us included) as seed quality isn’t consistent due to the fluctuating #weather. Still, at least they’re worth more than last year…

Having a little fun with this classic and taking things a bit slower. OK, so I don’t really need to use the Weston Master V as the light meter still works, but I prefer incident light readings…

Although we received several government alerts, we were spared the catastrophic rainfall that hit Southern #Catalunya last night, with only 10mm recorded on our hillside. Intense rain is hitting the region to the south again tonight, and our thoughts are with those affected…

Customised a budget waxed cotton camera bag I bought from Amazon with some re-foamed Billingham inserts for my old FM2, as the bags’ padding was woefully inadequate, but Billingham bags are serious money these days. Pretty pleased with the results…
