Irrigation

Today spent replacing the old nozzles in the top block.The old ones have been in about ten years and have effectively worn out.The down tubes and the old hanging basket irrigation is also coming out and extra support hooks going in.This block requires about 300 new nozzles which is a lot of climbing up and down ladders.

Our lane is suffering badly from pot holes as are many of the roads across the country.Some are so bad now that they are lethal for cyclists and motorcyclists. So much seems to have gone backwards over the last twenty years.
Things we used to do well:-
Decent roads
Reliable railways
Postal service
GP services
NHS
BBC News
Police (Do they still exist other than sitting behind speed cameras ?)
Government
Culture
Fair Play
Education
Buses
Manners
Free Speech ( I do seem to offend some section of society every time I speak but do I always have to be silent)
The list could go on.Am I just getting old or is it as second rate as it appears to be?

A few showers and a few sunny intervals.
