Up 9-ish a tad late for me. New BF stayed the night and left about 8am. I noted the garden tap had a slight drip so I read Google, went on my bike and got a rubber for the tap, then I put some WD40 I bought from Screwfix along with the rubber, waited 30 mins, put my gloves on and tried to open it up then recalled, turn off the water. The stop cock was stiff and my next-door (old guy in his mid 60's) friend/Charlie was in the garden I told him he offered and had a struggle but closed the stop cock and unscrewed the outside tap and changed the washer/etc, no drip now . Offered him a cupa and cake he said no thanks it was a pleasure helping me out - what a nice guy. Then I moved the skirting, spare bits left in one of the bedrooms to the garage, cleaned up the wood floors, just had lunch and may go out for a walk and but odds and ends as very sunny here.
