Went out to get Takeaway last night, Came back and the wife was just putting the neighbours strimmer back ( for some reason she could not get the line feed to work on our £7 homebase special ) and she rolled up the extension lead as I took the Tea ( Singapore Chowmein with chips for me + splash of Sweet and sour sauce ) inside and got plates out.
Anyway I later went out and finished spraying my wishbones in the garage and shut up shop around 9ish..
Nothing odd your thingking,
Nope the neighbour does not mind us using garden tools, nor was there an issue with the extension lead. I did point out the extending real bolted to the roof but not a problem. Nor was the grass cutting bad ( the grass is crap anyway ).
So
I get up this morning, alls fine get the boys ready. Open the eldest curtains and look out on the back garden. The pond.
There apears to be at least one or two fish basking on the surface, it was already quite warm at 8AM but a little odd. So I goes out and finds one fish on it's side gasping, one other fish just floating and lots of other fish near the surface gasping a bit. fountain and waterfall are not running.
1st assumption was that the lower pond had run dry, but the pump was not even making a noise and the fountain is separate. So the power must be of to the distribution panel. Had She tripped the power????
NO she had unplugged the S....ing extension power that runs to the pond!!!
I restored that sharpish, then got the hosepipe and fired that into the water too to create as much bubbles as I could.
I then fished out a £70 And £20 Orfe, bagged them and binned them.. Thankfully that seems to be the only two casualties, my £150 Ghostie seems to have recoverd from his ordeal lying on his side. It took a couple of hours for him to act normaly though.
I ran the Hose for about 50 minuets, I later found a lift pump on a shelf and that made gr8 turbulance so that's been left there for the time being..
So, Mow your own lawns or mark up IMPORTANT plugs!
