It's temporarily sorted Marie as the problem is salt corrosion inside the panels in the electrical boxes in our garage. All will have to be replaced as the problem will recur.  >:(  At least we now know why as it was driving us nuts here when nobody could work it out.

Just for fun a pic if my D I L selling her food at a flea market in Myapur India.



With one GD aged 6 and the other GD aged 12



And a pic of the market. Different way of life eh?



When the power is strong enough my  DIL. is able to use her Thermomix.

That is an expensive job MF tedious and disruptive as well. Will insurance cover it?

Gert,  thanks for the lovely photos.  What beautiful people.  It really isn't all that different to our local Farmers Market.  Trees , stalls,  food,  people all sharing.  Bit warm though.

Beautiful photos Gert and a lovely DIL.

Not sure if insurance will cover it but DH believes it to be builders responsibility as they placed all the power boards next to garage door which has a gap on either side which would allow the salt spray to get inside the garage although in saying that I have never seen any sign of water even after severe weather. Our Foxtel satellite dish is a rust bucket and needs replacing also. >:(

Morning all.  A cool sunny day here.

Lovely photos Gert.  DH & I went to our local farmers market yesterday and bought some lovely fresh veg.  It's the first market we have had here in a long time.

The  man who said it can't be done should not interupt the woman doing it.

Beautiful photos Gert.

MF salt corrosion can be a real pain near the ocean. We have friends at Sorrento and they have awful problems. The air itself seems to carry salt as well. At least you know the cause now.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Yikes, I woke up at 11am this morning.  Only just have time to say good morning before it turns into good afternoon here. ;D

MF I hope your internet is finally sorted, you must have been tearing your hair out.

Long day ahead of you Cookie, good thing you don't have to go to work tomorrow  ;)  It's always nice to go home and I'm sure DH is eagerly awaiting your arrival.

It's only just 4 years old Gert so hopefully you are correct.  You have  gorgeous GD's  :D

A real pain JD and only temporarily sorted but will enjoy it in the meantime. You must have needed the rest  ;D

Missed a few postings here, Gert your DIL and GKs are gorgeous - thanks for sharing the photo with us.

Only 6 years warranty on a house Gert, gee ours had a 25 year warranty here!  How things have changed.

My DS's new veggie garden. They pay someone to dig it and maintain. Sharing with another family it costs a total of $20 a month. They have planted

Eggplant, tomatoes, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce, kolrabi, coriander, parsley, oregano, roses, marigolds, frangipanis, jackfruit tree and all types of spinach.
Luckily there is a tap for watering
