I've had a week of Covid but now have tested negative so must mask for 3 more days just to be sure. Glad that having had the vaccines and boosters and getting the anti-viral that symptoms were lessened. Still something to be avoided and wish I had been successful with that. Of the 10 of us on vacation I was the only one to test positive and experience it.Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992626996077874832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-25245638110702874412022-08-20T17:14:31.565+01:002022-08-20T17:14:31.565+01:00As usual a busy programme Sue and pasta sauce for ...As usual a busy programme Sue and pasta sauce for the freezer,The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-56952178768300887552022-08-20T15:28:04.512+01:002022-08-20T15:28:04.512+01:00The rules on siting of heating oil tanks is to do ...The rules on siting of heating oil tanks is to do with closeness to combustible materials so if a tank is going to be near a wooden door then it has to be 1.8 metres away from it and it has to be that far away from the eves of the house and 1.8 metres is just over five feet and most house eves and bungalows will be higher than that. However, if it is next to a solid brick wall then it can be as close as you like. The chances of heating oil spontaneously combusting are zero even if you threw a match at it. So relax everybody. My tank is next to my house but if I measured it it is probably several feet away and definitely more than 5 feet from the eves.
