Really: old things break down more easily than younger things…

Health is an issue when you get older and well, machines just break down…

My water-pump in the basement finally broke down after more than 40 years of service. The plumber said it couldn’t be repaired anymore (but that’s what they always say…). Anyway, I am in no mood to try and fix it myself as my garden needs water and I am not going to break my back trying so! Pumps are heavy, or at least my old pump is

So up and buy a new one, £400 well spend if this pump agrees on working another 40 years Saves my back also a lot of work because carrying water in buckets outside is quite not a good idea.
