@c No pump involved, not at my end anyway. Water main is pressurised.

@c My instantaneous gas hot water system died two months ago. The new unit needs mains power to start the burner. So I need to find out if a 12 volt inverter can provide enough "juice" for the ignition cycle.

I spotted an old associate & his wife in the shops today, neither were ageing well at all. He was moving the way someone waiting for a hip replacement does. He'd lost a considerable degree of weight, which he had needed to do.
But his wife was far worse. She's had regular brain operations to excise a benign tumour and either she's had a major stroke or the tumour has worsened: she needs a rollator walker & her speech is slurred and one eye is mostly closed. I didn't enquire, being so shocked/sad to see her state.
Visiting Mum, I had a blouse on board my car that I'd forgotten to unload after our interstate funeral trip. I also wanted to know if she still needed a lift to her scheduled hospital appointment.
She had forgotten about it and yes, she does need a driver.
More Meccano mods. Now the iPhone SE is supported at the back while in its LifeProof case & perched on the TwelveSouth Hi-Rise 2.
@kdfrawg I tried to acan some negatives from a roll of film I'd had developed a few years ago, using an Epsom V330 flatbed scanner. I alternate between the standard Epson software, Apple's Image Capture & VueScan.
In this case there was a failure. Caused by some fuckwit at the photo shop getting confused and supplying me with negatives from some useless arsehole who didn't even know how to hold a camera, going by the blurred and strangely-angled pics on the negatives.
I wasn't able to get my negatives back so I demanded (and received) a CD with the images scanned at 1200 dpi.
I'm still angry at them handing my negatives to some numpty who'll never even look at the things.

@matigo No, it's fine. I was just observing the fact that you can get a widescreen view as well as the upright one
