Counting angels on pinheads ( an obscure reference, but easy enough to look up) has gone, but the thread itself is testimony to aptness.

Each water company seems to have a slightly different set of rules.

For mine, Wessex Water they have people still recovering from surgery which includes me. I have another 3 weeks before I'm allowed to carry anything heavy. So that should see me through for the fruit and veg which I rely on for the year.

Tiny garden takes about 10 mins to do them.

I have only used a hose since the op as I usually fill buckets with extra water from the house is running the hot tap, jug and bucket from the bath. And the amount is only the same as a bath which I can't at the moment take.

I don't feel guilty for that while car washes are still operating.

Only the blue badge holder can use the hosepipe and it must be at their home address. If they live in communal housing, such as sheltered housing where I live, they cannot use it. 😿

Bang goes my plan of hiring out my Blue Badge-owning neighbour at £30 a pop to come round and water your begonias.
