Pittsboro, NC

 Getting settled back in at home… waking up at 2:30AM consistently since that’s 7:30AM BST….hopefully that will fix itself soon!

One of the things we knew we would have to address on our return to the house was a septic tank issue.....we'd had it "pumped out" because it was backing up right before we left in early May.  But it didn't solve the problem.  Too little time to investigate, we just left it be.

Fast forward....another pumpout and investigation revealed a complete blockage with tree roots in the piping!!  (Ours is a pump system - our drainage field is above the house so there is piping involved that is not normally in a gravity system).   Anyhooo....long process of digging it all up and removing and replacing the piping.  No problem for Duane but a tedious slightly messy process! 

Meanwhile....I had a month's worth of paperwork to do at the airport!  Busy day as well.  Lots of fun traffic.

I found a bag of "catering" that was left at the airport.  Apparently, a charter jet failed to pick up their (very expensive) catering!  I expect this bag was $100+ worth of delivered food.  It was several days since the delivery so we decided to use it rather than throw it away.

 

It was an interesting assortment....the veggies were still OK but another day and they'd be toast.   I know, I'm easily amused.

And then late in the day, Dick and Lindy invited us over for drinks and conversation before they leave on a trip to Switzerland!!
