I assume your mixer now needs a new flex.

Thankfully, before.
Last look round the site, to see if there was anything else I needed to
do.

Lol. Well done!

My last mistake was designing a piece of wood to go where there was
already another bit, and no neither could be removed or omitted. Quite
tame.

When you've cut out a particularly intricate piece of lining paper
to go around an obstruction, apply paste to the correct side.

Write 'PASTE' in big letters on the appropriate side :-)
Likewise mark the scrap side when you're marking a cut in sheet material
so you don't forget which side of the line you're supposed to be cutting
to.

Thats easy. Cut the flex and leave it for 'time team 3000' and fit new flex.

Ah,,thats like the classic mistake in model aircraft construction..two
left wings...

My last mistake was in not realising that on a mains pressurised water
system, although turning the mains off stops the water...flushing a
toilet and allowing the ball valve to open will result in a loss of
vaccuum and scalding hot water gushing out of the hot water pipe you
have just cut off to add a new bit onto..until the tank drains down a
bit too..

Actually the thing that gets me is the recursive installation problem.

I need to install the tiles to put in the basin to establish the vanity
unit height in order to be able to accurately cut the piece of MDF that
sits behind the basin covering the pipes and which has to go in before
the tiles are laid...

No, because you have to do something before you can do it - in a loop
you'd just do it over and over.

Or...in the days before they invented 'Tile edging strip '; set up your
circular-
saw bench with a stone cutting disc, mitre ALL of your external corner
tiles so as to provide a neat edge. THEN realise you have mitred for an
internal corner not an external one. AND ...since they were all cut to
size they were no use for anywhere else....Whoops

After accidentally vacuuming up a vital and unique screw, do not put
it in your holed shorts pocket after carefully going through the
dustbag in the garden.

Then having found the screw after ages spent on hands and knees in the
dirt, remember to put a new bag in the vacuum ready for use next time.

Also when throwing out the old bag and not replacing it with a new
one, remember to retain the bag holder for when it's needed a few
weeks later....

cheers,
Pete.

When your strimmer starts to emit clouds of smoke and stop working,
switch off the mains BEFORE cutting the wire off with a pair of
scissors...

not necessarily. if tai recursive then it's equivalent to a loop.

Recursion and looping are different.

Looping is where you just repeat the same thing over and over again.

Recursion is where the thing you are doing causes the thing you are doing to
happen.

....however I am unable to determine whether this part of the discussion is
recursive, or is just becoming repetitive;-)

A loop is when you repeat the same sequence of things until the job is done,
the tiling issue was more like a chicken and egg problem which is kind of
recursive.

Talking about chickens and egg mysteries:

One of my bantams went broody so last Thursday I got some fertile eggs to
slip under her, I was advised that five would be a good number, they like
odd numbers.

The next day I saw that she'd kicked one out and later that to the resulting
four a fifth had been added - laid by our other bantams who normally lays in
a different coop. I removed it.

This morning I found another fifth egg from the other bantam.

Since the first is sitting tight at all times except when I lift her to make
her eat and drink (and the other is also out) I want to know how these extra
eggs are getting under the broody. And when is the second bantie laying -
and how is she getting her egg under the bossy broodie?

That's an idea.

The coop (an Eglu) is small and unlit, I suspect it must be happening at
night. If I undertake this exercise again I'll bear that in mind, she can
sit somewhere else.
