Googling 'ancient stone pulley' doesn't throw up much beyond what the Egyptians used to build the pyramids, which makes sense with the loads they were shifting. For less strenuous lifting work it does seem a lot of effort to make a pulley from a lump of stone when it would've been much easier to do it in timber, which are far more common. I'm starting to think it's more likely to be the base of a decorative column...

You could try asking your local chippy what they do, and if legit, would they mind if you dropped off your oil with their waste. Ditto the local Indian restaurants who you seem to be on good terms with. As an aside, has anyone else noticed that food caddy waste is thrown into the garden waste bins when they they empty the bins, which is exactly what we did before the council said we had to have separate bins and spent ???? on distributing the food caddies...

The landlord has allowed the tenant to break the contract early, and also leave with just 2 week's notice, standard is a month (assuming an AST was signed). Hardly strikes me as a mean-spirited person. Again, using the hotel analogy, should a hotel let a room out for free just because they don't have another guest lined up the next day?...

Tell you friend to try staying in a hotel for a day longer than she originally booked for without paying anything extra and see what happens...:)

The weather's not helping but this feels like one of the grimmest days since the initial lockdown, and this time no exit strategy whatsoever. The majority of the country made sacrifices in order to protect the NHS from being overwhelmed and to buy time for an efficient test and trace system, and there's absolutely nothing to show for it except a clown car of a Government making it up as they go along. There's not even a tunnel in sight let alone a light at the end of it...

Shouldn't your architect be advising you about this?...

Don't millstones need a flat, smooth surface in order to grind properly?...https://www.dandelionstonetroughs.co.uk/millstones-for-sale/ ETA: Are the grooves helical like a screw? If so could be a rope mooring of some kind.

You can guarantee that if a council were able to put money aside for a rainy day, people would complain why it hadn't been spent on this, that, and t'other. A classic case of damned if they do, dammed if they don't...
