Having repaired/sealed my cracked birdbath (with excellent detective work from @K67) I left it the full 24hrs to cure and filled it this morning intending to leave another 24hrs to ensure all leaks were filled.
And now it is raining so bang goes the leak test.

I am very cross with pigeons. They are quite amusing when they sit on the telegraph wire outside my house, sidling up to each other, occasionally mating then one of them just moving away a little bit - nothing to see here. But now - they are congregating on the top of my hedge and eating it and I keep seeing them at the pond dipping their beaks in. There was frogspawn there a few days ago and now there is none. I'm blaming the pigeons. Horrible things. And they ate my young Kale before I had a chance to net it! It's coming back now though - ha ha pigeons. @Dovefromabove - chisel toe slingbacks! Sigh. Those were the days.

I used to cycle 3 miles to Framsden Police Station (leave my bike round the back) and catch the 7.50am bus to Ipswich ... get off at the Electric House and walk down Lloyds Avenue, across the square past the town hall, down Princes Street to the Eastern Counties Farmers offices near the station ... work from 9-5 and then do the reverse, all in 1960s Quant inspired office clothing and the chisel-toed sling backs. They don’t know they’re born nowadays, comfy trainers and office trouser suits with Lycra. We suffered to look that amazing 🤩

And brushed nylon. At least if the sheets were brushed nylon, you were less likely to slide off the bed and land on the floor. I managed that in a hotel. I blame it on slippery sheets and a smaller bed. The drink had absolutely nothing to do with it. Smash and surprise peas😝
When I first knew him my OH had 1 green and 1 orange shirt. When I was 11 I had a suit for 'Sunday-best' (literally cos guess where we were on Sunday mornings). It was beige with 3/4 sleeves Mum shortened the skirt to mini. Crimplene from C&A.
Thanks @herbaceous, there's a similar product called milliput. I have used it to repair an expensive stone pot, but I think it had "gone off" by the time I tried it in the bird bath.
@Allotment Boy we used clear Gorilla glue to repair our stone bird bath, worked a treat. We had had to redo it once but must have lasted 5+ and from memory I think it was the stone crack that had lengthened rather than the glue failing (must be 4 years since we did the last repair).

but I'm not sure about stone repairs as my birdbath is plastic.
