We too get up during the night to let three dogs out! more than once usually.It is for me as I usually get up at 4:45 to walk the dog......
See above
Strangely I actually enjoy it. I am a morning person. I like to get up early and get things done while the world sleepsWe too get up during the night to let three dogs out! more than once usually.
But we don't WALK them, we just open the door and out they go!
Then straight back to bed!
Putting clothes on, finding a lead? Hmm!
Would rather train him her to use a tray wiv a fing on it like we do for puppies!
Anyways, got up latish as Wifey was supplying wind all night as well as the weather, poor thing. She took the first dose of the dreaded stuff last night 7p.m and the dreaded exam isn't until tomoz 9.30 a.m. so she still has a lot to go through, or, to put it another way, a lot to go through her!
I've done it and it isn't fun.
So thort I'd go into renewing my insurance on the Disco. Have to go with SAGA as they are the only company giving year round foreign cover.
Was pleasantly surprised to find it is only £3 more expensive than last year!
However, with the demise of ADAC for Brits, we now need foreign breakdown recovery. SAGA want £124! EEK!
So I did the Comparison site thing for a 3 month trip. none of the barstewards would even quote!
Moral of the story, don't try and drive an old car on the Continong unless you take your own breakdown truck with you!
FFS, I used to be able to get it for kit cars!!!!
So i'll take a deep breath then break it to Wifey!
(Better take her a cup of tea at the same time.
. but I bet wifeys can’t tow.) mind we do pay for it as the main services are down at the stealer....., get home empty pockets from all the leather, where’s me ****ing wallet.. In car and back track (60km) please no. Anyway 5km down the road I see a piece of paper. It’s an ATM ticket with my name on it, then a few more so walked the road (looking like a hooker) but found nothing. So off to the police station to report it, then home and cancel cards.). no there’s been a **** up and they didn’t get the vaccines Rant (ish) over.
Afternoon folks
Well what should have been a good week went all a bit pair shaped
So had a great, albeit a bit chilly ride in on the bike on Tuesday. Got insurance for 2 bikes and the beast ( less than £300 for all including green card, only third party though), so that’s a thumbs up
Down to the MOT place and a pass no issue, it’s funny how when you take a rare bike in that all of a sudden loads of technicians appear
Off I go home
Not there
Back into town yesterday to pickup new cards for the BG account, (yep printed on site
As the weather was going to be ****ty we ate in town and stayed at a local hotel (£30 for 2) for our COVID jab today.
So early morning walk 08:15 to the hospital for the jab
So next week is renew ID , driving license and try find somewhere to get a little prick
Think I should write most of this week off

It seems a shame to put it so high out of the way! My FIL made one and put it on a frame like the one you made (it was a tad lighter!).
It will be readily visible as it will only be 4M off the ground. It is a "frippery" that herself wanted me to make for her.It seems a shame to put it so high out of the way! My FIL made one and put it on a frame like the one you made (it was a tad lighter!).
Looking forward to the pic of it spinning in the wind
Are you fitting bearings in the rotational tube? If yes, perhaps an additional thrust bearing on the base to take the pressure off?It will be readily visible as it will only be 4M off the ground. It is a "frippery" that herself wanted me to make for her.
As a man that gets to buy whatever he wants (within reason) I could hardly say NO.
I have tested the arrow part for wind-direction spinning, and it's really good.
Daffyd will need a huge amount of wind to make him turn, but I can fix that too!
The arrow is passed through a tube with a 28x12x8 roller bearing in the middle.
Hate to say this, but so far never needed breakdown cover, but, as you say, the one time you've not got it, you'll need it. (Wifey needed it twice, once with ther Chesil speedster where i told the Frog mechanic in great detail with drawings and diagrams in French, how to fix it. The prick didn't do what I asked so once she eventually was able to make the journey, about 300 miles from home to pick it up, it bruk down again at a service station. Luckily some lorry drivers got her going.How often have you need breakdown cover?
I know the time you don’t have it you will need it
Fort you were going to be towing wife’s car so if you break down switch
Come on you tight git £124 sounds cheap for European cover, don’t you go for more than 3 months?
Can’t you get french cover?
We have RR cover for ours (free
Oh and we get green cards automatically here (free)
Apart from that hope whatever Mrs Steamers checks are, they go well

Other tiem she drove off the road into a farmer's field, got no signal on her mobile, but a coupla guys helped her back onto the road. I once had a diesel return pipe on the 300tdi split so i was losing a bit of diesel, but ficxed it myself onece i could get off the Autoroute and to a "Norauto".
Mate what sh!t! D'you reckon it was nicked or did you lose it? Nightmare scenario so many of us fear.Afternoon folks
