I am presently sat in the Dog and Gun in Keswick. Contemplating a stroll down to the Lake Road tavern cos they've got a beer garden. Haven't been ratarsed for ages, today may just be the day.

Just for fun, one of the pictures from our grandson's Prom where the international bacalaeureat certificats were handed out. The international school in Paris had a massive number going through. The Japanese group, his, is at the front. He...

White insulators, yes, agree with that. So long as they are not blistering. Thought you were referring to the electrodes, where light brown / grey is good.

You could be right, but the man he do say..... (at 8min 47s) that white is good.

That seems to indicate too weak a mixture to me.

Turned nicer as the morning went on. :) Wifey went off for a "pootle" around the local Bazaar's for "things". I took the mini out for a few "spins" to get it nicely warmed up and running well. Just pulled some plugs out for a check on the...

Just cut and washed the older of the two dogs. She is only patient up to a point. Result: she has one "before" paw and three "afters"!! Poor old thing, like lots of old Cockers she has lots of warts. Still when the coat grows back they'll be...

Lucky you we got drizzle.

Sure you spelt that last word correctly?

They climb over The Wall and rustle a few and nip back over The Wall with them. Goes back to their cattle rustling days. :p

Morning all, tis very quiet here but thats about to change as the grinder is coming out :D Off to tackle the other inner wing, the rain set me back yesterday.

A crow keeps pulling my bird feeder off the stand so it can get all the spilt seeds, I'll need to cable tie it on but then its a bugger to fill. I dont want to bend the stand as it will crack all the coating. Got a squiggle coming to it, used to...

Ferrabout the last 6 weeks they have changed to realising I'm full ov nuts and drop them where ever eye goes.

Peeps tend not to wash, polish the roof as much as the bonnet. Eye does both on ma ippo.

Doubtless you will be round there with a big trailer soon to put her out of her misery, poor thing! ;)

Your right I spose I don't like compression joints on show so rather than solder a bend in I was thinking I can get a tighter bend in the micropipe so it looks neater. I also have a part roll of micro pipe in the shed and the rad needs a new...

However, I do think Dacia have got it right with that Spring fing of theirs. Small, cheap, reasonable miles. Most other leccy cars are monstrous great things with too many doohickies to drain the battery. Like they say K I S S.

TBH I wouldnt bother, fresh coat of paint on the pipes. Whos gonna see/know/care? (the answer is not you) If you really want them to run on top of the skirting they will be more visible even if smaller pipe. Yes there will be extra resitance to...

In other news. Fresh new pulley fitted to the spare alternator last afternoon. Loctite 620 on the spindle and threadlock on the.. errm.. thread. Running very sweetly now. Made me realise just how crackered the old one was. Now, where's me Sou'...
