I had the joy of visiting the freezer depot to change trailers last evening.
Temperature inside, approximately -30
Temperature in the loading area, approximately -10

My attire? Safety boots, Hi Viz, T shirt and shorts

You should have used a Hi-Vis t-shirt, cut one layer out.

Did a bit of simulated caving and amusement arcade soft cuddly toy grabbing thingy a little while ago. My daughter's boyfriend had dropped the air-conditioning valve cap inside his car's engine bay.
Out with some tools and a torch to look for the little bl*****r! Finally found it hiding and tried to reach it with my grabber. Just like those soft toy game machines ,when you think you have got it slips from your grasp ! . The search was on again! This time I crawled underneath the car to loosen the undertray.
I found it ! And again it slipped from the grabber before I could reach it. I went round to the other side of the car and crawled underneath to remove some more bolts. Finally the undertray was loose, but I was stuck! Ears tend to act like the barbs on an arrow. They allow movement in one direction but not in the other.
After some wriggling I managed to reach the valve cap and extricate myself from underneath the car.
Fitted the valve cap and then bolted the undertray back up.

You should have used the professional mechanics trick there.

fit a new one

After a Villages, two Bedlams and a Wantsum, I can vouch for a temporary absence of sobriety.

You still on your 'new beer a day' crusade?

Oh yes, in fact I'm significantly ahead of schedule...

We watched The Grand Day Out on the BBC. I was waiting for the reference to Stinking Bishop cheese. All I heard was 'stinking', which sounded clipped!

I thought stinking bishop appeared at the end of the were rabbit?

I have to sleep in front of one! But only for my 45...

Yep, hated that, and cattle trucks, when I used to do nights out.

I'm now only 1.5 miles short of last year's cycling distance of 2641.72 miles. I feel confident I can beat that this year,maybe by lunchtime.

They get knocked down, but they get up again.

Failing that @User9609 you could always stick the Gladioli in your back pocket, sing out of tune and act drunk, they might think you're famous.
