Georgie has come in . He walked straight past me and has gone up to bed .

I will go up in a while and see if he wants a chin rubs .

He's got you well trained.

Chutney is nearly done. Jars have been washed and dried, ready to be filled.

Just taking a bit of time out with a and a biskit.

Just had a video call with Tinybug, who got a vaccination against some nasty tic borne disease today. This phased her not a bit.

She was allowed to choose a plaster, so naturally she went for the Skull and Crossbones...

In the days when I maintained teleprinters, nail length was critical for picking up screws, nuts & washers I dropped on the floor.

Incidentally, it was remarkable how often said object managed to secrete itself in trouser turn ups.

I used to do repairs to knitting and associated machinery for our own business. Tiny nuts or screws usually secreted themselves underneath anything to be found up to about 6ft away from the drop point. Myself and a couple of the girls could be found crawling around with torches or handheld lamps searching the floor. Must have looked a bit strange to anyone coming in unexpectedly.
The sizes and threads were usually non standard and not easy to replace. I ended up cannibalising spare machines sometimes.

Chutney made and jarred up. This one packs some serious *ooomph* from the chilli and ginger.

Now time to clear up, make a sammich and watch the footy.

Such diseases used to be confined to mainland europe but are now appearing in the uk. Lyme disease used to be the only one here but that is now changing.

Georgie must have sneaked out as he wasn't upstairs. When I came down he was on the back of a chair . He then went into the kitchen where I gave him some treats. Outside we had a brief silent chat before he went off . He's not behaving like normal .

It appears I need a camshaft position sensor. I will check with the motor factors tomorrow but initial search on Ebay suggests they're not very spendy. Also very convenient to change right on top of the cam cover.

Hopefully it will restore my Skoda's performance from it's current glacial acceleration to it's more usual arthritic tortoise acceleration.

Chicken and chutney sandwich and a for supper.

 

[Reynard]

Woo hoo, woo hoo hoo!!!

Woo hoo, woo hoo hoo!!!

We're on our way to Wembley, I think...

Result aside, that was a good game to watch.

The adverts on here seem to think I *really* need to buy a pith helmet.

Nothing to do with the last line of this post is it?
