I had to repair my Biro with Sellotape.

Can't get spares any more. Maybe someone could print you a replacement part.

Maybe it's just my imagination but I believe Wilkinson Sword DE razor blades are nowhere near as good as they used to be. They seem blunt even straight from the packet.

Lovely sunny morning with a clear sky and virtually no wind.
I think I may be forced to finish scything the weedy [ wild flower] bit in my garden as the roads will be crammed.
The road down Loch na Keal appeals on a day like this but it is on a circuit much used by touroid in general and eagle searchers as well as otter searchers tho' the latter have been quiet recently.
There are usually a lot of climbers on Ben More as well but they are generally no problem since they start early and don't just drive around aimlessly.

My weight is down to 14st. 4 lbs now. It had crept up to over 16 St. when I was laid up. Getting there slowly.

Aaaargh... I *know* I scanned a stack of pages from the 90 and 91 International F3000 yearbooks last year before my scanner went t*ts up. Can I now find them? Like hell I can...
Sorry @Reynard I deleted the quote bit. I know the missing scan pain all too well.

Morning.
We were woken up early this morning , about 2 ish by a Georgie walking on us . He was happy to see us although we had trouble as it was dark . He eventually got tired of having strokes and went downstairs .
We hope that he is beginning to realise what he has been missing out on by staying outside .

If we are woken by paws on the duvet it normally means rain, followed by a duvet cover with grubby paw prints all over.

Congratulations! That's brilliant 💪🏆

Jobs just get bigger!
It started off with a flush which needed a de scale . Then it was a new flush . I then discovered that a new flush wouldn't fit the old cistern .
Sorted a new complete toilet .
Now there is a gap all around where the cistern will fit as the previous peep cut the tiles to fit around the cistern !
I have 2 of the old tiles and 3 similar style and colour . I need 6 if I removed the existing ones .
Removing the tiles would be more work but seems to be the sensible option .
This is turning into a saga !

I might cycle over to the car hospital in a bit to visit the Czech patient and see if the latest round diagnostics have revealed anything new apart from more expense.

I wish it would catch fire so I could claim insurance money.

Possibly "health & safety" regulations. ie. Razor blades must not be sharp enough for potential users to be able to cut themselves

My Derby DE blades caused plenty of escaped claret with a careless swipe this morning 🤕🙄

I'm having a break from it for a while .
I'm having a cup of coffee and listening to Pop Master.
The camera I bought a little while ago worked well at the Bournemouth Air Festival . I'm happy with the pictures I took. I haven't had time to go through them all yet .

I read that as a "Geordie" 🤣

Another mechanic has washed his hands on my Skoda and suggested someone else to look at it. It might me a worn timing chain causing a slight timing issue but he's not confident enough of that diagnosis to risk spending a lot of time and money and possibly still have the same fault. The best way to fix it he says would be to sell it and buy something Japanese!

This video cheers me up
