The local radio presenter just announced that Cambridge United have played 2 games back to back. Presumably 3 hours of football, that’s quite impressive.

I had some vouchers from my family for my burpday (Amazon). Being a middle aged bloke, with too many bikes, I don't really need anything. I always ask for socks for Christmas - that had been fulfilled ! :whistle:

I have an Anker Soundcore 2, bluetooth speaker, that is amazing for the size - we take it with us when we go away, or to the caravan, and it's been known to follow me round the garden when gardening. I was thinking about their more expensive speaker that's the same size, but saw they have a new bigger one with a handle (Motion Boom). It was 10% off and with vouchers meant I only needed to plump up £5.99.

It arrived about 7:30 this morning. It's incredible. Really good bass and you can control the equaliser with an app if you so wish. Highly recommended for £80.99 !

BTW, you do know that they used to race Morgan 3-wheelers back in the day. And still do in the VSCC-run series. :smile:
Yep some of the best racing, quite a few Husband and Wife teams too like Bill & Maggie Tuer,

You speak of wooden vehicles.....here's one I made last year.......The first shot is a pull out table underneath the sleeping area. The last one is the ends folded down to make it easier to tow. My Honda Element can pull it as I'm guessing it weighs about 46.4 stone. I live at the base of a mountain or two and perhaps I'll spend a little time in it next summer beneath the whispering lodge pole pines, or maybe in the cottonwoods in the Bosque along the North Platte somewhere near our little town.
Looks like a Basque Shepherds' trailer.

Post just came with two sets of bulbs. Well it should have been two sets of bulbs but one packet only had one MR16 bulb in it instead of two.:wacko:

This MR16 LED bulb is vicious! It has a aluminum case that has slots, presumably to help with the cooling, but the fins are sharp. I now have a plaster on my thumb. I'm replacing all the incandescent MR16s with LED versions after discovering that the light in the en-suit that no longer work had been running off underrated transformers that had got rather warm.:eek:

The other bulbs were hoped to be suitable to replace the candle bridge bulbs, 12v 48w, that appeared to be just wire ended bulbs stuck in a plastic holder. They were successful, just a bit fiddly threading through the holes.
 
Overcast and much milder than of late here chez Casa Witty, but that brisk breeze certainly has a bite.

Spent the morning liberating and hauling firewood from the tangled mess that the drainage board left. I came back with a wheelbarrow full of 3 feet lengths of stuff that's around three inches in diameter, all trimmed and ready to be sawn into logs.

Will be having lunch shortly, then it's back out to tackle some of the larger stuff. No need to leave the gate for exercise! :laugh:
