I didn't log on yesterday so I missed your birthday @biggs682 , I hope you had a good one!

Everybody seems to be having their Covid jabs now but I haven't heard anything yet. :sad:

Still no angle grinder. Tracking number just says its 'in transit', which it has been since the 7th (the day it was supposed to be delivered!). I know Covid is delaying deliveries but more that 9 days to get from Leicestershire to Bedford seems rather a lot.

Morning .
I had a tiring day yesterday playing Scalextric and toy cars. Apparently small Matchbox cars are supposed to fit in large Corgi vans. In all my years I never knew that ! :wacko:
Today it started off sunny It has now clouded over a bit. I thought that I might be able to get out for a ride but he decided to play Scalextric instead of going to the park .
 

DCLane

Found in the Yorkshire hills ...
Tried to fit a gear cable to the Raleigh thing I'm very slowly working on. Only, having worked out how to get it out of the 1960's twist grip 3-speed shifter, did I find out I'd bought the wrong one. Note: the bike's a bitsa from a 1972 Raleigh Superbe? plus what appears to be a 1966 3-speed ladies town bike. The wheels / shifters / saddle / chainguard / mudguards are from the ladies bike. So the only thing I've managed to achieve is removing a spring clip :blush:

Found the right one as NOS on eBay in the right colour and white ribbed, which is what I'd wanted originally but couldn't find so bought a cheap black one instead :huh:

White ribbed on the way. Found white ribbed brake cable set as well.

Had a coffee and a biscuit to console and congratulate myself :whistle:
