I have a chicken leg in the oven with a tray of roasties and a pan of mixed veg on the stove.

I finished off my bowl of shaving soap this morning. It's amazing how long they last compared to the aerosol tins of gel.

Either would last me a very long time.

Maybe @Andy in Germany might suggest something?

Now you've got me wanting some roast vegetables.

While we're on the subject of vegetables, I failed to mention that, yesterday, whilst straining the water from the peas, two escaped and vanished down the plughole!!

I miss those peas 😔

Further to yesterday's cheese discussions, I've begun today with an online order of cheesy things from Little Bread Pedlar near London Bridge. These are cheesy things and they're really quite cheesy. I also ordered a wholegrain sourdough loaf. Once the rain has disappeared, I'll be off to collect them.

Never used to do things like that when my grandparents lived in Boss St.

Would be lovely if I had access to one. But I don't, so...

Right, that's the template drawn for the chassis platform. Makes it so much easier when you've got a set of drawings to work from.

Time for a well-earned and chocolate cake bar.

Will need to do some thinking before I can cut what is quite a complex, and in places rather delicate part, because it includes all the supports for the side irons and the front and rear bumpers. The piece of fibreboard I was hoping to use is, unfortunately, warped. It will be fine for some of the smaller bits, but no point using it for what is probably the most critical component of the entire build. I have some suitable pieces of plywood, but I'm not confident that's not going to splinter or break when it comes to the more fiddly sections.

I can already see that the next step will be making (and fitting) the side irons and the front and rear bumpers.

I'll need a picture. Would it be worth starting a thread in the hobbies section?

I suppose they wanted freedom; we should always give peas a chance...

I'll get a pic to you. Had been thinking about a thread, because I think I'm going to need plenty of advice along the way. I haven't built a model for well over 30 years, never mind a scratch-built one...

The theory and the design work is the easy bit for me, but it's the making side of things where I have little or no experience.

I bet there never used to be a Bermondsey Beer Mile either. Google tells me the baker's is a 5 minute bike ride from Boss Street. And there are at least 7 brewery taprooms on the way.

I think I remember seeing that the U-bend in the plumbing is called a pea trap in the USA.

Hah, that's apt!

Anyways, it's almost time to go and feed the cats, and then it will be time to go and feed me.

I got re-stocked with Marmite so disaster averted.
