Worth getting him a phone with call guardian. Really stops the cold calls. You do need to set it up with 'allowed' numbers first. Otherwise, it's an answer machine, that then phones through to let you know who is on the phone - the caller gives their name, and then you decide when to answer. It's completely blocked all the cold calls we have (even with TPS)

I have call guardian on my phone. As you say it stops all the cold calls, and the automated calls. Genuine people can give their name, and then you can add them to a list of telephone numbers.

The only drawback is when banks want to ring when I want to set up a new direct debit, but I can imagine that would not be a problem for older people.

4.30pm and there is still some daylight!

I will soon be able to get busy in the garden.

Here is the afters. That is filing and polishing up with Meguiars all metal polish and cotton cloth . You can get a good shine just by using a small dab .

Nice job, on the third picture whats the mark on the bottom bracket end? 165 crank, my favourite length.

I get calls from medical sources but a variety of numbers including an 0800 sometimes. Don't think it would help me much. Anyway I have number display and if I do not recognise the caller I ignore the call. Anybody important will leave a message on the answer machine or call my mobile.

There are some deep marks near the square taper hole which are too deep to file out . It looks like someone might have used a ball joint separating tool to remove it . There is another small gouge which I filed down but there is still a bit left . There is plenty of metal in the arm so I could file it down a bit more .
There is a gouge worn in to the pedal end caused by either a pedal , shoe or leather strap .

I sourced replacement rubber ferrule/grippy things for my crutches. A job for the morning.

Anyways, it is almost time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

It appears that I put a piece of mundanity in the wrong thread

There's some woods nearby that have a huge carpet of Snowdrops once they all pop up. I'll take a photo when they do.. 👍

My brother infuriates me ! My wife and I were just talking about how he won't write a will . He thinks that it would be tempting fate . My wife said that we have had one for 40 years . I said that I've tried using mine several times !
