"little old"? what model? regardless, how lucky are you?!

I actually have two of those cables. They are for the original GoPro Hero, not the HD model, yet still quite suited for my needs. It takes regular AAA batteries and a regular SD card, not one of those micro SD . I would guess it to be 12 years old. The price was right. I think shipping cost more than the actual item.

I've been to Timbertops Stables to drop granddaughter No.1 off for her riding lesson. Ah, the joys of driving on the A2 and the A20 and passing though Lewisham on a Saturday! I may dedicate the rest of the day to staying indoors. It's windy.

The whole Cabdoodle? Might have two halves which I can glue back together. Also have to find my round tuit.

I found my round tuit a couple of weeks ago, but I've now lost it again.

How much on the day?

We never stocked stuff like that but I knew a few small businesses who made such things and since they appeared at trade shows over several years they must have sold them to somebody.

I did mine about the same time and had to go round a smallish square so many times my clutch hand was nearly falling off. For the emergency stop the tester more or less semaphored when he was going to do it. I guess he did not want to get rammed by standing in front of me in case I did not stop in time. That was it and passed first time. I already had a car license so had the highway code off pat.

I've just noticed that it has become grey and foreboding outside. Luckily I'm on the right side of the window.

 

[classic33]

These adverts are getting ahead of themselves.

 

[Oldhippy]

That's planning ahead!

Not as much damage outside as I expected. The barriers they put up to reduce the bellmouth at the school entrance have been blown into a heap. No idea what they are supposed to achieve but is probably an infringement of the planning laws. At the start of the pandemic it clearly was to stop entry to the school in working hours but not now.
Some lost looking tourists wandering around peering in shop windows but little road traffic around.
Ferries are trying one run from Oban and a couple from Lochaline but tomorrow is still doubtful. No doubt they will send a flurry of text messages at 0530 tomorrow morning but I do not intend to go anywhere off island anyway.

The examiner did say I didn’t use fourth gear enough He should try getting any higher on a figur of eight circuit were it wasn’t possible to get up to twenty fiveMPH
