Right, the rear wing is now mounted properly on the roll cage (nothing glued in yet at this stage) with some new struts of the correct length. It's amazing how versatile wire covered in rolled paper can be. And that plastic box section has been a revelation. Here I've used it to make the sockets for said struts. But now that the wing is on the car, I'm REALLY not happy with the endplates, They are much too thick and don't look right, so I shall be making another pair. All in all, a satisfying evening's tinkering.

Lloyd Loom?

It is very heavy here so I didn’t bother getting up till 7.30. That’s the longest I’ve stayed in bed for ages.

I was tired yesterday . I had several naps . I had one around 11 , then another after Bargain Hunt and another later in the afternoon . In between naps I did some grinding and filing on my metal bits . Trying to figure out how to do the sides of the main helmet are causing a headache .

You mean you've never watched 'Allo 'Allo?!?!?!?!?!

Nope sorry!

I went for a short ride before my COVID booster along the canal.

Rain, wet cobbles and a canal don't mix well. Just about stayed out of the very wet stuff.

I'm consoling my dislike of injections with treacle sponge and custard at 9am

Must be time for breakfast soon

Dull but dry morning.
Not going anywhere as still testing positive for covid. Suppose to be getting bloods done on Tuesday but I doubt that will be happening. Second time I have had to cancel because of the virus.

Easing myself slowly into what looks to be a bright & sunny morning with a second mug of coffee while the washing machine does its stuff. I may give the lawn a quick mow later if it's dry enough.

That is excellent!

Weather here is meant to be sunny intervals and dry this morning. Instead it is grey, drizzling and very windy. 😠 However we are going to have sausages, mash and onion gravy for dinner tonight :silverlining:

Going to sail model boat!

Mild, blustery and a mix of sunshine and showers here chez Casa Reynard.

I slept well, but have the post-glue sneezies. Half an antihistamine has been duly administered.

Went for a nice walk around the community orchard and nature reserve this morning. I may have eaten a couple of Chivers' Delight and picked another basket of Murfitt's Seedlings... Met a fellow cyclist who was also picking apples - apparently he's only recently discovered the orchard. He had a very nice vintage steel bike - painted in flat grey, no decals or head badge, but there was a 531 sticker on the seat tube, nice almost gothic-style lugs and what looked to me like campy running gear.

This afternoon's task is to make quince jelly.

It is almost time for luncheon.
