Good morning from a still chilly Suffolk where a few clouds have started drifting across a formally clear blue sky. Another XL coffee has been had to use up the last pods as I've got more arriving on Wednesday (hopefully).

Only one thing to do today - I've got a couple of the older Kindles with the buttons on the side (4th gen?) which will shortly lose all support from Amazon, so I need to download all the books previously deleted just in case. The other one is a 10th generation which should be OK for a while.

Once that's been done, there's the probability of a ride out, drinks and then train home happening.

Morning trip to town for a few treats for Mrs 73's birthday breakfast. Then called into local Tesco on way home for some flowers. Just laid out a treat trail down the stairs and to the kitchen. Ready for when Mrs 73 get's up after her lay in , as we've nothing planned for the day she fancied a lazy day instead.

That's nice

I am trying to find another one all will be revealed soon

 

[Gravity Aided]

Thanks. I don't think I will need it as it won't get much use even if I get it to run. I have am trying to get the motor running at the moment.

Keep us posted.

Keep us posted.

My brother had a look at it and checked it with meter and it seems that the steel wire which applies pressure to the brushes is corroded and not making electrical contact so I'll have a go at cleaning it up.

May have bought a small Italian car via a quite cheeky bid: https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/the-little-run-about-thread.281394/page-10#post-7611022

Fiat accompli?

Afternoon stroll completed

My working day is completed
Front lawn has been trimmed and raked
Just the rear lawn to do after tea

Fiat accompli?

Only if it works out OK. And a plan to collect in mid-Wales, with SWMBO driving me over, has turned into a day trip by train for the both of us to Pontcysylte Aqueduct with lunch, then collecting the car which is a few streets away.

And it's not a Fiat

And I do hate dodgy eBay sellers

Bought what was described as two chairs. Seller gets in touch saying it's only one chair. Then gets in touch again wanting me to cancel the order and pay extra

We're heading to an eBay report about their dodgy behaviour.

In contrast we recently sold something on vinted , the buyers postage option is not available round us. Mrs 73 contact them and said he did not care how much send it via Royal Mail. Mrs 73 agreed to do it via PayPal , yesterday she check and not only has he paid for the item but sent even more than the postage cost.
