Tea? (Part 2)

Night night

 

[Night Train]

I've been up and about since 6.30am.
Had and and now going down to the workshop for a while before going outside to start rebuilding a stone wall. The wall belongs to the council and their bin lorry knocked it down about 5 years ago. Despite many reports they haven't bothered to repair it and I am sick and tired of it spoiling my view so I will repair it this week.

I have rebuilt it twice already, when my the builders knocked it over and then when I knocked it over with the AEC Matador.

Maybe the wall is trying to tell you something

 

[Gromit]

Off to the doctors, hopefully they wont fob me off with this clicky hurty arm, neck and left side back pain.

 

[Night Train]

I hope the doctor has something useful for you, Gromit, could be vague nerve/strain/pulled muscle/unknown thingy though.

 

[Gromit]

Was fobbed off. Take ibuprofen, sort posture out, oh and here's a self referral physio form, but only use it if you have tried the other things.

Doctors are so busy they haven't got time for patients these days. Also needed blood pressure check for contraceptive, as it is a new drug I am on. Needed to have it done two months ago, however I was away looking after my mum. Got a not to worry we only do this once a year. Grrr.

Looks like I will be going to the £50 an hour person recommended to me by a friend.

for Gromit. My GP is lovely. In fact, they all are at the surgery. Though one did tell me when I went in with a dodgy Achilles tendon that if I was a horse, I'd be put down.

NT, my dog woke me just before 7. She didn't need to go out, she just wanted to so she could lie in the sun.

I like the sound of your Doc

Just back from a 36 miler...started off very cold with a NW wind in my face but after an hour, blue sky and a tail wind to blow me home. I'm just drinking Elephant Bean coffee and eating banana cake.....and the giro is about to start. Life couldn't be any better

When I read that I thought you had said you were drinking an elephant

Dont panic I am eating your share cake I mean not porridge

 

[potsy]

I thought that talk of cake was banned in April.....have I missed something.....

By the way, I love porridge.....but not with salt

The talking scales have told me to 'stop eating cake, fatty' They also told Jo '1 at a time please'

No cake, biscuits, chocolate for a month*

*at least

So today!

I have found that binstores tend to be cool places. Smelly, but cool...

Treated myself to a bottle of chocolate milk yesterday, so I'll be drinking a lot of that with dinner!

I have been working hard today.

This morning my neighbour and I dealt with the pile of stone that was a wall. Not as easy as it sounds as the wall was well and truly buried in dirt, plants, shrubs and all sorts. We had to cut back the vegetation and then dig out the stones, the bricks and the huge coping stones.

We put the wall stones in my driveway to clean up and the copings were left near the wall on leaning against the tree. The brick part we lifted back into place for now and we will 'glue' it back in properly when we make up a mix of muck.

Then we decided, over a , to put the cut up car on my trailer. We were able to lift the parts of car intact which made the whole job quicker and easier. The suspension was then piled inside it.

I then went off to serve my time in woodwork class where I was showing a research student how to carve an elephant from a lump of Lime wood.

When I got back I loaded a whole pile of scrap steel on the trailer, then cut the car floor into three parts to make it easier to secure and and strapped it down. Yes, that is a BSO* in the back.

A box full of scrap aluminium went in the back of my car. Hopefully the trip to the scrap metal merchants in the morning should prove profitable.

Time for another

*The BSO was a Halford's special donated by another neighbour not so long ago, when it gave up the ghost. He replaced it with another Halford's special before I had the chance to put him right.
I saw him today and and asked if he wanted a brake lever to replace the plastic one that broke a few weeks ago. He asked me in to show me the bike. Not only was the brake lever still broken but the left crank had broken off and the BB was knackered. That, and the numerous other faults and failures, meant he didn't need a brake lever and will be donating that BSO to me too. I know I should have kindly refused but I could see the poor chap was stuck for disposing of it before he moved house so I said he could carry it over to my drive when he is ready. I shall point him in the direction of a local bike shop and give him some tips on sourcing a real bike.
