Three more engine stands fabricated - just need to spray them and they'll be ready to sell.

Went out on Bertie Bantam first thing; just up to the village to post something.
Every time I park it, I come back to find some misty eyed old chap ogling it. It then takes me 10 minutes answering questions and hearing about how they had one back in the day, before I can get away.

I had the same problem with my little Tiger Cub

Very pleasant day today, worked in the garden with the lovely Mrs Gunk, barbecue chicken for supper. I do love this time of year

They were great bikes. I never owned one but some mates did.

Busy, busy, busy........it's wet. All is good but non-stop visitors but I found time to visit B&Q. This is how it went.

Chorley BC has been delivering the new food waste bins throughout our area. Me at B&Q:

Me to lady: "Can you tell me where I'll find sticky numbers?"
B&Q lady: "You've got your new bins haven't you?"
Me: Yes, how do you know?"
B&Q: "Everyone's been in. We've got 6 and 5 left. Try Home Bargains"

🤣🤣🤣

Councils in Victoria Oz provide pre numbered bins.

G'day cobbers.
A bright but cool start to the day.
My 'get up and go' has definitely got up and gone. I feel very lethargic. I dont want to watch TV on a nice day but that's how I feel. Mind you, there are 4 matches including Lpool v Everton which should be a close one.
@PaulSB a decent result for your lads eh?

Morning all.
It's going to be a nice day so I will be outside in the garden for most of it.

Yes, though we should have won and with a quality striker would have been three up at half-time.

I dare not mention it in the football thread but Coventry aren't a particularly great team. Good for the Championship but we matched them blow for blow. Very vulnerable down the right, we had five or six beautiful crosses into their six yard box, all of which we failed to convert. That was just in the first half.

Nice sunny day in prospect.
Taking the pup out for a walk on the Quantocks before we go for lunch at the Railway Inn.

When you say "before WE go for lunch" is that you and the pup ?
