Cooooeee. I to have been awake for ages. Horrible here, rain, wind and mist over the forest. Very yucky.

Stay safe peeps

Good morning all.
A breezy and cloudy start to the day here. Heavy showers are forecast for much of the day.
All the usual things to do and I think it will be a domestics kind of day .

Good morning from a drizzly Dorset. We are collecting granddaughter from School this afternoon, thunderstorms are forecast so we'll get an earlier bus than usual, and if there's no delays we can take refuge in the Goat and Tricycle which is handily located directly across from the school 😁
Overnight one of the wildlife cameras picked up what at first appeared to be a small mouse, closer inspection revealed that it was a moth, clambering through the leaf litter. Last night saw a couple of foxes, three cats, a hedgehog and a couple of wood mice in our small enclosed garden😎

Grey and breezy, showers.
Yesterday went from really windy glorious sunshine to showers on rinse and repeat.
Chores, admin etc today. Supposedly a better day tomorrow to do stuff outside.

More Raleigh Wisp fettling to do whilst I wait for parts to be delivered in readiness for the rebuild.
Off out this evening for the bike night at the White Horse.

Bit grim here, it's like autumn windy, wet and chilly.

Good morning. I's wet, grey, a bit blowy and cold.......welcome to June in Lancashire. Yesterday was wetter and colder. The good news is my butts are full, not that anything needs watering! Well, I have finally worked out what day it is. Thursday. We had all the grandchildren over Monday and Tuesday. They were whacked out, Nana and Granddad where whacked out. I had to go back to bed at 11.00, most of the day was a write off. Sleep has now been slept and I'm busy catching up.

Ebay!!!!! I've used it happily for 30+ years I suppose, occasional buying and selling. My current experience is dreadful, the first I've had in all that time. I ordered two tubes of "Magic Mould Extreme gel." It's a gel for applying to surfaces that get mouldy and are difficult to clean. I use it on the washing machine seal, the gel stays in place while it works, then wipes off. Great stuff. I received two tubes of I don't know what as all the text is in Japanese or Chinese. I requested a refund and offered to return the product. This is a very difficult process. Couldn't make it work. I've asked the guy numerous times for a printable label - all he does is send me a bar code. I raised a PayPal dispute and got my money back in minutes. I really want to return the product. It's becoming a matter of principle now. I'm so attempted to give the seller a really bad review but I'm certain he'll do the same to me........my keyboard will remain untapped.

Ironing and chores to do next. #1SP managed to pull down the curtains in her room on Monday evening. We laughed a lot. Truly.

Sunshine and showers here in East Cambs, will pop in to town and then it will depend on the weather as to what gets done today if anything.

 

[Drago]

Heavy showers and blustery winds here in the armpit of the shires. Will finish music practice then out to the garage to do a bit of work on the C70.

Catching the No 14 bus into town for my swimming session as the stop has a shelter whereas the No's 17 & X7's doesn't.

I could actually save £3:60 on swimming by standing in the garden in my speedos and flapping my arms & legs around!! ☔☔☔

Well the Meatloaf concert was cancelled at the beginning of May, we only found out last night whilst standing outside the venue door, so to save the evening we spent it down in The Cavern and caught the last train home, a great evening was had.

@Dave7 what do you reckon?
Could do with your opinion.
Ring gaps measure at 20 thou.
Piston to bore clearance is 2 thou.
Wotcha reckon?

TBH i prefer to see these things close up but my 1st recommendation is to open your ring to its max and slide the piston in. You will immediately know if its the right fit.
