I ruined a 15mm spanner trying to undo a seized pedal. It's now too big to undo a 15mm nut without rounding it. However it's now just about big enough to undo a 16mm locknut on a cone.

I’ve got that t-shirt!

I replied to a post on FB about Chipmunk trainers at RAF Newton. Dad worked on them, it was his last posting before leaving after 22 years (i think) in the RAF.
Someone just replied, he and another had worked for dad there in 1974/75.

Just the fact he was remembered him is amazing, like a.little bit of him lives in the people he knew.

I feel quite emotional.now....

A ginger and white kitten with blue eyes wandered into my garden. I gave it some tuna. Hopefully it will be back again.

I've just found my parents wedding day photos and the gold printed paper invitation to the event on September the 15th 1956. I'm happy as I want to post the photos and a photo of the invite on my own Facebook page next Tuesday, on the 70th anniversary of their wedding. I was worried in case I found the items too late for their anniversary, but I now have them waiting to be posted on my Facebook page! :okay:

None.

that is one of the things that really puts me off about dogs. Just one of the things, I'm not a dog person at all.

I didn't used to be a dog person but I'm OK with them now, and I even like a few of them. No wet kisses though, that's absolutely disgusting. Also, while I'm happy to give them a pet I want to wash my hands straight away after.

Not trivial to me, it was my late parents 70th wedding anniversary today! Thank you Bert and Lois for being such wonderful parents!❤️🧐

I learned years ago never to trust someone who doesn't like dogs on at least some level.

That said...

I've never liked the licks either, but I accept it's an occupational hazard.

It depends on the dog, if I know they are clean, then... Well.
I will wash my hands/face, etc when I am licked ASAP.

Unlike most, it has nothing to do with poo, it's just I was terrified of the whole CjD thing when I was a kid and there was a thing for a while about saliva and Tonsils and so on.
You never know what they have been eating, although I realise that dog food will be a lot more safer now and besides, my views are a but out - dated, not that I can shake them.

Ironically, I'll happily kiss another person and gawd only knows what they have been eating/licking, etc.
