Morning all, rain has hit (overdue) so it’s a little cold and damp. Back on the plastering game today after fives days off. I cut next doors hedge yesterday as a neighbourly thing to do and to stay out of trouble.

...enjoy day

Morning All

Breakfast has been enjoyed (B & E) and coffee glugged down.

All one side of the fencing got finished by the boys last night before dark.
The second side should be done today and should be a lot easier as the ground is less concrete strewn.
The back fence will come last.
Ho-Hum, off we go. Have a great day everyone.

Or, get up and enjoy life. Simple. My philosophy is to make the most of what you have and enjoy what you are doing

Nightmare!
The floor mounted dip switch was actually a bit of a nightmare too, although sooo common.
Shifting it to a stalk was a good idea as you often wanted to change gear at the same time as dip the lights.
And yet again, what if you wanted to change gear at the same time as wash the screen?
But I had at least two Minis where the screen wash pump was on the dash and once the nylon pipes deteriorated you found yourself washing your hand rather than the screen.
But I adored the starter switch in the floor!
)

I have an old car with floor mounted headlight dipping. More than once have tried to double de-dip when driving at pace down country lane and meeting oncoming vehicle.

The floor mounted screen wash had the bonus of being able to choose if the dribble went to top or bottom of screen but also had the lucky dip option of a sock full of water.

Wifey's Pluriel has character too. Not just having a gear lever AND flappy paddles to change gear.
But the weird and wonderful roof that opens into 4 configurations, or 5 if you take the pillars/hoops out.
which we have yet to dare do!
Bring it on!

Am pretty sure Land Rover did that many options yeeaaaarrrs ago

They even did the googles and protection from bugs in the mouth option

Hummmmm maybe that option would keep the passenger quiet

Sorry no flappy paddles though am pretty sure the gearstick flapped around a bit

Good evening from Lancaster.
Why do places close at 16.00hrs & open up at 08.00hrs. Don’t forget the dinner break as well.
how do they survive?

I dunno who the Asian bird is that's presenting the snooker on the Beeb, but I would.

Hi all.
This is mad, but mysteriously, during the night, the usb cable connecting my keyboard to my laptop got cut and removed,,
So I can,t even strip the bits back and reconnect them
I am doing this on Wifey’s iPad, which she hates.
So au revoir until I get a new keyboard.
This is a true mystery.
