Arternoon all.
Had a big lie in today.
Still feckin cold snow melting a bit.
Wifey is out surveying the land margin cos she is convinced the new neighbour is pinching our land. She even thought, viewing it from the window, that he has "moved" the feck off big shed the previous owners left there.
We put up a fence on the land border then planted a long hedge of Leylandii. We can see through this now as he has had cleared the mountains of weeds, ferns, brambles that have grown there over the years the land has been allowed to go riot while the two ladies didn't decide to do anything with it once they split up.
Oh yep! Friday night inn Limoges, the hotel had no wifi, so had to watch telly.
Flicking through the channels trying to find summat worth watching came across the French version of Wheeler Dealers.
Was a joke!
Banter was pants. The Edd China character was a lecturer in disguise, the Mike Brewer character was a bald bearded little tw@t with nothing to say that was of interest.
Prices for repair etc were a bit more expensive: respray of a Fiat X19 which had been prepped and really wasn't that bad was €3000,
But then the original Brit progs are that dated it is a bit difficult to make comparisons. But at least it made it a bit easier to understand why classic car prices are so much higher in France.
The bit that made me squirm was when the "professor" showed us how to make a new front spoiler for it. A bit of fibre-glassing in a mould about 1 metre or less long, to go just under the middle. He barely mentioned the release agent, he got the layering etc right, but then proceeded to trim the excess hardened fibreglass off with a penknife and his bare hands
.
My ex-wife and I once had to look after a neighbour, who should have known better as he worked full-time fibre-glassing. He was doing a very similar job, making a front valance for a yank tank. He cut himself so badly he fainted in his kitchen while we were patching him up.
Anyway, she has come back and no, of course, he hasn't moved his shed.
The rest of her "report" I will not bore you with!!
Dinner calls.
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
