...that I am "unwell". 
Very little sleep last night because of "hack-hack-hack" coughing.
Throat is so sore I cannot swallow my own spit without thinking "ouch that hurts".
Nose is running (not snot, just water).
Feel like the very devil. Arghhhhhhhhhh!

Looks like some progress then. I can't quite work it out from the pictures - has enough been done that you can re-mount the radiator?
Tell him the ceiling (above) said get a move on!
It's finished according to plastereerComing Thursday pm to put skirting boards back
No mention of re fitting radiator yet

..that the LATHE has landed.
Snowing here!
Now I need to work out how to get it working.
3 very nice gentlemen have just delivered the lathe I bought on e-Bay.
It is a little Boxford AUD (Serial Number 12161 and it appears (to my eyes anyway)to be in pretty good nick.
The ways are sound and unmarked, the slides are all silky-smooth and with no discernable backlash.
It came with:
An engineers surface plate- goodness that's heavy.
A full set of cutting tools (mostly unused).
A set of 24 collets and two collet arbors, but no drawbar.
A set of 4 tool posts and tool-holders of different style/flavours.
A micrometer carriage stop.
A standard carriage stop.
The backplate on there has an index (72 position) and an index pin mounted on the headstock. Don't think that was standard?
There is a backplate for clamping items to as well, and a drive dog.
@fizzy on the mig forum gave me some good advice on how to move it, but in the end the seller popped up and said "my mates in the moving business" and for £150 they brought it here and I didn't need to lift a finger.
I will give it a clean and lube and sort out a VFD (3-phase). Really pleased I am.
UPDATE:
I just took another look at it, and....
In the centre section of the cabinet I found:
A Pratt-Burnerd 4-Jaw Chuck
A fixed Steady.
A travelling steady.
The draw bar for the collet set.
Stone me, I think the 2 chucks are worth as much as I paid for the whole shebang. PMSL
Looks like a nice, workmanlike bit of kit. Good to see you've got it under cover too and they didn't just leave it in the garden under a tarp. You've done quite well for accessories too - I can see extra chuck jaws and a few other items knocking about. Is that the index plate I can see behind the chuck?
You'll find the lathe has as much of a medicinal effect for your respiratory ailment as anything you get from a doctor.
That's what I thought he would do but it's hard work getting them to do anything

Yes, the 72-point (why that number?) is behind the chuck. I reckon it will be because 72 is a magic number divisible by all too many other numbers. 72/36/24/18/9/8/6/4/2/1. Just like why the Old UK pound was best @ 240 Pence.

Maybe, but maybe not...
" For Jesus, carpenter work may have been more about working with limestone rather than timber. And, if we expand the definition further to include all-purpose craftsmen, then we may be looking at an occupation that is similar to a modern handyman, skilled in a variety of building and repair work."
But in Aramaic, "The term carpenter may correspond with the Aramaic word ‘naggar,’ meaning ‘a learned man.’"
As you say, so long ago, who gives a monkey's?
