So the police say don't travel tomorrow.
There are 14 Scottish football matches scheduled with fans merrily criss-crossing the country. Do those in charge of kissy-ball have the gumption to actually cancel games in advance? Do they heck!
Storm Bert: Police warn against road travel on Saturday
Amber weather warnings for heavy snow are in place for much of Scotland on Saturday.

Going out with some friends (birthday) for a meal tomorrow, its good to catch up.
Relaxing weekend for the workers. I have to empty the trailer of sand so its ready to get wood up to the house, and I really should look at the choke mech on the quad, it dont pull/work anymore.
Right gonna finish now as I have already added to many jobs to my own list.

Well the fog light went in, and the reversing light on the other side too as well as replacing the rather dark indicator bulb.....
BUT!!!!
(You knew this was going to happen didn't you, seems to be my month, or is it the year, for this?)
As I was removing the offside cluster, the clear perspex screen that covers it, and had been hanging on by its fingernails, as I discovered at MOT time, came "detached". Luckily it didn't break or fall.
Nowt forrit but to take it indoors and clean it throughly prior to some fiddly work with sellotape. Hain't got no proper waterproof tape, that will have to wait until I can get some.
I will research what to stick it back together with. 2 pack expoxy I expect. It is obvious that Citroen's own glue ain't all that brill.
And when I did the nearside I noted it had started to part company too so did a "stich in time" operation on that one too.
I may have been a little hasty about how I thought Citroen had designed all bulb holders to be specific. I looked more closely at the ones on the nearside and came to the conclusion they were all the same. Haven't checked back on the offside as not really that bovvad and CBA to detach the gas ram, take out the starbolts etc etc.
4th day without CH. Getting used to it but it isn't funny any more. Wondering what a 2kw electric fan/convector heater on pretty much 15 hours a day, is costing? Answer 22.35 p/Kw/hr will be our new rate, the old rate must be more Which it is so about £4 a day. Well that would be on full time and full power, which it isn't but it makes you think.

I have been freezing my nethers off in my little workshop.
It is tedious making ring-plates 42mm ID 62mm OD out of 3mm sheet steel on a lathe.
Lots of operations for very little progress, but we got there.
This is the result below. A Two Wheel Drive (2WD) unit for a pedal car racer. Itcan have any 10Spd cassette mounted to it and it is compact and pretty lightweight. Those are all the main parts all stacked together and held there by gravity. Some bits get welded together (bottom 3 elements) but the top 2 are bolted to the rest with small M5 bolts locking the upper and lower rings together and fitting in between the teeth of the sprocket you can just see sandwiched between the 2 ring-plates.
I am pleased with how it has come out.

Clear CT1 is a good allrounder and a tad flexible good for mating different materials together do a search on it's specified useWell the fog light went in, and the reversing light on the other side too as well as replacing the rather dark indicator bulb.....
