Afternoon folks:).

Just packed up tools after a bit more work, Nice to say that I was back in shorts and a light raggy shirt & no socks:D.

well the bloke has put his horses(3) and cows (2) in the fenced area and we had to get the little ****land back in again:). He can obviously get out somewhere but then dont have enough smarts to get back:rolleyes:.
A bit of advice that a welding glove and rubber crocs are a great defense against the electric fence:), But when you lift it to let the ****land back in dont touch the chain around her neck:eek:. Yep I got jump started and the ****land wasnt to happy either:oops:.
So had to regroup and make it a 2 person job:D:D.

Cooling off and getting ready to crack a beer to watch the F1, lets see how nice the kids play this week although they are a fair way away from each other this week:).

Enjoy the rest of the day:D
Are we there yet @derwendolly :D:D.

Hi mate!
Are you sorted out for your trip back to Blighty yet?
Just saying as yessdi we used the PCR kits I mentioned and you need to know your NHS number if you do it this way, otherwise it's easy, and cheap.
 
Did an oil service on dottirs focus this morning. Its got minimal ground clearance, tyres are too wide for me old ramps, me home made plank technology ramps are not quite enough height so it was an awkward job. I kept getting me bod stuck on the underside to get at the filter which is at the rear of the engine and above the drive shafts. Luckily the filter was not put on by a gorilla and it came off by hand - just as it should. Gonna have to add another plank to the home made ramps to thicken them up for next service. Another two inches should do it (no actresses or bishops were harmed in this post). Any road up, job done and beer is served :D

Have looked for when I do come back, I still have an NHS number but not sure it will be valid. I will stay with a friend who has done this so she knows and drop off boxes close, till I get my negative result back(2 days) before I go and see parents and Bruv.
But its delayed a little as he is in ospital this week (if there's a bed:mad:) to get him off the opioid drugs:(.

Spoke to him and he is upbeat.:):(.

Get yerself some HippoRamps (TM)
 
Just ordered new underwear and trowsis.
Wifey is now happy.:):):):):)
Whata battle to find ornery pants in amongst the trendy cr@p on sale at M&S or John Lewis.:(

Did something yessdi I've never done afore. Patted the Disco on the bonnet and muttered something like "Well done old girl" as she managed to bring us home, albeit I didn't dare push her much beyond 55 mph all the way cos of her thrum thrum.
Must be getting soft!!;)
Anyway, when I topped up the tank yessdi showed how much more economical it is driving at that speed and honestly it didn't take us that much longer.
Enjoy the rest of your Sundi peeps!:):):):)

Don't know if I've asked this afore, but why do you not use axle stands?
