She is getting to be very expert in jewellery. She buys very well. One of her birthday presents will be a book on gemstones. We got the lady in the shop to show us the ones she uses and discussed which one would be best.
Reminds me I'd better get a search going on amazon as I'll have to find it secondhand.
She gave me a book last Christmas that she had been looking for for 2 years. On the same subject as the DVDs. When summat is out of print there is no other easy way.
Except eBay I suppose.
This is my book I use.

Palmes d'or maybe, but there are others in similar bots.
Good on you re the led torch, I now have two rechargeable head ones ones that come in handy for the most mundane things, like putting the bins out!!
But the handtorch that W bought me years ago is mega powerful and the bat lasts ages. Plus it zooms to "searchlight" and came with a thing that holds 3 AAA batts for if you want to do that while the main batt is being charged.
Scroofix had an offer on last week on LED rechargeable headtorches for about £10. Tiltable rechargeable. I bought it on impulse while picking up summat else. Sadly tis better that the one costing 3 times that dottir got me for Xmas.

good things.

Yup thats the brand spot on there laddie. ;) Think these little ones the battery lasts for an hour but they are mega bright.
 
Depends on the power you use em at.
the scroo fix one has a "turbo" setting that would take the batt down ultra quick, but if you are sensible wiv em.

Oh yer it has turbo settings, you press it then again then the light dims a bit n so on. :)

Got a free 17mm halfords professional spanner yer its just came out the washing machine 🤣🤣
Must be one of the lads as we removed a generator from a old MOD barge thing which was getting converted into a house
boat but its popped a rivet & is leaking (sunk/flooded) I was using a 13mm spanner to bridge the starter (which I found on the barge) so ive ended up with a shinny 17mm haha. I shall see if there is any takers next week. :):)
