Suggestion for next year - as soon as the strawb starts to turn red, pick it and get it inside to safety. I always let mine ripen on the window sill just for that reason.It is a beautiful mornin' 'ere, too, but it is tinged with a bit of sadness as I got up to find that my entire strawberry crop had been decimated by a blackbird.He just couldn't wait for his designated supply of blackcurrants to ripen and I was so looking forward to enjoying the succulent flavour of my one and only strawberry.
I've gone back to bed with my cuppa to try to get over the disappointment.
Sorry to hear this sad news. RIP Strawberry.It is a beautiful mornin' 'ere, too, but it is tinged with a bit of sadness as I got up to find that my entire strawberry crop had been decimated by a blackbird.

You are right, I'll learn a big lesson from this devastating event.Suggestion for next year - as soon as the strawb starts to turn red, pick it and get it inside to safety. I always let mine ripen on the window sill just for that reason.

Last reading was 3.4cm , now its 3.5cm so it has changed but not by much.
How/why I suddenly notice it so much must be because I am now very nearly a "skinny bastard"

Eye fink a lot of peeps find that out. Some go for the full restore from the beginning and don't realise how much time it takes. Others just want to do certain bits... and slowly get dragged into a full restore. All part of the fun of ownership.

Yep, I got dragged into a full-ish restore... was originally just going to replace rear cross member. Trying not to replace everything!! All 3 doors are shagged and they can stay that way. Don't have to worry about dents or people stealing them
Main parts have been replaced, chassis and bulkhead.
