I found I had to go back to page 6000 just to get back to about this time last year.
They really are popping on!
They really are popping on!
They, like sadly Opel Manta A series are getting rarer and rarer.
I loved mine, it was the first car I ever did 100 mph in, and the faster it went the better it settled into/onto the road. Sadly a 4 geared one but still, and it was reasonably economical. You do still usually see at least one at car shows.
Got written off just after I got the new MOT on it
. A line of cars got rearended, I was the front one. All started by a learner driver, with 3 mates in the car, was trying to change a cassette just coming off a roundabout and never noticed a whole line of stationary cars waiting for the woman in front of me to turn right. about 4 or 5 all right offs. everyone got whiplashed too as so many cars then didn't have headrests. We, my ex, and I did too. Must have been in 1983.
I just thought I'd say I have just strung our onions. Never had to do that before as we have never had such a good crop! I used the Jack Hargreaves method. Seemed to go OK. We'll see!
But what I would really like to ask is, do you have a favourite way of preserving Haricots Verts? We have a glut and are wondering if it would be simplest to freeze them, presumably after blanching Don't fancy preserving them in jars, I am the only one to eat them so small frozen packets would be simpler.
What do you think?
Today I have mostly been pulling yet more weeds out of me grass. Got a triangular strip along the side of the driveway about 8 metres long and 2 metres wide at one end, with soft borders full of shrubs. Three days (well, part days, I ain't that hard a worker) to clear it of bindweed and plantain (not the bananas, lawn weed type). There was that much of it, there is hardly any grass left. So gave it a rake over and chucked some grass seed over it. Leaving it to the weather to water it (had a few showers already), no doubt the spuggies and meeces will have their share.
Have been logging everything I eat and drink for me diabetes 2 avoidance programme, on their app thing. I have been recording it in text form, gets a bit annoying doing it every time I scoff something. But it does monitor the nutrition I am getting and I can see what I need to top up on or what is at optimum level etc. Tonight I found out how to take a photo of what is on me plate, and the app works out what it is and does the rest. Much easier, and it was bang on accurate.
On a scale if 1 to 10, how perishingly difficult is it?
Have you found them to be a lasting repair?
I'd give it 2 or 3 spanners on the Haynes scale (out of 5), quite simple to do but fiddly. The glued joint will outlast the rubber, the secret is to keep the joint spotlessly clean and don't get any grease on it. The weakness is the same as on an original boot, the hose clip type thing at the large end. Got to be really tight to stop it slipping off, I have had success using a zip tie, but again must be tight.
Storm building up outside, flickers of lightning in the distance.
He's certainly persistant.. but adorable..
Bit like a pet tapeworm.
Nice fred all the same, good peeps ere.
Promised fundy etc, still waiting.
Some steady long term rain would be welcome, seagull poop is a git to shift when its dried on.
We have it here right now. Not really bad yet, but enough to force me to turn the WiFi off. So I am paying to chat to you!!!
Chucking it down now, lots of special effects too!
Awful things, I was at a party & this lad fell asleep so this bird superglued his hands together
