Have to, it's famous 😀

Must admit, I'd keep the Moonshine toolbox!!! Only kidding!!

Struggling to chuck stuff away Shall I, Sharnt I, it might come in handy one day 😀

Getting rid of a tratter?

Front lawn done, just the back to do then I can start sorting some scrap out 🙂

Afternoon folks :). Cut the front grass this morning, nearly filled the little trailer with the cuttings, chucked that all out on the common after. It worked up a sweat and soaked my shirt. think I will leave the strimming of the edges till...

After all this time the plastic is breaking down and you can smell/taste petrochemicals perhaps? China or glass always here. :)

Put a loop of red tape or steal some red nail varnish as an indicator to refresh you memory or it will bite yer bum later ...

Painted up the light housings because I couldn’t bear to put them back in like that. Will order some new plastic ones as I’ve had to punch a big hole through them for the wiring relay. Replaced 3x leak off pipes which were also very much past...
