I think the way things are going you need two forms of heating as things are so unreliable in today's markets, we have two and a 3rd for a backup. Life is hard at -15deg for prolonged periods 😵

I may still have it in my collection

...that following the departure of the CH engineers from hell yesterday their boss called this morning to ask how I found the new system. He was dismayed to hear my opinion of his minions and my disappointment in their general demeanour towards...

In the vid he slides all over it, very energetically. It looks like he was about to have a cardiac arrest by the end !

It was the R17. The Opel Manta was bought as a stop gap for £25, with a bad oil leak from the timing belt cover and front brakes with pads worn to the metal. Went on a 2 week holiday to Cornwall, drove around each day as it rained all the time...

Today's plans got a bit disrupted. "Er indoors was to got to M&S to collect something and I was to set off in me tratter an hour later, we would meet up at where I store me tratter while I am away (off to the sunny isle tomorrow). And she would...

Just the start be in full swing for the next month from cabbage to coriander and basal to beetroot when world war 3 starts we will say never mind business as usual 😉

The normal way to preserve any type of bean is to dry them ,but with green beans in the pods , we normally blanch and freeze but only pour boiling water over them to keep them crispy if you over Blanche thay go a bit limp and soggy, also we have...

I was tempted to sell the vinyl at one point but glad I didn't, not really due to the value but because they're nice to have and a link with the past. Some of ours are a bit ragged, the sleeves etc, and a few are damaged, there's nothing mega...

We've got these, some olives, some almonds and some citrus fruit, also pomegranates, avocados and figs. Its a bit windy and we lose flowers at the crucial time which reduces eventual crop plus water is always an issue. Early on we lost a few...

Also got hundreds of 45s but got rid of the LPs when we moved here big mistake when I look on the internet and the cost now made a lot of mistakes back then

I'm inpressed would love to grow them but to cold in the winter , also Olives , so I have just brought a olive grove further down the mountain, are thay desert or wine grapes ?

Jack did every thing to do with country life ploughing shooting fishing coopering cider making tractors cars not much he didn't make a program about man after my own hart

Its where the Justified Ancients of Mu-Mu live...

By the way I think it was "Ullo John! Gotta new Motor?" Can't put my hand on it at the moment, its in a big box under another big box but I recall he's leaning on the back of a Cortina on the cover looking like you wouldn't want to meet him up a...

This song has bin playing in me head since eye hurd it ont radio today.

Chucking it down now, lots of special effects too!

Storm building up outside, flickers of lightning in the distance.

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...

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...

Iffit looks like a tratter and smokes like a tratter... its probably the gasket again. Wot does we fink. 300 diesel?

Was that an Open Manta or R17? Either way a sad end. I saw a Manta near Faro and got a couple of pics, think it was an 'A', it certainly had old plates on it, the ones when Portugal had white on black raised plastic numerals which looked a bit...

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...

Rangie passed its MOT. ONLY 691 miles driven last year. I need to get something fixed on it though. New CV gaiter OSF. :(

Soon be 6789

Stomach area and they're going to check it every three months. Gonna carry on as usual, lifes too short to worry about death 🤔 :D:D

Excuse me, but that stinks. Or seems to. But then I suppose it depends on where it is. And how far it has gone. Still, feel sorry for you mate. No fun at all.:(:(:(

Unfortunately over 75's don't get offered surgery, just pills :confused:
