Morning All. :D Cool and threatening to rain. :( A Fox has done a poop right on our front doorstep. Nasty verminous things Foxes. :mad: Mini Club tonight, have a great day! :D

Morning All. :D Paper's got, and my coffee's hot. :) A shopping day. :( A much cooler day here for sure. Have a good day. :D

Why is there no serpentine belt around the alternator?

Well if it has been flashing all night then yes it is likely the alarm has been triggered. But if there was no sound at all it is also likely that the security settings are to sound the alarm sounder but maybe that has been disconnected? It is generally along these lines: Alarm System...

Morning All. :D Sunny & not raining, but pretty cool ATM. :) Poor night's sleep. :( Have a great day. :D

Yes, separate black piping was ordered for it. :D

...that the transformation of that old chair has begun. :) First coat of black satin finish acrylic. Needs more, but it is a start. She likes it and that's all that matters. :D

Morning All. :D Although today is MY "lie-in" day I am up and about because I cannot lie there any more. :( AND, now my other foot is showing signs of gout (painful to walk on). :( Not raining so I shall hobble round for a paper. :) Have a good day! :D

Now I've done it. 😟 Herself has rescued a 1930's ladies dressing chair from her mothers. It is a nicely made Loyyds Loom of London osier/wicker and bent wood framed affair with a proper wood/steel sprung framed seat. "WE" have decided to update it from its original pastel pink (then overpainted...
