Morning all, glorious down here this morning, took the bike to work for a play on the Devon B roads, typically the misfire has reappeared and its awful below 3000 rpm, its fine above that so the dual carriageways were a breeze!

A big op at The Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead involving clamping off the heart, ICU on a ventilator then weaning me off it. He said I should be prepared for lots of tubes etc and to be in hospital for 2 weeks.

The surgeon reassured me that he will have another vascular surgeon to assist. To access the aneurysm, he will have to remove the bowels and after the graft has been fitted, the bowels will be put back in.

Before that he is referring me to a cardiologist to make sure my heart is able to withstand the op during and after. If it isn’t, he said there will be another plan.

Not the best news, but I will just have to get on with it.
OMG! Phil, that is not good, the very best of luck and we will be thinking of you.

Plugs and leads for starters? (Assuming that it has leads???) Enjoy the 3000+ rpm ride.

Cool

Afternoon all.

Washed and waxed Banana, then done the same to my neighbours car. I clean Marion’s car every two weeks.

Done the washing and got it out on the whirly gig.

Screwed the parasol base down, replaced the granite weights. And now sitting under the brolly with a cuppa.

Leads are the main suspect mate.

Carbon breakdown no doubt! Intermittent faults are the worst to solve.

Don't expect the bark and chips to stop the weeds. Front and side gardens have membrane and gravel but still get weeds appearing.

Ging actually forgot to order seeds for the birds so got some when I was out. The feeders had been empty most of the day til I got home, there was a right barney when the birds spotted they'd been refilled, knocking each other off the feeder perches etc

Well, after my hospital appointment there might be a light at the end of the tunnel . . . . however, knowing my luck its another train coming towards me!
