Morning all raining here.
For the last two days been hard at work cleaning sons car.

WHY

Looking after it as he cant drive for weeks when snapped his achilles tendon.

why so long cleaning
Idiot next door decided at some time to cut 2 cast iron posts with an angle grinder the fillings and dust must have covered the car.after a couple of days
with it getting wet from the frost the fillings had turned to rust and his blue car turned red.
Was in possible to wash of or polish off.
Had to very carefully with wet and dry rub down every panel then t cut
Nearly done that stage then get polished up.

Good morning Freddie, how are you? I missed your MOT report. Lots of rain last night. We were thinking of going camping to the Massai Mara over Easter. The weather forecast is 38-40C, 80% chance of rain and 90% or more humidity our clothes will be constantly wet. It’s great for those who like the high heat and the high humidity. Not much fun in a tent or driving in the ‘black cotton’ mud, so we are sticking around for the break

Raining here this morning too, albeit a fine mist. Looks like yesterday was speing and summer combined. Scrap that last description, just been out and its got heavier.

Very true, just thinking of the ones who aren’t around anymore.


Who votes for Phil to take over as headmaster of the chill'out zone? I will be the first to vote yes.
I’m sure Derek would approve.

You can count me in on that vote, hopefully he can keep some of the nauseating children on here in check, been in contact with Derek the man from the Rover Club in heaven he say yes!

Here you are Richard, in case you missed my reply

Morning miscreants one and all - what a horrible morning. It's slathering it down, blown against the windows by a cold, gusty wind - looks like yesterday was a one-off
Hope you are all as well as old age allows you to be ? Sorry Jeff - I know you're only a youngster
All my new doors are now fitted - very impressed by the joiner, he's slow but very thorough and pedantic about having an even gap all the way round. The roller bearing hinges are brilliant - really smooth compared to traditional hinges. He's fitting the handles and latches this morning - then they need staining to protect them - painter arriving later in the week hopefully. Any more spending on the house is then banned until 2019 at the earliest
