  1. Morning, Due for 5 degrees here today and 10 degrees tomorrow. Whoopee. Van in for MOT/service then tractor wheels in for new tyres, then ultrasound screening for aortic aneurysm. Then do a quote for a nice and regular local customer. That'll do for me today.
  2. Morning all, Hopefully the day of icy conditions for a bit. Stay warm
  3. Morning all, Still icy. Couple of quotes this morning then back inside and light the stove. Roll on next week’s thaw.
  4. Morning all, Hospital appointment, hopefully get discharged after knee op. Making bif efforts not to slip on ice and undo all the good. Stay safe.
  5. Morning all, Snowing again here. Getting boring now.
  6. Morning all, Just a bit of pottering for me today. Keep warm
  7. Morning all, Snow overnight again here. Hopefully get the rear 4 wheels off the van and take them in to have the new tyres fitted. Excellent local tyre guys are up a crowded town street with parking on both sides. Don't fancy trying to get unladen rwd motor along there. Sorry to hear of your garage water woes PeteB. Stay safe all.
  8. I just think he looks too much like a cyborg. Don't know what planet he came from though.
  9. Morning all, Snow overnight and snowing here now. Taking Hilux in for its first service then back to sort kit for Loler. Thank goodness for infrared heaters in sheds.
  10. Morning all, A bit of snow here, nothing major. Taking son up to Manchester airport this morning. I’ll see what it’s like further afield.
  11. In addition, you can't beat keeping the diesel tank on the machine full, especially if it is a metal tank. limits how much condensation you get into the fuel.
  12. Interesting, never heard that before, but not arguing with you at all. Was told by many sources petrol was OK, and never had a problem. Is the issue that it can cause other problems beyond perhaps not preventing waxing?
  13. I added 5% petrol to my diesel in winter until I gave up buying red, due to local supplier giving up on it.
  14. Morning all, Nice and frosty. Stay warm.
  15. Morning all, Same here - hard frost and wind free. Family weekend then back to work Monday. Have a good weekend all.
  16. Agreed. Nice is one thing, but I have no wish to revisit Monaco. Half a day was plenty for me.
  17. Nice. Three days teaching English as foreign language in Monaco (not my cup of tea), then two days working remotely as an architect for a firm in Glasgow. How the internet has changed so many things eh?
  18. Morning all, Lazy days till Monday for me. Eldest coming today till Sunday when he goes back to France. Bit of admin this morning then domestic stuff.
  19. Happy New Year all, Still in bed, listening to the rain. Coffee, breakfast and crossword, walk dog, then lazy day.
  20. Absolutely so. Amazing how he carried on working so long. I can't help but feel that it is no coincidence he died so soon after having to retire, perhaps a loss of raison d'etre for him. I loved his shows.
  21. Having used cheap and cheerful disposable Chinese motorcycle intercoms which worked really well, including background noise suppression I have changed over to the Protos intercoms. Purely due to changing to Protos helmets. For what they cost the Chines ones were great, but for the climber they were prone to catching on branches and being pulled off/having their mounting plate broken. Also note the comment re modifying PPE if drilling helmet to mount securely. Having the whole thing located in the ear defender, with no arial seems a winner from the start.
  22. Morning all, Dry here for the morning, so off to (mechanically) dig out the conifer stump from yesterday. Just got to avoid gas water and electricity, wherever they may lie. Happy New Year all.
  23. Morning all, Decent day weather wise here, so off to a small local job on the ground. Lovely woodland in his rear garden with a buzzard's nest in it.
  24. Morning all, Lovely blue sky here. Dog walk, load van for tomorrow then lazy day.
  25. We can hear the mice or ?larger rodent in the loft, traps not caught anything yet. Hope it doesn't get to the wiring. Fibreglass insulation is not nice to work in.
