Good morning everyone, it was inevitable about France, but it might come out of quarantine before the we go. Scotland NC500? Ireland?

Morning, ** off about France quarantine as that’s the final nail in the Le Mans trip.

Yeah, it's ****, Matt. I won't get into my views on the politicisation of it, but ********, **** and shite. Frankly. Let the search for something else begin!

Finally, it's not yet swelteringly hot today. Amongst a few bits of bobs of that worky stuff, I plan to try and get the water spots off my windscreen. Any tips? I was wondering about Autoglym super resin polish. They're low down, below the bonnet line, so I'm not polishing in my line of vision. Any tips?

Morning all, Happy Hatching day Chris, have a goodun. Local jobs today for me.

Seeking alternatives for LeMans is a must it seems.

Have fun all...

Morning all, poets day and the last for a while as we are off to a cottage on the beach tomorrow for a week but I suspect most of the day will be dealing with questions from yesterdays announcement

Morning,
Persisting down here, so no furniture making for me as I need to be outdoors.
Painting and some plastering / en-suite install is the wet weather programme I guess.
I’ll be glad to get back to work for a rest.
Have a good day,
Dave

You and me both, Dave. Apparently the change in weather has helped prioritise a few indoor jobs. The attic needs clearing out... to make space for some new shite to be put up there and the kitchen lights install / tearing up the upstairs floor job has been noticed as not yet started.

Mercifully work will be getting a bit busier next week and then a 3-day workshop in London the following week (which conveniently coincides with the arrival of the bathroom fitters. Result!)

Funnily enough I too am in the attic room via the new staircase we installed...it’s a bomb site. Everything is covered in dust...and the rain has stopped to be replaced by blazing sun....so now I am as wet from sweat as I would have been if I’d been outside in rain...however SWMBO has announced its Naffi break and I am allowed a coffee and a biscuit....

Any good dog needs to be thrown a bone from time to time, Dave. It's the deprivation in between that makes us so appreciative of the treats. Just be careful you don't get Stockholm syndrome.

Afternoon you lot.
My son his cousin and uncle are now on their way back to Blighty just in time with last night's announcement and meaning they can get to work on Monday.

Stay Safe all.

Afternoon all. Had a long conference call with a guy in Italy.

Think I'll have a short day in the office today. Will try and get out on the bike before it rains.
Still waiting for that whilst the rest of the country is deluged!
