Good morning everyone, not only hump day but St Payday eve... A quick check of the bank and I've still got some beer tokens left from the St Payday.

Clearly not trying hard enough!

Morning all, a week when I rather it wasn't hump day - heh ho a bit misty out today but will still get out and do my exercise plan.

Had to order more parts for the Fulvia as the calliper pistons were all looking pretty bad so going to rebuild all the callipers with new pistons and seals as well as fitting the new discs and pads

Morning all, sounds like a lot of work Andy, glad you can refurbish the callipers yourself, many wouldn’t even try. Going to have a day at home I’ve just decided.

Have fun all...

Good Morning everyone, great drive in work this morning with the one litre supercar beater. Splashing and crashing through the big puddles in the road, the skinny tyres means no aquaplaning. Maybe a pull to the left or right as a tear up the curves of the A25. Thoroughly enjoyable.

One thing to note is the amount of one-eyed cars! There's not much traffic on the road but i saw 4 cars with a headlight out possibly out of 10 cars that i passed en route.

Enjoy your day, and to those who took my advice on Monday, I think you can get up now...

Morning Martin, you can have fun in almost any type of car if in the mood. Agree on the lights out and also the middle lane hoggers. Why do people not pull over and do all their journey in the middle lane.

Anyway, good morning all.

Morning chaps went to bed discovering a serious water leak in the bathroom and had to turn the water off.
Today is going to test my French and getting some fittings to sort out.
Stay Safe all.

Good luck avec le plombier, Philippe.

Morning, all, and happy xxxday. Normal start, I suppose. Tumbled out of bed and stumbled to the kitchen, poured myself a cup of ambition and yawned and stretched and tried to come to life.

Headlights are expensive in Ireland, well that is the conclusion I have come to as many have only one light working, I have done some random counts pre lockdown and came out with between 10% and 25% with at least one light out

Morning all hopefully today won't end up being a working day like yesterday, 6 hours on work related phone calls just because it's end of year and everyone wants to get some contracts signed

Morning all,back in Hackney today doing rope works. I’ll be easy to spot as I’m walking around like John Wayne at the moment, having been struck for the third time in my adult life with epididymitis! 10 day antibiotic treatment which last time resulted in severe nausea and me getting motion sickness ever since.

Have fun all...

The joy of old property and French plumbing.
14mm going to 12mm spent a good chunk of the day with wet knees and a couple of trips to pick up supplies but earnt a few more brownie points.

You’ve gone proper native now with all that metric mumbo jumbo.
