So what have you done today..?

It's an old courtyard.!.......with my favourite spot in the summertime as it heats up very nicely indeed.

 

we always used to go to The Chalet but not sure if it was on the route this year.

 

Chris i've only been a few times over the years and would love to enter but all those levers might just blow my brains.

 

Pass to the next bright old / young person that knows the route.

 

totally agree! constantly testing to see if timing and mixture ok and even pumping lubrication at the right time on earliest.

 

Do you know the history of your property?

 

Right on my doorstep, is this a regular event?

 

Are you close to Leonardslee Gardens then?

 

Well, I can report that Samantha is an attractive young paramedic with long blonde hair.

In the same vein, from IKEA:

 

I sent the jacket back to have the sleeves shortened. Got shirty when they wanted me to pay postage and suggested going to law over it - so they supplied a prepaid label. Given how ludicrously cheap it would have been (something like £3) I almost feel guilty about it. But the point stands that my other jackets have shorter sleeves, including the Wrangler that's straight off the peg, so I'm not freakishly proportional (I'm sad to say).

Anyway I was dubious about it. But a week or so later it came back with the sleeves now the right length and it seems like a very good job.

So now I'm expecting a suede version, pre-altered.

And that about concludes my splurging on stuff as a reward for not smoking - though I nearly spent £100 earlier on a pair of Ducati leather riding boots.

The two leather jackets - £128 for the green one; £184 for the suede - come to about what I'd have spent on fags for three weeks and a bit.
