Waking up at the same time on a Saturday as my alarm goes off on a week day. And then not being able to get back to sleep.

13 year old link rods on the rear of my Civic that needed changing due to an MOT advisory. Who thought that a 5mm hex at the end of the rod would be able to survive two seconds while trying to undo the nut after 13 years under a car. Out comes the air grinder. Hour and a half to do both.

I found an old wagon wheel packet from 1990 something. It's 1/2 an inch less in diameter.

Council were out in force with leaf blowers today, as much as I appreciate their efforts, especially on Saturday, I'm not sure what they achieved by blowing all the leaves into the road.
