Re: The All New Megathread

Re: The All New Megathread

Re: Rebuild update.

Re: The Veg Plot.

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Do any of you remember the little yellow bird in Peanuts? He was called Woodstock, hung around with Snoopy and could NOT fly straight. I've just watched a house sparrow trying to fly up to the...

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
I took Hugh's gearshift off today to move it up a notch, as I was struggling to get my new boots under the lever to upshift. Bit disappointed to find it was as high as it can go without fouling on...

Re: The All New Megathread
Weather is patchy today so I'll be in the greenhouse clearing the clutter from the staging and getting the module trays ready for the first sowings.

If it wasn't for the buds bursting open into leaves on the lilac you'd swear it was December: cold, blowing a right one, and pouring down. Great start to the long weekend...

Re: Oral B toothbrush battery replacement
I could not get my last OralB one open without smashing it. So, much as I'd prefer to replace the battery in my current one when it stops holding a charge I'll probably have no choice but to buy a...

Re: The All New Megathread
It was a bit cold and very blustery but, as today is the only day for two weeks with no rain in the forecast... Hugh came out of hibernation! Just a ten mile circuit but enough to:

As it is getting close to end-of-hibernation day for Hugh I have fished a box out of the understairs cupboard. It's been there for three months since I bought it in the slack, ie cheap, period of the...

No rain for us today, thankfully, as most of the bits of Oxfordshire I go past on my way to work are still underwater, as they've been for weeks now. Thankfully most of the flooded roads are now...
