Re: The All New Megathread

Re: The All New Megathread
I had a barium swallow test at Stoke Mandeville Hospital this afternoon. It confirmed my GP's diagnosis of acid reflux with nothing else nasty or lurking to be seen. There were lots of posters around...

Re: Rebuild update.
I was wondering if I'd missed an update or two... Your videos were very well done Col but I can see why you were getting fed up with the admin if it was getting in the way of the spanners.

Re: The Veg Plot.
The weather has finally turned to rain but it was much better than the forecast. So, onion sets are now in the ground, two rows of parsnips sown, leek seeds kicked off in modules in the greenhouse,...

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...

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...

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:

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
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...
