Bought an engagement ring (50% off even better!).

 

Now just to find the right time to ask!

the right time is simple - it has to be unexpected. 

 

i proposed in the kitchen while taking a 5min break from painting the sitting room 🤣

and then swmbo headed to her sister's as she had lectures for a course she was doing at the time

Starting up my 1996 2 stroke Italian disc cutter and my 1955 Villiers MK15 Stationary engined wacker plate both after being laid up for at least 5 years, both on 5 year old fuel, both started on first or second pulls and are running and idling once again like clockwork.

 

Both are going to get some serious use once again.

 

I am amazed to find that I can still buy the couple of parts for the Villiers that have been broken/missing for decades.

Tinkabell has left the building!
First truly clear LFT this morning after 10 days.  Still a bit congested but that feels more like a combination of hay fever and Vaderitis.
Sense of smell is still largely walkabout but (in the words of Pink Floyd) "it's coming through in waves".

Driving through rural Hampshire this morning and a Tawny Owl flies across the road - a lovely sight and, surprisingly, in daylight.

Sitting in my little summerhouse (aka The Posh Shed) with my lovely wife curled up asleep beside me. Evening sun coming into the garden, birds singing away.  Perfect....

New car ordered three weeks ago and moved up to an allocated build date of just under two weeks!

As I was provisionally told August for delivery (with an additional delay added for a September reg), I think that's faster than pre-covid delivery times!

The latest update is that the Build Date is still w/c 23/5/22.

Maybe it's already built and awaiting a wiring loom or some chips?

BMW did this. Some cars were built and sidelined for parts to arrive. The bad news was that some people who had cars ordered later, had their orders completed on the production line and somehow ended up getting their cars much earlier than the sidelined ones 😞 Fingers crossed for you. 🤞🏻
