I was out for a walk. Dry, but bitterly cold.

I see one of the charity shops have done their window up for Valentine's Day. That romance on the cheap. Enjoy your scratched Des O'Connor LP and dog eared Agatha Christie, Darling.

I'll try and remember to take a pic of our Valentines' display, to show how it should be done...

Technically speaking St. Peter's Basilica isn't in Rome.

This is true, and I'll bet you can't get a decent bowl of mushy peas there either. Security guards are better dressed though.

I've decided to listen to The Beatles' red album and I feel fine.

It's amazing that I paid €1 each for these albums at a car boot sale years ago and the local second hand shop wants €30 for copies nowadays.

It's tempting to cash them in and buy them on CD and buy a couple of pints with money left over.

It's not that bad.
Like Rome, it's built on seven hills.

And my legs feel like I've climbed 12 of them😂

That's all the data entered into the drawings database.

I can now create separate listings for each of the individual projects, for the engines and for all the major component manufacturers involved (AP, Dunlop, Laycock, David Brown). And lump the unidentified stuff together as well.

It's taken me around 200 hours of work to get to this point; creating the catalogues, research, cross-checking with the IMechE archive and doing all the data entry. That's not counting the day we spent photographing and scanning everything in the first place.
