Ran a bunch of errands this morning. Ely was very quiet, but the Co-op in Littleport was absolutely heaving as I went past.
I am going to have a quiet afternoon, then as I am going to Tesco tonight (on the night owl shift), I will see if my 92 year old neighbour needs anything. He's almost housebound these days with arthritis, and his relations (also of pensionable age) usually drive down from Bourne to do his shopping...

I still need art paper, but the situation isn't quite as dire, as I found half a large sheet of Bockingford NOT and two sheets of pastel paper that I'd forgotten I had. And I've got it in my head that somewhere, I should have most of an oil / acrylic pad. Now if only I could remember where I put the damn thing...
I've measured up the Bockingford, and I can cut five pieces of 8 x 6 and one 6 x 6 and only have a few scraps left.

We managed to get our full food shopping done minus only two items. We did have to visit 6 different supermarkets to get everything though...
Word to the wise, Aldi is where to find toilet roll... 🤫

They were limiting sales of everything to 4 items yesterday. Mind, 4x16 loo rolls should last a while.

I've been doing a bit more whittling . It hasn't been easy! I'm hoping that I may be able to use this to make a mould from which to make other wheels which can then be trued up.

In order to make a mould you must have a 'split' line beyond which everything is angled outwards (i.e. no undercuts) in foundry terms this is called the 'draw' of a pattern. It doesn't matter where this line is as long as everything tapers away from it.

Can anyone clarify for me why someone thinks they can buy a German Pharmaceutical factory. I assume that Angela Merkel's response might be short and to the point.

Playing around with models you get the chance to see how big things are by comparing one with another . I hadn't realized the difference in size between the Lotus 49 and the Ferrari 156 or the Cooper T53. I'd always assumed that the Ferrari and Cooper were smaller than the Lotus but that is not the case .

I may have to make one of those,sit it up in my van, and go home. Actually, I have been busier today.

I made myself a nice corned beef and cabbage sandwich for my lunch. I heated it on the van manifold.
