The M6 bolts I ordered have arrived. Minimum order quantity was 5. Anyone need four 60mm M6 bolts?

I just had to order 10x M 10 bolts, you want to do a swap?

As soon as they depart you will discover you need them.

You are very right, you cant have enough random nuts and bolts in stock, I still have 5 lengths of threaded bar that I "borrowed" from a site 25 years ago, and the associated nuts and washers, I have used about 300 mm in the last 10 years, however cant throw them away.

2-3" of snow tomorrow in the forecast, should be the last snow for this year. Potatoes are healing over before I plant them, and my chayote squash has a good start on things as well. Tomato seedlings were thinned yesterday. Radishes and cabbages are proceeding apace. Summer hybrid bike is now on the active roster, and the winter bike awaits cleaning, lubing, and adjusting.

Buy more bikes, get the most out of your new bolts, you have the perfect excuse

New Cross, however, seems to have bought up all the peppers, no matter which traffic light colour they might have been.

This really is a puzzle, there must be more in the supply chain then you can shake a stick at, but can you get any absolutely not, is there a Government/Bakers plot to buy all of it up so that we can be put on a bread & water diet under further lock down rules,

I've managed to order some online (sous-chef.co.uk) and I already had a decent amount anyway. Well the next Bakeoff should be good!
