I've filled the car up with petrol, for the first time since March.
 
Anyways, cut another load of grass and did a bit of DIY.

The cutlery drawer in the kitchen parted company with its handle. As luck would have it, the screw thread doesn't match those on the handles of the other units, and neither have I the right kind of glue to hand.

So I waxed some upholstery thread, wrapped it around the screw thread and re-fitted the handle. It's a workable temporary solution until I get to town and acquire some anaerobic adhesive aka superglue.

Now having a :cuppa: and a bag of crisps and settling down to watch the Formula E. It's on the i-player this evening rather than on the red button.

Last fill up January. Still got half a tank left. I've heard that fuel can go 'off' - time for a top up?
Aye it's the Ethanol that degrades

That's right, but it's reckoned to be good for a year apparently.

I normally fill up every week or so, meaning lockdown has saved me a fortune. :okay:

How odd... I've had no problems. But sometimes you have to go looking for it as it won't be on the main page.

Tonight's race was pretty decent. More tactical than yesterday, but eminently watchable nonetheless.
Qualifying for Race 7 was there but no Race 6, but Race 6 was there tonight, so possibly their usual incompetence that you have to wait until they see fit to make it available,

Is it only on the Beeb? Only I tried the red button the other day, hoping I might get at least the end of the race, and the first thing that happened was a box sprung up asking if I have a TV licence! I assume that if I had said no it wouldn't have let me watch it - so I didn't bother.

Tried to see if it was on Channel 5 I'm sure it used to be but didn't come up on My5 either, nor Youtube, so I went to bed, watched race 6 this afternoon & I still can't get enthused by it, the track is better being wide, but why put the boost so far off the racing line, they are guaranteed to lose a place thereby making the boost ineffective. To me the boost should be on the racing line so they have to go round it each lap & then when they take if they get both a boost & a shorter/quicker track
