Good God man! No coffee! How do you get through the day. 😁

Lots of tea and orange squash.

If biscuits stayed sealed in a packet I would eat a lot less of them same for chocolate .

Or all at once with a bit of added roughage.

Oi. I had two of those about 40 years ago. Lovely cars

I inherited a Sprint, with about 200 miles on the clock from my uncle. Loved it.

A faulty radiator pressure cap can give the symptoms of a head gasket problem . A lack of pressure will mean that the water boils at 100C.
The only problem I found with my Sprint were the brakes. They didn't stop very well, I used to drop down a couple of gears and used engine braking .

Weren't they drums on the back? Engine braking isn't very good on my C -Max, with only a 1000cc engine, but I do have disks all round.

Dreich day again and stuck indoors anyway or perhaps up the garden if the rain stops.
Christmas trees are advertised for sale in Oban.
Of to make soup to use up the some of the artichokes I dug up the other day. They are a terrible pest in the garden as they spread widely if not kept under control.
Trouble is they are not nicknamed fartichokes for no reason.

My Swift has drum brakes on the back.

Finished brekkie,now waiting 30 minutes before I start weeding the driveway..This should be the last time,in spring we are going to have it relaid.It's only paving slabs,we were going to go down the resin path,but its too expensive,and we should be moving in about five years,going to retire again near the coast in Northumberland.

I think today's rain is slightly less heavy than yesterday's so the weather must be improving.

When I was vacuuming the house, this morning, I took the brush thingie off to get into the corner behind the bathroom door and the suction managed to slurp the belt of my dressing gown into the hole.

Fortunately I have ninja like reflexes and managed to grab it before it totally vanished and ended up in the dust bag!!

We don't have a biscuit barrel, the biscuits are in the coffee jar, we don't have any coffee in the house.

Quite right too.

It's the World Conker Championship in Southwick, NR Oundle, on Sunday..

I'd love to go again, but this is my weekend on shift 😢

I rode there a few years ago to check it out.. Well worth a visit!!

I walk the dog past a few horse chestnuts & it's sad to see the conkers abandoned on the ground, even though its a major route to the boys school.

I managed to get to the shops 5 miles away before my first coffee of the day. There's an M&S foodhall just in front of me. Tempted to go in but the pannier's pretty full already.
