Daisy's been in my bedroom to sort out my plumbing. It's not often I get to meet lady plumbers. Anyhow, I now have a working radiator in the bedroom. That only took 7 weeks to sort out....

was there any of this to enjoy?

Further to our discussion over coffee sarf of the river, I'm trying some ergo grips on the Brommie. They're really comfortable and look the part, I reckon.

Yes, but only about ½".
I'll send you the link if you want.

Please do, Pete. I'd never heard of Promend before.

I know the old Minolta AF lenses won't fit the current Sony SLR's. Tried one of my own on a Sony body and it was a no go.

Has to be an A-mount SLR, not an E-mount. I wanted an older SLR because they are cheaper, and take many of the Maxxum/Dynax accessories. Which I have. 28-105 might be hard to find nowadays, especially with the power zoom. Which translates to a 43-150 on the APS-c sensor. Plenty of old kit lenses roaming around to cover the wider angles.

"The dawn comes up like thunder outa China cross the bay," not that l can see China or the bay from here but l like the sound of the words

Isn't Mandalay somewhat landlocked in the middle of Burma? And I thought China was up north of there, after Goktiek Gorge and trestle.

No1 daughter is in hospital for her Crohn's infusion today and grandson has a cold so might not be able to go to school.
I may have a snotty 7 Yr old to entertain for the day

Drive her around in your rig. That used to entertain the heck out of us kids, when we were younger. Much younger. About 50+ years ago.

If only we were still allowed too!! My kids used to love it when they were younger. Depots and most companies banned it due to elf 'n safety 😢
