Another glorious start to the day outside
Thursday today so only Friday then it's the weekend.
Someone is asking for his breakfast

Molly has had hers and is now chattering to the birds outside. :laugh:

Off for my morning constitutional shortly.
 
Bugger, that didn't go to plan...

Mower started first time, so filled up with fuel and off I went. Did all the bits around the house, then went out to do some stuff further out. The steering starts to feel sloppy and then suddenly, the steering wheel turns, but the front wheels don't. Whoops.

Classic catastrophic fatigue failure of the steering linkage around a stress raiser. Would be a perfect picture for a Strength of Materials textbook... :laugh:

Fortunately managed to use the car to tow the mower out of the garden and then shove it back in the garage. The steering is repairable, it's just a matter of swapping out the broken part. The only thing I'm not sure is whether it bolts in or whether it's welded in. The former is straightforward, the latter less so, because even though I can weld (MIG) well enough, I don't have the kit.

Anyways, sat here with a nice :cuppa: and a flat pack easter egg.

Sorry to hear about your problems.
We are poles apart again ! This time I have a MIG welder.
I hope you can find somebody local to help .

Sunny intervals forecast. Would get more sunny if my car battery arrives and gets fitted today. I kept the trike out of the car to go down to the garage when the job is done. I had to take a taxi back home yesterday as the garage had only one person on when I went down with the car and so could not give me a lift home.
I need to get some stuff from the pharmacy but not taking the trike down just for that. The operative word there is DOWN as it means a beast of a climb back up if the car is not ready.
 
Morning.
I over sleepdid ! :ohmy: Our radio alarm clock wasn't switched on !

It is sunny here but there is some thin milky cloud masking some of it .

We will be going to Bath this afternoon . I will pop into a camera shop to have a look at a couple of cheap lenses . That is if they are still there .
 
Ooh! It makes me so angry ! :angry:

I was listening to the TV . They were saying that peeps have cut back on spending , such as make up , hairdressing. People working from home wearing casual gear and so not wearing suits . They then said that some Sparks and Mencer stores have stopped selling suits. Brilliant! So some relly pops their clogs , you go out to buy a suit and find that's there are no shops selling them ! Burtons gone ! And so have others , can't think of their names but where do you go when you haven't much time ? :wacko::angry:

@KnittyNorah - at 10am tomorrow I'll be on a Jet2 flight LS217 from Leeds Bradford to Lanzarote :okay:

It'll be the first time on a plane for several years and I'm a nervous flyer :huh:
@KnittyNorah, it's not LS217, it's
