At work I had a small magnet on a piece of string that I’d dangle just above the floor and walk around the workshop.

My dad ran an upholstery workshop when I was little. One of the tasks at the end of the day was to walk around with a similar magnet to pick up all the lost screws / nails / staples.

I still have the magnet hanging behind the door in the garage. It is still used for such.

This last weekend consisted of 2 days of over 34°+ temps and high humidity. It felt kind of brutal. It's too soon for summer death temps! 🌞🥵

Constant drizzle all day here which was great news as I wasn't tempted to go anwhere so got a lot more done than expected. Changed & washed the bedding, did the vacuuming, did a load of bike maintenance and still had time to go through the box of odd spare parts and throw out a whole load of bits no longer needed. How I ended up with a dozen Garmin bar mounts, hundreds of rubber O rings, half a dozen pairs of QR levers and things like a bag of valve caps & even a square taper crank puller I have no idea.

Do the Welsh see things differently ?

My grandpa was partly Welsh, he used his eyes.

Good morning. I think I may get a bit damp on the way to work; at least the gales have subsided...

Warm and calm with sun here this morning

[biggs682]

Morning .
I have got to take one of our cars for an MOT . It is being made more difficult to a land slip which destroyed a road leading to the place .

When it comes to searching for lost needles and pins I find that my feet are pretty good at finding them . There is usually a yelp followed by some hopping as I lift my foot up to discover what caused the pain !

Lots of my old bike parts, including tyres that still had some mileage on them, went to the ~ Umbrella Fair ~ a community project in Hamtun. I've got a feeling the bike part might be closed now, which is a bit of a shame, as they were shut last time I rode past..
Maybe @biggs682 knows more about them?

I think a wet wipe wash is needed today .

Never managed to get there when they are actually open in all fairness , have thought about donating but that's as close as it gets

Some plastic trim to fit around the new doors today.
