I've had a swimming lesson this morning, the first time I've been in a pool since our lads were small 25-30 years ago. We are now down the club with the rest of the senior citizens.

Henry and I are at the vets .

I hope Henry finally finds out what's wrong with you....

Never too late!

You'll be training for a triathlon next!
That's what are club members seem to do after having swimming lessons.

Ditto.

Plus I've got an excellent turntable to play them on.

Oooo what do you have?
I have my Thorens TD160s with SME series 2 to refurb in Deal at the moment....more fettling!

Thorens TD 166 with a Rega RB250 arm and a Stilton Audio modified Nagaoka MP11 Boron cartridge, usual mods of the foam damping inserts removed from the springs and a flat mat instead of the ridged one.

Mtoto is now here. Very friendly and will follow you round and sit on your knee. He has tried to make friends with Tiggy but she is having none of it. Talk about grumpy.

Blue tabby colourpoint. Nice wee chap.

I have cat pictures....my folks are looking after poppy for a few weeks for my aunt as she probably wouldn't do well in the cattery. She's very very affectionate. Also very very malty. When she shakes there is a cloud of white fur in the air.

She is also very dribbly when being stroked.

I am now covered in wattle and daub.....I mean slobber and hair.

The room I work in has five radiators with thermostatic valves. There is also a gate valve that controls the flow for the whole lot, and it is just behind my desk.

I guess I ought not interfere with it, as some historical heating engineer probably worked hard to balance the whole system for the building, and it might be having consequences that I know nothing about.
For the last four years it gets shut off the first day I feel hot and back on when people really start moaning in October.

Who'd have thought you would oversee a reign of thermal tyranny....?

Actually, if asked, probably about 95% of those questioned....

Ha! Also removed foam inserts and use a flat heavy rubber mat.
I often wished I'd invested in an RB250 as they are compatible with a wider cartridge range especially MC types. Maybe one day.
Chez Wimpers we need to keep the volume down for the neighbours so no point in big spending until I have the Audiolab and Rogers Studio 1a back in a large room raher rhwn the small Denon system on the sideboard!
