Ran my much loved old 306 diesel on it for 3,000 miles with no diesel at all. It only really works on Bosch pumps on older cars, Lucas pumps/modern/common rail diesels don't really take to it. The emissions are great (MOT people always impressed) but it does smell a bit.

Hitching up and trundling back home tomorrow.
Been away for 3 weeks, so I reckon the lawns will need a cut.
If we time it right, we should be back in time for 'Fish Friday'.
As a footnote - Sister in Law died today at 13:15 just as we were walking up to Windmill Tump. Seemed somewhat appropiate, with it being a 5500 year old burial mound. Wife is understandably upset but can rationalise the situation. ...........So we are back up country again in a couple of weeks for the funeral.

Morning all fellow coffin dodgers. it was bright half an hour ago. The clouds are gathering for a rainy couple of days. The runner beans will be happy, so will the outdoor tomatoes. We have a bit of a do to go to this evening. A former work colleague of MrsP is getting married today. It'll be a chance to dress up a bit instead of living in shorts and tee shirts. dog to be walked before the heavens open and then maybe a pint or two in the Mitre at lunchtime. I can get used to this retirement lark.
