Hi,

Many thanks Gail; I've just enjoyed the day grafting having just knocked off; I need a good long hot soak now due to metal spinning; the dirty lubricant hasn't improved my looks much; I look like I've come down with an unknown spotty disease but it's been a successful day unlike yesterday when all I could make was scrap. It's been a terrible day outside but paradise in the workshop.

Kind regards, Colin.

Hi,

Gusty winds and light rain but nice in the workshop.

Kind regards,Colin.

Hi,

I'm pleased this is only regarded as light rain that is currently lashing down; it's a good job heavy rain wasn't forecast and it's another black hole.

Kind regards, Colin.

2 inchea of rain so far, one more day to go. 40f plus windy and I think it is a beautiful night to be indoors! Plus Becky has had the kitchen smelling wonderfully all afternoon!

Same here Colin all day long and when we had a slight break in the afternoon hubby washed the motors and then it started again not long after

Hope it's dry a bit so that I can work in the garden later.

Hi,

It's still dark outside so I haven't a clue what it's doing but I doubt we're in for a beautiful summers day?

Your hubby did well to wash the motors Gail; the lashing rain washed ours.

Goody; another workshop day.

Kind regards, Colin.

Morning Colin,

I shocked myself this morning waking at 7am ...the lights just starting to come this end but we're in for another wet one

Colin ours are on the drive mate and I said what you washing them for...answer- to remove the crap the rain keeps bringing down then it starts again, mind you my windowsills was riff

Enjoy your day in the workshop and cover yourself up more (mask) if need be because of your skin ...i'm relaxing today being on yesterday.

Hi,

Thanks for your concern Gail; yes I take lots of safety precautions whilst pottering around; I recently bought a Trend Airshield helmet; for years I've used the dust masks which generally liked to mist up my glasses; the last box of dust masks I bought I had difficulty breathing wearing one of them it seemed to cut off my air supply leaving me gasping for breath so enough was enough. I'm not totally happy with the Airshield and think the battery and filters would be better worn on a belt around my waist but I had to do something because a new pair of lungs isn't an option so I accept the small problems with good grace.

Our car too lives on the driveway but given the dire weather I've not been able to wash it but it's not raining at the moment; if it remains fine after dinner I think I'll give it a good wash. A couple of days ago the tyre warning icon lit up on the dash indicating a tyre problem? Back home I checked the tyres; all four were down only 1.5psi but I've brought them back up to pressure; modern cars are excellent but their electronics can mislead; I've seen the icon light up whilst all tyres have been perfect. Bron and I are driving over to visit friends in Hull on Tuesday so the car will end up just as dirty again. The car's a Skoda Yeti and it feels like I'm washing a bus.

Waking up at 7am Gail? I'm up every morning at 6am to make a brew for Bron and I which I take back to bed then we get up at 7 o,clock to see what the day is going to throw at us.

Everything outside is soaking wet Logan after the deluge over the last couple of days; light rain is something my pet cloud Blackie doesn't understand.

I don't really know what it's been doing this morning because I've been so busy in the workshop; the workshop is our garage and has a pair of side hung doors with obscured wired safety glass but I could see it was dark again; usually I can see a waterfall down the glass.

Dinner time so another morning has slipped by; more workshop after dinner if I'm not car washing so the weather can please itself.

Kind regards, Colin.

Hi,

WOW I managed to wash and dry the car this afternoon; it was pleasant but cold in the brief sunshine and it's now becoming dark so another day rolls by; I even managed to plant a crocus our squirrels had kindly dug up for me and remove a pile of oak leaves from some of the wallflowers.

Kind regards, Colin.
