Message: [QUOTE="Colin, post: 146848, member: 5507"] Hi, Many thanks Logan for your concern which I very much appreciate. (y) I've bounced back and feel well again but this morning was frightening given how ill I felt; Bron was in her studio quietly doing a bit of pyrography totally unaware how ill I felt and I didn't want to worry her so I sat in our front room on the sofa with my eyes closed for about half an hour. After dinner i started to feel much better so I wandered down to the workshop and turned a wooden wheel to replace the broken plastic wheel on David's mower; I was at the sanding stage and was wearing my new trend air shield but like a fool I left one of the doors slightly ajar because it was such a beautiful day; is there no peace for me in this world when I want to do something for pleasure; there was a gentle knocking on the door; it was a young coloured guy trying to get my attention; I switched the lathe off together with the VFD then I had to remove the airshield in order to speak to the guy; why do people have the right to wander onto our property and start quizzing me about how much energy I use and how much we pay; it was Saturday afternoon is there no let up at all? The guy was polite and amiable but all these people don't understand "No thanks I'm happy as I am"? I resumed sanding having now exposed myself to airborne Meranti dust that I have just paid the best part of £200 for the air shield to avoid. ARGGGGGG. After tea it being such a wonderful evening and quiet outside I said to Bron I'll pop down and give the Yeti a quick wash and dry because after yesterday's trip to the tip it looked as though it had been off-roading. I had got half way through washing it when our lovely neighbour Carole arrived home so I resumed washing the Yeti fifteen minutes later; a neighbours dog appeared and started barking like mad a few yards away from me and then our very nice neighbour from the street end appeared with her two little children who wanted to play with the laurel logs awaiting collection at the bottom of our path; I'm amazed I got a full half hour to myself this morning whilst I felt so ill; it's nice though to have people like me enough to want to spend time in my company so although at times it can be a pest on the whole life is good. Below is a picture of the mower wheel I've turned for David; I gave it a soaking in linseed oil and tomorrow i'll bore it to accept a plain bearing bush then I can chalk it up as yet another favour sorted out. :) Have I mentioned I like lathe work? :D Kind regards, Colin.
