Re: What are you doing today??
Spent the rest of the day under Audi TT Quatro roadster. Been sat there for months as a non runner. Decided it might be faulty Crankshaft sensor. New one was only a tenner on ebay. Dismantled loads of ancilliaries just to see it lol. Oil filter now removed I might even get my fat fingers in there to get the old one out. Fecking nightmare these modern cars. If it wasnt 62K miles from new I would probably have weighed it in to junk yard. 


Adventure before dementia!!!

Gave the interior of the car a thorough clean, nice smelling cockpit spray and another lovely smelling upholstery spray, all hoovered and carmats taken out and scrubbed clean. I'm frightened to go in it now...
Oh, and noticed my offside rear high intensity fog light lens is broken. Do I need to get a whole new unit to replace it?

Mermaid is off to ASDA. Waiting on a phone call to come and pick her up in the car. This lockdown must be getting to me because I'm pretty excited waiting for the call!

Burnt some leaves. Hacked some dandelion leaves from out the mono-blocks. Cleaned the guttering on one side of house and climbed up roof to chimney to see if them feckin' seagulls had started laying eggs! Not yet...I'll have them for brekkie one day...

Re: What are you doing today??
Had 2 people ring me to ask if I had spare paint. . One guy bought 2.5 litres of paint 2 weeks ago to paint his kitchen and it ran out halfway through the 2nd coat. . He asked if I had a litre of any grey paint, didn't matter how light or dark, so he could finish the job. FMR but that kitchen will be shocking if that is the level of pride he has. I told him I didn't have any ( I do) and to keep me in mind when his missus sees the state of the job and wants someone to do it properly. He got ratty and told be he only wanted paint not a lecture

Re: What are you doing today??
Just been watching a documentary on Channel 4 about Tony Martin. Caught myself clapping at his final comment.
Today I have been a naughty boy. 25 mile trip to collect ebay purchase. An essential bargain obviously. Me and the surrounding lorry drivers and the occasional lycra clad cyclist had an enjoyable traffic free journey. Went food shopping on the way back, no flour and no corned beef! However I managed to get a few half price easter eggs in the trolley. Including a white chocolate lamb. I had one the other day and just had the head left when Lily nicked it. Chased her round and eventually retrieved it, chocolate is bad for dogs. Some people I know would have eaten it anyway but not me, I have standards!
