What could possibly go wrong?
Nothing apparently. They both survived being towed and then miraculously I survived being towed by Oli.
Breaking the law, again
Oli and I took the lawnmower for a joyride back from Sarah and Dan’s
BMW Windscreen Wash Repair
My windscreen washers stopped working as they all got gunged up inside and the filter ended up getting blocked. To repair it is a proper pain in the arse.
- Jack the car up
- Remove the wheel
- Remove the front and rear wheel arch covers
- Wiggle the wash reservoir out of it’s hidden spot behind the wheel arch
- Clean it all out
- Put everything back together again
It really is a bad bit of design by BMW
Walking in Lancashire
On Saturday Amelia was at her acting classes [ yeah apparently we’re that middle class now ] so myself, Emma and Oliver embarked on a 6 mile walk. We drove up to a nearby church and then set off across the countryside. At one point we came over the hill that is far away in the middle of this picture :
and then we went for dinner in the pub, because we were all really really tired
and then we had to walk back to the car but since we went the direct route it was only about 35 minutes to walk back.
Everybody was sore the next day
A long time ago
When I was younger I had long hair, an MG and a penchant for furry jackets. This was during my days living in Malmesbury/Bath
Proper manly work
As part of helping out at the cubs one of the other parents had the bright idea of making a bunch of nesting box kits that the kids could then put together to make a finished work of beauty. I volunteered to help him in his workshop and we had a day of messing about with scarily big machines by the end of which we had ten nesting boxes ready to be assembled.
The orange Black and Decker “my first drill” in the foreground was my contribution to the tools we used. It felt kinda pathetic
It’s a T-Rex off
Now that I have my laser cutter set up and working properly there is no end to the crap that I can make. Take these two crappy examples of crap, who would have thought that having multiple 3mm ply 3d T-Rex constructions would be so important?
MK3 baby yeah
Saturday afternoons
All you need is a brew and an outside fire
