hmmmm,

I thought Britannia's hull was navy blue, which B&W would render as a dark colour.

Otherwise, "no idea" from me, but still thinking.
Plenty of dockside cranes to see.

The shape is so that they will come out of the mould more easily.

Certainly had me foxed !

Probably a platelayer's hut. The permanent way men would also use dets, also for fog signals at junctions. I remember being on the last train out of one place - the staff put about what felt like 50 dets down in front of the departing special ( service train with extra carriage / dmu , I think ) It ...

That's thick glass for any bottle, wine or otherwise !

I'ld refer to those as "Sugar Nips" - as in cutting up block sugar

Blacksmith's former, fits into the anvil and allows "finer scale" work

I don't think it is either a proof mark, nor a hallmark, which were my original thoughts. So I'm at a loss ...

18mm or 35mm film splicing kit

Azimuth compass

Definitely hand-cranked siren ...

Maybe ww2 vintage, but the ROC posts has then as well. (up to the Stand down in 1990ish).

you made the different sounds by altering the vane settings

I read the BBC coverage of poo-cubes and had to check the date !

PS. I've got a couple of drawers full of router bits; wonderful things, even if very noisy to use !

That looks like a thicknesser to the left, but no idea otherwise.

The lower shelf is the things you used to use to squeeze lemons or oranges for the juice, the one I have has a row of spikes to catch the pips ...

I think they are made out of coloured bakelite

You can never have too much compost ...

I've more top-dressing to do, but later.
I'm still recovering, but I did get a good night's sleep.

I've been "under medical attention" since around 2315 last night - about 12hours in total. I spent most of time under observation for low blood pressure in a hospital "short stay unit" (step between A&E and a full ward admission). I'm fine, now. Currently maintaining my fluid...

Battered spam fritters was something of a speciality on one of the chippies in my misspent youth. I've gone all nostalgic ...

scratch that - maybe Walrus.

Has it been polished ? the surface looks very smooth

Sheep's horn ?

Must keep a watch out for that sort of thing ...

I would probably have rung the pwc Manchester office, after looking up the number in another way.

BT seemed to have upped their game on blocking spam. I've had very little recently, but the new filters at the ervers have blocked some genuine contacts.

electrical switchgear cabinet (if it isn't a gas meter cupboard)

Ta ever so, Tizer.

No great feat - just that I remembered seeing something about the Kiwi refurbishment in a recent Current Archaeology.

(have been looking for our copy to confirm the details)

The Chinook is bringing chalk to spread on the Burford Kiwi, the dust is from the down draft.

looks like a block to go under leather when using a punch to cut holes

Glad to hear that Jack is healing ... Recent weather has been somewhat mixed - wet and windy at times, also just wet ! however, it dried up just enough to let me cut the big patch at the back. I've managed to move the tomatoes into the big greenhouse ... that was a couple of days ago, and today I wi...
