This morning I took the cylinder off the bed and marked the back end for drilling and tapping to fit the studs that will hold the back lid on. By knocking off time I had the first rough fit complete. This needs to be refined now but that will do for tomorrow. 45 minutes this morning of quiet steady progress. Now I want my breakfast.

Morning

Our case was collected around 3 yesterday and we should be reunited in just over a week. Otherwise yesterday passed rather quickly filled with lots of small jobs and a long sit down in the afternoon as we did a little online research for wines ( see later). I tackled my difficult patch in the front garden and made progress, moving and replanting primulas as I went creating a tidier more formal look. I can now see the patches where new non spreading perennials will go in . Hopeful this tidiness will deter some of the local animals ( including a fox) , though cats will like the bare soil

Its a dull damp start to the day but not excessive, it should be a dry afternoon. This morning its a trip to the hairdressers for both of us followed by a trip to Whalley and Clitheroe where, following our online research, we are hunting down an American wine that is not Californian and is preferably one of the NE states. Saturday is July 4 th and our monthly zoom u3a wine meeting. The theme is Independence day . We feel Californian wine is not appropriate for the theme as it did not join the union until 1850. We understand Virginia and Georgia have good wines and may just be available ( at a price) in independent wine shops. Watch this space as they say. Have a good day all
If you keep searching you will find it

Morning Sue! Your talk of American wines reminds me I once tickled Uncle Bob's taste while I was staying with him and Paulette in St Louis by finding an Oregon (1859) wine for his birthday.
I've had a good two hours second sleep and am ready to fry sweet potato chips. If I really feel domestic I can put my pork and orange in the slow cooker. The world is my oyster!
