Today I shall be Mainly...

I also have carried the scars for about 50 years from a reactionary bite from Zoltan. Not his nature but I suppose the equivalent of bite on this for pain control when his tail got caught in the garden gate on West Road in Carleton. He clamped his jaw on the nearest thing which was just above the top of my motorbike boots on my left leg. I have four prominent puncture wounds to show for that episode.

All human life is here Cathy....
I shall be in the shed first thing doing useful things to my engine.... Apart from a bit of shopping later on, nothing is pressing in on me. That being the case I shall do nothing very slowly....

More work on my eccentric. I refined the dimensions of the lugs and made sure they were square. Then I drilled the oil hole. Next I went into my fastenings and realised that Stuarts had let me down, they hadn't included the bolts for holding the two halves of the eccentric together after it has been split so I had to go digging. I found some 6BA nuts and bolts that will do nicely and drilled the lugs to take them. I'm ready now for splitting the strap and boring it but that's for another day.... Right now I am after breakfast.

Morning

It was a nice day yesterday and promises to be another today till mid afternoon when it will start raining. Lets hope its not before as we have our weekly walk to the bank this morning to take the money from 6 weeks of the train in the park whilst we were in France or elsewhere

We spent the morning yesterday at the Mini dealers in Rochdale. There was a hiccup with my order. Originally I was promised delivery in July by the dealers but Mini said it may be December next year. I will not go into the detailed ‘ discussions’ between the dealers and Mini, and the dealers and me. The outcome is I will have the showroom model, which is a better spec for almost the same price and take delivery at the end of the month. Its not the colour I wanted being an orangey red rather than a classic white but at least I will have the car I wanted. There have been numerous phone calls, texts and emails since our 3 hour visit to the dealers on Saturday but now all is signed, and almost delivered.

This afternoon I shall continue with my sewing. Claires top is almost finished, my jacket is cut out. This evening is zoom pilates. Have a good day all

You'd think that in the present difficult economic conditions that car makers would be making it easier and quicker to buy a car....
