This morning I drilled and tapped the exhaust port in the cylinder and cut the exhaust port in the valve face to depth. It is now ready for fitting the exhaust pipe when I get round to it.... Now I can enjoy my breakfast.

Morning
Water divining is a ´thing’ . We have done it on our field in France, for fun really, but it does work. Bob has used it to find water pipes in floors. There was certainly plenty of water fell on Friday. Hope you can solve the problem Wendy.
Talking of Friday, my son in law did another endurance run this weekend. This beats all the ones he has done before. He did a 48 hour challenge starting at Meriden in the Midlands. The idea was to get as far away as you could from the start in 48 hours . It was supposed to be a ´prison breakout’ . All the competitors could choose their own route. Some did a 24 hour challenge, some 48 hours some ran in pairs chained together. They started at midnight on Friday in the middle of the storm, the Midlands got the worst of it. Ed headed for Brighton, stopping for food on the way, and a short sleep at a Premier Inn. He stopped, exhausted at 4.00 pm yesterday just outside London, at a railway station. At the time there were only 10 left in the 48 hour challenge and he was 8 th. I am so impressed. He caught trains home and was greeted by a proud family at Coventry station at 8.00 pm. He could hardly walk. Meanwhile I followed him online , he was wearing a tracker, whilst I was warm and comfortable doing my jobs

Today is French at Haslingden, its 2 degrees here so I will have to watch out for ice crossing Owd Betts. This afternoon I have a routine blood test, and I shall chase up the Drs again. I have my prescription but the problem of the incorrect records has not yet been addressed. Its yoga in the studio this evening. Have a good day all.

Sue, I do not intend to criticise your son in law but from your description, 'Escape from Meriden' is not my idea of a fun run....
I doubt if I will see you and Bob doing it chained together.....
I hope all goes well for you today.....

I think it was what is described as a challenge run not a fun run . He has done several over the years and trained for a year for this one . This is by far the longest but believe me for a 50 year old he is jolly fit. The other categories were not 48 hours, only the serious runners did that. Some only finished after a couple of hours, others did a typical marathon or half marathon.
At last I have resolved the health issue, the practice manager phoned the chemist who provided the results. They have admitted an error. Believe me it was a mighty big error that has caused me considerable stress. They have apologised and said I can complain if I wish. Not sure I want to be bothered, I want to forget it not recall it
