Today Hannah and I spent the day in the garden, we put down stones at the base of the wall. Dug one potato plant up because all the flowers where gone. We had a number of potatoes out of that plant. Put up battens in the utility room for two kitchen cabinets that I will put up as soon as I have the proper fixings.

Hannah spotted it, so thought I’d get a picture. It was about 15mm or so long in the body.
I have now completed one wheel, painted with two coats of red-oxide primer and two more of white Hammerite.

Been trying to solder components onto the PCB board. Tried at first with no flux, as I didn’t have any. It doesn’t work so well work no flux.

We didn’t get up to a great deal over the long weekend, we did have Lynn and Gerry to visit on Friday and on Sunday visited Portsmouth where Hannah cooked a great roast! We visited Basildon Park (NT) on Saturday, which was pleasant but busy. Mowed the grass and kept busy around the house the rest of the time.

Tigger has been getting in through some of the high vent holes in the house. Also I have fixed the up stairs toilet flush. We also got some carpet tiles and insulating underlay for the utility room. So that’s what I’ll be doing this weekend. Also we had pop corn last night. Thanks Jessica!
