Was thinking about buying a tyre pump for the car/land rover. This is because Sainsbury’s have started to charge at the tyre pump. Then I was thinking that those pumps they sell for car tyres are particularly rubbish and probably very very slow. It occurred to me that I could use a 240V pump to pressurise a cylinder to a high pressure then use this to inflate tyres. So speaking with a friend who does scuba diving, there are cylinders available that are 3 litres and will carry that pressure.
Thought I’d have a go at soldering the headers onto a small knock off Arduino Uno board.
I now suspect that the adjustment might be out. Though the pattern of the LED is far wider than the halogen as you can see. I am not sure that this can be adjusted away.
We had a tree come down on Sunday night, one of three that used to stand on council property to the back of our house. Luckily it was the middle of the three that had been bend over by the other two away from our garden, so it fell onto pubic land. The council kindly logged it, and i was able to help deliver it to a fella who lives in front of us.
I have designed and had printed the body for my speedo drive: We visiting Longleat where we met this fella;
The Volvo 340 is now a high miler. Done ticket over 50,000 miles on the 24th September. I baked some sweet chesnuts from the tree outside the front of the house, i slit them all, but still a few exploded in the oven and the photo of some bits on the ground is showing the remaining fixings from the removing the plastic under-tray from Hannah’s car. I removed it to change the oil, but sheared off or drill out the fixings as they were so badly rusted, I replaced the tray using zip ties, so it will remain to be seen if it’s still there when I change the oil next time.

Birthday 37, I managed to tip over whole mug of tea, not a small one either. Then some tree surgeons turned up and started to cut down a tree out the front and late came around the back and saw the horrible job I’d made of removing a branch of the tree out the back, in January 2016. The cleaned that up for me. But my tyres turned up and I had a lovely day even if Abigail and Hannah both have stinking colds and I was working..[peg-image src=”https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-jIIts-ZjeDo/W5IuXnt2RrI/AAAAAAABLWE/cieCF49SlmMmC3OBKJQXJs4fhKLE_0xlACCoYBhgL/s144-o/IMG-20180905-WA0003.jpg” href=”https://picasaweb.google.com/100446983108465419613/6598387389268431201#6598387387384350386″ caption=”” type=”image” alt=”IMG-20180905-WA0003.jpg” image_size=”900×1600″ ] [peg-image src=”https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3WR4mEWsNV4/W5IuXp8pviI/AAAAAAABLWE/LJtDTzhgBagQxxxcrCZyv_95Evz9gQddwCCoYBhgL/s144-o/IMG_20180906_134258.jpg” href=”https://picasaweb.google.com/100446983108465419613/6598387389268431201#6598387387983314466″ caption=”” type=”image” alt=”IMG_20180906_134258.jpg” image_size=”2988×5312″ ] [peg-image src=”https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-kp89sJS26Ig/W5IuXhodySI/AAAAAAABLWE/9F501YHPJoAec7Y-bVYIok5673x2Ywv6QCCoYBhgL/s144-o/IMG_20180906_133530.jpg” href=”https://picasaweb.google.com/100446983108465419613/6598387389268431201#6598387385751161122″ caption=”” type=”image” alt=”IMG_20180906_133530.jpg” image_size=”759×1179″ ] [peg-image src=”https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Yx76rVvbQXU/W5IuXiBHW5I/AAAAAAABLWE/n1ELEktOlMkZ6IgcljMlh0pf44vWNAgcQCCoYBhgL/s144-o/IMG_20180906_070335.jpg” href=”https://picasaweb.google.com/100446983108465419613/6598387389268431201#6598387385854548882″ caption=”” type=”image” alt=”IMG_20180906_070335.jpg” image_size=”2988×5312″ ] [peg-image src=”https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-MjPzFsNmjhw/W5JL1ulD0hI/AAAAAAABLW0/Vcn8GZXjTDcEkidjzZdNUKVbEL-oVAWpwCCoYBhgL/s144-o/20160130_153417.jpg” href=”https://picasaweb.google.com/100446983108465419613/6598387389268431201#6598419790459818514″ caption=”” type=”image” alt=”20160130_153417.jpg” image_size=”688×1090″ ]
Yesterday I realised that we have a ripe crop of blackberrys, so I’ve eaten them on my breakfast muesli. We went to the lavender fields again, it was amazing to see the difference in the lavender over the course of a number of weeks, the tractor thing is a lavender harvester. Today I went laning with a couple of friends down towards the Devils Punch Bowl.

We have finally had a new consumer unit fitted, which means that the shed how has lights that work on the switch and will soon have power sockets too. Also I have made myself a replacement air filter for the Land Rover and got a bit of flexible duct to replace the heater air duct.

We went to two National trust properties this weekend. Clandon House, which was burned out in 2015, so that made the visit interesting as it’s possible to go inside of the building and see the structure. Then we visited Hatchlands Park where we had a localy walk around the grounds. On the Sunday we visited the Lavender fields.
