Thought I'd dip in here and try my hand at trivialities.
I've just had lunch whilst my daughter sat in a suitcase watching cartoons on her iPad pretending she was in an airplane.
That trivial enough?
1.6 on the trivometer is quite poor.I've just had lunch whilst my daughter sat in a suitcase watching cartoons on her iPad pretending she was in an airplane.

Try harder next time.....
I've almost finished my coffee. It was quite nice.
how's that?
I've spent far too long the last few days watching videos of static Merlin engines at shows. That noise is enough to make a man go all gooey on the inside (and the outside too if one stands too close to the exhaust stubs...)
Just a week and a half now until I go to look at the one I've been offered.... fingers crossed it's OK and I end up buying it

New trivometer required please.
Cornwall has once again proven itself to be the arse end of nowhere.
Yesterday I planned to replace the front suspension topmounts on the Entertainment Officer's Vauxhall Signum. The replacement parts had arrived and were the correct ones. I had everything I needed, or so I thought.
Half way into the job I found that I needed a 21mm swan-neck ring spanner. Nothing particularly specialist, I thought, I'll just nip into town and get one. This turned into a four hour epic where I was almost continuously either driving to or on the phone to just about every motor factor, tool shop and any other place I could think of that sold tools west of the Tamar. Not one had what I wanted. The nearest place that did was Machine Mart in Exeter, an hour and a half away. Unfortunately by this time it was gone 4pm so I wouldn't have got there in time. Turns out I could also get the tool from an eBay supplier for less than a fiver, from my usual tool supplier in Shrewsbury (£15 for a half-decent brand) or £30 for a full set off Amazon. The only place I can't get one is anywhere on the dark side of the f
king Tamar.
In the end I threw the car back together and have now arranged for a mechanic to come and do the job because I'm now away with work until Monday.
