It could all become dreadfully confusing. A three wheel four door MX5?

Anyhow, Mrs B's stricken with a cold at the mo so I'm off to get a bit of shopping. There's something on the list that looks suspiciously like 'Chicken Coop'.
I'm not sure whether to assume it should read 'Chicken Soup' and get a four pack of that, or buy half a dozen fence posts and some wire mesh?
Chicken, Co-op? In other words buy from there.

I believe they have a deal on chicken this week.

We're all scared to go into the Co-op.

We're chicken.

As well as the rest of the shopping I bought four tins of Campbell's finest, six fence posts, a roll of wire mesh and a packet of netting staples. Oh, and a couple of hinges for the door.

I then return home to this:

Bugger. I've finished putting everything away so I'm off out again to the Co-Op to effect the purchase of an oven ready chicken, that should comfortably see all bases covered.

Good thing really, at least I can get some more apple donuts whilst I'm there lick

And chickens, don't forget you'll need chickens for your coop!!!!
There was no mention of live chickens on the list so I'll await further instruction from Mrs B.
I won't bother her until she's feeling a bit better, she reckons I'm three parts bloody cuckoo as it is.

Oh, no! He's got into a loop.
Did anyone remind Bomma to get some chickens??

What a fun day it's been so far, today I have mainly been making "stuff" I'm calling them "stuff" because it REALLY would take far too long to explain what they actually are!! Oh and we may have bought another Doug Hyde sculpture despite saying we weren't buying anymore!!!

Indeed, we certainly don't want any goings-on of that sort.

Anyhow, I've procured a good size oven ready chicken from the Co-Op. I think I'll roast it and do a few home made chips with it, might even have a bottle of beer too as it's Friday drink

Bloody marvellous. I was in my fourth year there and did fourteen more.
Went back last year.
Don’t get me started....

And about half a minute after the last photo I rolled the Cortina estate..... which is why we screwed castors on the roof of the XJ6 the following year.

We arrived at Maison Blanche camp site on the Wednesday. There was a tip and run cricket match under way with a bat, a ball and a 40 gallon oil drum litter bin as the wicket. There was a lot of beer in evidence. The game continued, day and night, until the race started on Saturday with anything from two to two hundred blokes playing.

I avoided the follow on.

More importantly here we have the broken glass dial of our much used clock after gravity and my arm played a part:



An acrylic sheet painted on the rear and now back in business.



As though I have 10 hours spare to fester around doing it. Still it’s nearly done so it’s one off the long list!

My grandparents were from the Make-Do-And-Mend generation. Their living room clock decided to only work on its side. It was electric and therefore beyond my grandfather's ability to mend so they made do. It sat on its little shelf rotated through ninety degrees for several years until it finally expired. After that when we visited I rather missed going into the room and tilting my head to read the time.

Excellent repair there V6.
