Got on well this morning, made another lamp out of a duff spray gun and the pickup/bowl fitted on the AID gun. Great I thought I can get on fitting the ariel to the Austin and then a neck muscle spasmed and I cant lift my left arm over my head so that but the kybosh on that.
 Nice British summer weather today, you know windy, cloudy and spits of rain!!!

Well my back let me down this morning, neck still stiff so no workshop today. Making sausage patties later to go into a sausage "curry" from one of my cook books, no fresh coriander to go in the patties but that will be okay.

Toss and turn last night, weird dreams as well. Over active grey matter I recon but I normally make up for it next night. Back and neck recovered so will attempt to remove the front metal headlining from the Austin today, loads of stuff to remove from footwells first and give it a good vac.
 Rained a bit ,showers around so my beans will be growing.

Dear Davina:
I always much enjoy reading your frequent updates on your Blog Thread and elsewhere
around the various threads and Topics on the Forum.

I am so very glad that your neck and back pains have subsided so that you can move
around and do some of the work that you wish to accomplish.

.... regarding your beans and other garden items...  rain and sunshine makes it possible
for everything to grow....  then the work begins with your weeding and harvesting.
No rest for the weary.

Hmmm, you had "weird dreams" last night.  That can be somewhat normal for me as well.
I am thinking that is caused by what I ate before I went to bed ? ???  :o  ::) 

Please continue to keep your updates coming... and try to go easy on your body, you
were only issued ONE !!!!!


HUGS, Danielle

Maybe the journey isn't so much about becoming anything.
Maybe it's about un-becoming everything that isn't really you,
so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place.

I don't think I know any old mechanics that don't suffer from bad knees and backs, this generation have it easier with all the gearbox jacks and stuff so your not lifting heavy things. Its law your not allowed to lift over 15? kilos on your own now.
 Needed 3 hands to refit the roof lining, impossible to hold it in place and start screws with just 2. D gave me a hand, okay its weird dream time again (11pm)

Thursday food shop again (comes around to fast) and can't decide what to get for next weeks dinner, looking at chicken and apricot curry to cook today as have a bag of dried apricots open. I know I will need 2kilo of caster sugar to make the blackberry jam, only have 2 Kilner jars and 3 old shop bought jam jars so will just make a 1.5k batch .Recipe said a 1.2k good for 4 jars so will see.
 Cloudy and showery again 21C at best, forecast says by Sunday it will be 29c and sun . Talk about all over the place.

Well I made the blackberry jam, not sure if the squeezy lemon juice was the right stuff to use as it said 1 whole lemon juice .Had trouble with it setting but jars are still warm, where I spilt some it set. Chicken and apricot came out fine, sweet and sour from the apricots and sugar and red wine vinegar.

I wish they would mark up the parking area, we still have 3 cars from flat 3 when only one place per flat and there's a strange car parked up this morning. Girl from flat 4 parked in the middle of 2 places the other day, no consideration for others. Okay moan out the way, windy but nice morning so off out when I can get these old bones stirred.
Got my Skoda booked in for its annual test for the 22nd, have to get a new screen fitted before then. £60 excess to pay so will have to watch the bank balance.

See trust the universe, as I was home I looked on line to see if there was an autojumble on at the local show ground. Sept 1st so managed to get the organiser and have a pitch booked inside for £40, its 6mx6m so room for my car. Now I need to get the lamps tested and go through mums garage and see what I can find, also need some tables.

Fire alarm went off last night at 3.15, good job I was coming around for a comfort break! By the time I got dressed and had a wee it stopped, will have a look on the display to see who it was that set it off. System is a bit sensitive as toast will set it off, it also has faults as flat 2 was away and it went off for no reason.

Turns out it looks like a faulty sensor again, attic space above flat 8 it said. Well that makes a change from above flat 6!!
 Spent all morning till 2.30 sorting out stuff at mums to take to the auto jumble, still have a few bits to take but I was worn out by then. Hope I can get all the stuff in as doing the same at my garage tomorrow and still need to get the lamps in, have a good few hours of cleaning to do. Wonder if that old tow rope will sell as it clean old style ,mmmmmmm money for old rope----------------

Good old British weather, it goes from 20C to 30C in one day. 2 day heatwave on the way, calling in on the Debster this morning. Have to see her new lamps she has had fitted ,will give the beans a good soak as well.
  Life plods on doing what I can on my pittance, new government have stopped pensioners winter fuel payment. That was a bonus to help get by, dowdy might hit the fan over this one as the new lot have already shown how useless they are.

Picked a good handful of beans at Debs and dug her a root of spuds, they were small but the ground was bone dry. Still they all cook to make a meal, left her a pile of beans so I hope she has them with the spuds. D gave me 2 courgettes and a cucumber so well off for veg. Sorted a load of stuff out to take with mums stuff, car will be rammed.
 Turned out very hot, flaked on the sofa now.

Well 9.35 and thunder storms rumbling about, need to get lemons for some more blackberry jam and bulbs and switches to finish 2 lamps. Will call in on my niece at her work to see if her fella does PAT testing so I can sell the lamps.

Dear Davina:

Are you selling the lamps retail at a store??? 
Is that why you need the appliance testing/safety certification? 

I fondly recall that years ago that you had been creating clocks and
other items out of old automotive parts... they were unique and beautiful.
... Are you doing the same with lamps also?   
     
              Pictures? ???????


HUGS, Danielle
