Maybe it's just cold?   

Brain returned to its normal muddled state after a good sleep!! Off to call on mum then do some awkward welding. At least the weather is much better today, wind and rain moved away. Patchy cloud and maybe up to 10C.

So sizes does matter.

So to speak.

Maybe, for specific situations.

The 2 shafts turned up yesterday so this morning I stripped the joints off, that CV joint grease is gross and goes everywhere. After a lot of measuring ,head scratching and doh moments I think I have the size worked out. Taking them over to be shortened Sat.

Measure many times, cut once.

Took the shafts to be shortened this morning, my dumb sat nav tried to send me through the middle of town and then up the motorway instead of the bypass ! Got to the last town and road closed, followed diversion sign as well as the sat nav and went through okay but on the way back got sent miles around. Still ignored every thing and followed sign post to where I wanted to go and came out on the right road!
 Stayed at Roy's for a few hours watching him build a dragster front axle and drinking 2 coffees, its a fair old way there as it takes over an hour from my place.

I am glad you got there!

Well that stopped today, came down with a streaming sinus/nose and sneezing as well as shivers. Better now ,just hope it clears for tomorrow.

I hope you feel better, Davina.  I know that you have plenty of hot tea!

Yes thanks, just a bit snuffly now . Cooked a veg Palou to go with the slightly overcooked Vindaloo I made yesterday, well when I say slightly I mean burnt but it tastes okayish.
 Have been trying to get a ticket to Hot Rod show in August, I have been a member since Jan but cant get a ticket as members only. This is due to them having 2 sites and the one you join on does not talk to the other so have had to put my details in that one as well.Have to wait now for admin to log me in I suppose

Felt okay when I got up, made flask of tea and lunch box to go to the workshop but sat here my nose has started running with a vengeance and I started shivering again. Blast as weather is good ,11C and sunny.
 Flask will last me all day so saved boiling kettle and using more tea bags!

Hope you feel better soon.

So do I !!

I hope the bad symptoms disappear right away!

Sweeten the tea with honey. It helps with a runny nose, cough, and congestion. I went through this recently, too, minus the chills.

Soak in a hot bath for 30 minutes, then get out and bundle up. I do this anytime I feel a fever coming (chills, aches, etc.). Fever is your body trying to kill a virus, so I save some "body energy" by soaking in a hot bath and raising my temp that way. Get the water as warm as you can tolerate without burning your skin, and stay in for the full 30 minutes, even if the water cools down.

A hot shower would work, too, but uses a lot of water. Maybe a sauna if you have one nearby.

If I have honey it has to be in hot water with lemon, looks like it has shifted now.

Tea is just flavored hot water. 

I agree that honey and lemon make it much better.
Glad it has shifted.

Went to the workshop and did some, had to kneel to work on suspension and my knees and legs hurt now! So made pancakes, broke egg into flour and it was a double youlker. Not sure if that was why they came out a bit different but they tasted fine.

Stiff today, went and did some small jobs. Not much but a job done is one less to do.

It is good to get things done.
