Davina's diary vol 3, life goes on... continued

Had a fight with the shower again, water pressure up and down like a yo yo so cold to burning hot!! Managed to wash my hair anyway. Just caught my l/h index finger with the grinder, have a small cut in the cuticle and a grove in the nail. Worst was it went through the new glove I had just put on----------

Just caught my l/h index finger with the grinder, have a small cut in the cuticle and a groove in the nail.

Ouch! I did that with a box cutter knife. Went through the middle of the nail to the outside. I glued the nail with SuperGlue. The skin healed quickly enough, but the nail took a month to push the cut to the end so it could be trimmed off.

Just one repair left on the chassis and then once its clean some paint, still have loads to do on the body but I want to get a rolling chassis first.
 We had a good hail storm lunch time, had to shut the door to keep the wet out so I got a bit damp!

[davina61]

Getting spots on my face this last few weeks, I know at least one was a hair root as managed to pull it out last night. Hope its just from all the dirt I have been covered with, maybe I should have used that face scrub as well as soap?

I get this too occasionally a few spots on my face but normally from hot weather or being a bit run down. And white hairs also seem to trigger them like you mention with a hair root. Not fun! Hope it clears up.

Well had a bit of a morning, stuck behind some twat doing 25 to 35mph all the way to town. I know it was wet but not that bad for a 4wd pickup, makes you wonder if they were safe to drive. Then the fuel station was closed off as doing some work and then to top that off there was a load of doddery folks blocking the isle in the supermarket!!
  Cooking time now, hope that goes okay. Mhurg ka Salan (I think thats how you spell it) ,just a basic chicken curry like you would get in an Indian household. Then for tonight's dinner its a chicken Jalfrezi that is a dry curry of ready cooked meat, tomatoes ,red pepper and broad beans go in that.

I'm thinking I probably know the roads you mention people crawling along as I worked that way for a while and had to travel often. Once stuck, you're stuck. However one late evening it was really fun seeing what 230bhp & 470nm could do with my tiny Volvo V40, although the brakes faded very quickly!

Chill Davina🤣🤣 Enhance your calm!

[davina61]

I was calm, just mildly pissed!! Well I used the big pan to cook the chicken forgetting it has a thinner bottom so some of the onion got a bit overdone , it will be fine. Apple and rhubarb crumble done as well, spent 3 hrs cooking!

[Stottie Girl]

A bit of culinary therapy does the trick!

I wont be going @£40 a ticket!!! Well under side of chassis painted, hope to turn it over tomorrow.

Cooler and patchy cloud this morning, thats good as doing some gardening for mum. Worst bit is fighting with the blackberry branches and training them up the fence. I have run out of old work polo shirts, destroyed by weld and grinder sparks. Wonder if anyone makes spark proof ones?
  Had a swarm of blow flies in my flat, seems to happen every year but never found where they come from. Good job its warmer so I opened the windows and let a lot out, the monster spider that live in the one window frame was getting excited!!

[Stottie Girl]

What about a leather workshop apron? Like a carpenters one, that should keep a lot of the sparks of your clothes. In fact is there not such a thing as a welder spron? I'm sure I've heard that term before?

Urgh blow flies, horrible things. They are often attracted to smell of dead things. There is a possiblity something died under your floor. I've had that one or twice. Never smelt anything peronally though because of the floor vents.

[davina61]

2nd floor flat so nothing can be underneath ,only way they can get in is through the extractor vent. Well 4 buckets of Michaelmas daisy clumps in the garden rubbish bin later and I was pooped , think I wore myself out turning the chassis over yesterday. Still I did what I had planned, My 2 boys were at their mums so stopped to see them. My eldest had brought the new pup to see if it got on with the ex's dogs as she has to look after it in a few weekends time while they are away at a wedding. The band is playing in Portugal so they are flying out and back the same day!!
