Moved them out of the garage & put the outside decorations up & then put both cars back in the garage 🎄🎄🎄

Took the shortened front section of Omega prop shaft to the man to get it checked/balanced or remade (£80) and then to the exhaust place to order some bends for tail pipes. Prop will be done next Mon and exhaust this Thurs

Implemented a complete bodge carefully engineered solution using the tools and materials on hand to the zafira's exhaust as the blow from the flexi section has finally become unbearable.

Said solution involved the use of flexible aluminium ducting and some jubilee clips. Given its required design life is about 3-4 days and 140 miles, I'm confident in my solution  ;D

Took the Range Rover out and towed the Round Table Santa Sleigh into town ready for its trips round the local area, I've played Santa a couple of times but it gets too cold for my liking so I'll stick to just towing it now.  🎄🎄🎄

The tart from the Round Table was banging on my door for about 5 minutes.  Could clearly see the lights on and hear the tele, but couldn't grasp the message!

We must get the sprint version, as they fly round our estate so fast that i don't have time to get to the front door with my handful of pennies.
I'm a poor pensioner i'll have you know.  :D

If I'm being honest some of the little kids eyes just lit up when they saw me dressed up as Santa , it was really quite rewarding, but the last time I did was about 7 years ago & I got absolutely frozen.

The kids love it and take it all in. My grandchildren went out the other night to wave to him as the Round Table did the rounds.  :y  I remember one year having to jump start the tow car for the sleigh (some 4x4) as it conked out in our cul-de-sac, so I did my bit for Santa.  ;D

Noted the ciggy lighter blanking plug was missing from her socket in the armrest cubby hole.

10 minutes with Tinkercad resulted in:


About 20 minutes to print, all sorted.  Should stop any shite getting in when not in use, especially metallic shite ;D
