First cut! the idiot next door has been cutting his for over a month, he cut it on Friday and again today. I think he uses a laser line for the stipes and measures the grass with a Vernier--------

You have to watch out with these cheap pattern parts, D (where I have my unit) fitted a NAPA alternator to a Ford and the warning light stayed on. Well known fault apparently as when he got a genuine Ford one the first thing the storeman as was has it got a NAPA fitted!!

Bloody traffic going to the RHS Spring garden show, going the other way but stuck behind a tractor . The daft bastards were queuing for about 6 miles to the car park from the Glos direction so unable to get past then 2 folks on bikes were slowing the tractor down. They pulled over and let the tractor past but the stupid cow on the one bike pulled out in front of me (nearly hit her) and peddled slowly for 1/4 mile before letting me past. On the way home with the traffic coming the other way it took ages to get round cars outside the local shop GGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Had to go over to my friends and find out why the engine fan was not working after I redid some of the bodged wiring on his hot rod, must have been one off the links onto links onto links I removed. New feed and it works, also had to find an ign feed to rev counter. Cant wait to do the job correctly with new fuse/relay box and bin the bad jumble of links.

Unfortunately I was in the middle of the queue and no long straights, worse still it they went slower when there was a few drops of rain---------
