Collect kids morning .. in town for 07.45 ... jeez did it rain again last night - none forecast and thought we were gonna get a frost at half twelve - was seeeriously cold .. shocked to hear it lashing on the Velux by 01.00
soooo .. dropped Clara off and back in town for 08.30 - hit the food shops ... on our way home by half eleven, 300 quid lighter (bear in mind this is a two/three weekly hit) - if we were doing that weekly I'd be



.. unload, chill (early start and busy morning), some lunch and do all we hadn't usually gotten done, first thing, then togged for an hour or three outside tidying up some more

Wound the 'Drema up and let her warm up, then grabbed my 50mm forks from the front of the 6t tipper where they 'live' in their rack

up, threaded out of its spot and away to get parked on the bench for 'ron/another day's activities



- dropped the 50mm forks on the deck and grabbed the Cranab again to stuff that bloody stump in where the IBC came out of, 'til I can be bothered to have a.n.other go at the damned thing

sorry forgot to grab a pic ...... then dropped the Cranab back off again to hang the 6t tipper off the lift point and wrestle it back into roughly the same spot it came out of

and was running out of light rapidly ... parked said trailer and grabbed the 50mm forks to drop 'em back in their parking slot on the front of the trailer

then grabbed me parking plate for the VA-r, but the light was well and truly against me so thought better of dropping it off tonight and tomorrow looks set to be a decent enough day
View attachment 77792
so just laid her out, where she sat, for tonight
View attachment 77790
got a few things could do with getting flattened, 'fore i drop the VA-r off tomorrow


and the parking plate'd do a great job of that
