Bender Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 I was going to do a bit of fencing, the wooden kind not the pointy steel kind.Went to see local wood man as when I called they had a message saying temporary closure in place. Now he is getting on a bit but he's the sort that ignores everything and anything in the way of advice so I was a bit concerned, even his mobile had a divert. Turned up, no need to worry he's flying round his yard in a new telehandler, comes over in shiny machine says hi from a distance, apologies for turning phones off and explains they had 172 outstanding orders from Monday and they were piling up so fast he can't deliver the stuff quick enough, so he's had to close up till they can work out what they will have left..

Guest Swagman Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 I have just fetched my black fz6 round home so will be giving that a polish just to keep me fit. Quote
S-Westerly Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 Got to deliver some stuff to the hospital for my wife. Quite like the almost daily requests as it gives me an excuse to get out on the bike even if it's not for far or for long. Weather is glorious so came back the slightly longer way via Painswick. About 3 miles more so not exactly ott. What I noticed in Gloucester was a lot more people about. I think the lockdown is starting to creak a bit. Also noticed people ignoring the 2m space requirements. Quote

Love how bright it makes it in there I had 2 already but it needed another at the front as when car is in the front is going to house the bike and a small woodworking bench. Quote

Bender Posted May 1, 2020 Posted May 1, 2020 I need to get some LED lights for my garage! but some of the prices are ridiculous I got the first 2 from cef for 20quid each, the one I just got from screwfix is exactly the same but 35https://www.screwfix.com/p/twin-5ft-led-batten-white-45w-4000lm/5440rCould have probably located cheaper but I'm impatient lol, they are completely sealed so no worries about any water ingress.
