Lens is probably sick of giving you a piggy back, more like.



Definitely

Kick a man when he’s down, sounds about right.

Had a little trip out to the Larkshall estate. A spot of lunch and a walk through the grounds. They have a lake and the lady on the ticket desk gave me a couple of bags of food 'for the fish'. Blimey, if I’d had known they were this hungry, I’d have brought a rod!

Plenty of peacocks about too.

Not with a broken toe.

Best time to kick a man.

Bending Plywood

6inch internal radius.

It will be an Ottoman when finished.

I also bend the framing - essentially the bends on the frame are laminated - sliced down to 2mm leaves, steamed until hot and wet, bent on a jig and allowed to cool, then taken off the jig, very thin slices of the same timber glued up and inserted into the saw cuts and clamped back in the jig until dry. could only do 2 bends a day.

Dismantling a Dyson, in preparation for the arrival of a new brushbar motor.

Dismantling a Dyson, in preparation for the arrival of a new brushbar motor.

Long story short, back in March, I tried to repair my Dyson cordless and due to my impatience I fecked it up so bought a new body. Today I was vacuuming out my fleece pocket (bought a pot of pepper and the top came off in my pocket) and it was stop start, stop start so I thought I’m not having this, got straight on the phone to Dyson and had a rant. They sent me a link to my mobile which allowed the operative to observe the problem. It didn’t do it when I showed them (although I didn’t have the nozzle in my pocket) and made me look a right idiot! Anyway, the operative asked me to hang on, went away to speak to someone, came back and said they would be sending me a new body F.O.C. Didn't even want the old one back and told me to bin it. Say what you like about Dyson but their aftersales/customer care service is second to none.

Had this for over 3 years and only started using it this week as Mrs Mottie said the original "wasn't quite right". I changed it and kept the original for a spare.

I'd have put the slots on the inside. Why not?
