What have you been doing today?

Just got back from a few nights away at the Camelot Castle hotel. Stunning place. I was a bit taken aback when walking into the reception to see a large photograph of the owner with the Donald, and the various photos of the owner with guests and friends included Charlie Kirk and good old Nige, we'd unwittingly booked into a hotbed of right wingery, I loved it.


 
Got me gardening 'ead on today. Going over the allotment to sort stuff out today. Some of us in our street have 'adopted' patches of neglected council land in the road and weeded, tidied and planted them up to brighten up the area. This morning I added a bird feeding pole and a couple of feeders to 'my' patch. The bluebell and snowdrop bulbs that I planted have just started poking their heads through and the daffs will soon follow. Looking good.

It’s looking a lot better than when I first started to clear it three years ago - I found a discarded knife in the undergrowth!

Morning walk over the south side of Thorndon Country Park. Haven’t been there for a while. They are clearing some of the woods.

Months ago, I decided to fork out for the back-box of the car's exhaust, to be replaced with a custom-made stainless one. Custom, because the OEM were no longer available. I sounded terrible, noisy, boomy, not at all what you would expect, in a 'gentleman's carriage', nor what I had specified when I'd ordered the work. November, I got around to complaining, and made an appointment for today, for the noise to be addressed....

We are just back, and it is much, much better, what ever they have done to it, but it looks like exactly the same box on the back. Would they open up the existing box, and revise the interior layout?

Have they fitted another silencer in the system, before the rear silencer?

I don't know, but I doubt it - I couldn't take a proper look, it was outside, very wet, and hidden by bodywork. I'll have a proper look once it dries up. The original back box, was quite large, the replacement, and what I could of it this morning, was tiny.
