It’s an Emma Bridgewater and they still make them.

Trying, to make myself an automatic centre-pop. Like a normal centre-pop, but using a sort of sprung slide hammer on the shaft. Put the point on the spot, retract the brass against the spring, then let go. I just have to harden the point, then fix the stop.
We were given a set of six, china coffee cups, in the 80's, give-aways, by collecting coupons at Esso. I eventually broke four of them, my favourite for coffee, and looked on Ebay for replacements - they went for £20 each, and I wasn't £20 desperate. I found some in a charity shop weeks later.

Yes, that’s the one although I found a secondhand one on eBay being sold by a charity shop. £18 inc. postage so I've bought that.

Don't know who that might have been.

Up early and was at the local tip at 7.30 to offload the tree stump and root that I dragged out of the ground with my car yesterday.
Had my mate come back with his Transit for me to fit a new driveshaft. It only had a split cv boot but when we tried to replace the other side just over a year ago, we could not get the joint off of the shaft. Decided not to waste time trying the same on the other side so just ordered a complete new driveshaft. I’m still amazed that I could get next day delivery for a brand new driveshaft with obviously new cv joints and boots and the centre support bearing for just £55. I told him it would take 20 minutes to fit, he doubted it but from the moment I jacked it up to the moment I let it down was just 19 minutes. I surprised myself too!
Changed the rear incandescent indicator bulbs on the Tucson for LED's and wow, what a difference. I think I’ll change the fog and reversing bulbs next.
Popped over the allotment to water my seedlings and sow some pumpkin seeds and then back home to dig over the adopted bed across the road from me. Hit a (roughly) 1m square patch of concrete just an inch under the surface and then remembered that there used to be a telephone box in that bed about 20 years ago. Had to build the soil level up on that and I’ll only be able to plant shallow rooted bedding plants in that position. Had a neighbour knock on my door to tell me "Très Bien" about the bed which was strange as she's not French!
Tomorrow, I’m going to transplant some plants from my mums garden onto that patch. I’ll sleep well tonight!
