Surely the 'Best Before' should read, 'A large single malt and snooze in front of the fire place'.

These little magnetic, led lights. Blinding little things and incredible value for the money!

No idea and not yet!

I'll grab a piccie later, but they are surprisingly bright for their size. Broad spread of white light more than a beam, so more a worklight than a torch. I bought 4 and gave three away but will buy some more and have them in my car and camper and one under the bike seat.

I've bought three tickets for the RLWC match Papua New Guinea vs Wales.
I'm taking my mum so she can shout rude things at the Welsh team, we've even bought her a PNG flag to wave. She's no affiliation to PNG, just she hates the Welsh.

Jack Russell for scale! I’m actually more impressed now I’ve been outside with them.

Finally got around to ordering a new windscreen for the moho!
After the ins co. schtum up their share, it will only have cost me £700.
Which as i was expecting a £2k bill, is a result.
The heki 3 panel (€458) arrived today, so its roof time tomorrow.
Might actually get to spend a weekend away in it soon!
Might nip over to la plagne.....again

Decided I wanted some dark blue brogues.
Saw some on the Loakes website, so went out shopping to try and find some. Clinkards where I usually buy them from don't list the blue ones.
I found some similar ones in Dune, but they didn't have them in size 12.
Came home disappointed.
The wife then fired up the tinternets and the Loakes factory shop website had a pair in my size, for £160 less than RRP. Result.

Gin day?
I mean how the fuck does someone ever decide they want blue brogues when sober?

I was looking at my Burgundy Loakes thinking how I'd like another pair in a different colour, I'm not really a black or tan kind of person.... and the blue matches the pin strip on my Boss suit.

MoniMoto tracker. Moving the bike around in the garden sets it off. Love the way it has an independent power supply too. Just bought another for my new (to me) car.

Wish i'd had one on my x-adv!

My pleasing purchase today was....absolutely nothing!
(Went to the Craft in Focus + Desire - Jewellery and Silversmithing Fair at Wisley. Managed to see everything and still extract wife without spending a bean apart from coffees and pain au raisins. Result!

Also found a back lanes way out that meant didn't have to loop around the M25 J10 interchange to get heading south...filed in the memory bank for future reference).
