Clive

The great painters had body part missing, Picasso a earhole, you a leg........ onto the Cubist phase next?

My condolences @Marcel

Do you keep a banana at hand at all times?

I took a few photos @Six30, but they are on my phone, can't log onto the forum on the phone, forgot my password Monday was dry and warm, but the wind was howling. Tuesday....dry, breezy but warm. Wednesday.....the same. Today....very humid, and a couple of very heavy downpours.. Home now.... oh a comfy sofa, and a decent sized bed.

I will post some pics of our epic Mablethorpe getaway, after I get back, can't get on the forum with my phone, I forgot my password ....good thing my tablet remembers it.

We only venture into Skeg to visit some friends who live there!...... they moved from Warwick to Skegness!

It is up there with Skeg Vegas.

Surprise! Surprise!......... my front disc pads have turned up! But look where they came from!

The Algarve? Or somewhere else? We looked into a cheap Algarve holiday that I posted about, after working out the sums for.......airport parking, travel insurance for us both (expensive for my wife with her medical history) transfers to and from the resort, and renew our passports it is not as cheap as was thought, and with the big bill for getting the car through the MOT we have had to pass on it. So next Monday we are going away till Friday in........ Mablethorpe

She lost her temper with them, told em to stuff their broadband, we will stay with Sky....

14:02...."Our engineer will be with you at 14:15" 14:17...."Sorry we missed you" 14:20...."Please phone (long number) to arrange a new installation date" We have never left the sodding bungalow all day!

Sat waiting for EE/BT engineer to come and install full fibre broadband, they have been twice before but refused to do the work because of the Emergency call system that is fitted in the bungalow, fingers crossed that they will do the workl my tablet spends much time doing this..

Got the Dacia back, I can't tell any difference in the ride or braking!...........think I have been scammed.

Car is almost done, and it has passed the MOT, still got the advisory for the small star shaped crack in one of the rear lights.......... i may look for a light on Flea Bay, if I can be arsed.

And Tuna are back in the North Sea, they have been back here since about 2015....

Garage just rang, car needs rear wheel bearings, brake shoes and handbrake cables...

It seems they do.

Thought about it, but I only have 3rd party insurance.

I caught one of those buggers on rod and line at Scarborough, it was as black as coal, as I pulled it up the sea wall one pincher was hanging onto the hook and bait, the other was snapping at anything near, thought bugger that, cut the line, it was welcome to the hook and bait.

I think this will be the Dacia,s last MOT, rear suspension component, and rear axle are in his words, very rusted, exhaust on its last legs too, it has served me well, passed the last 9 MOT,s without much bother, it is getting to that age where more components are reaching end of life and need replacing...........the clutch is still slipping (a little) too.

£600÷....... more if they have to order more parts for the rear brakes, as he said "We won't know until we get inside the rear drums".

Took the Dacia back to the garage for the repairs to the MOT failure,s, it will (in my opinion) be a expensive day or 2. Hope me or my wife don't shuffle off, had to raid the burial fund to pay for the repairs...
