Just down the road from my mum.
It’s a lovely part of the world. Going on The Loop tomorrow to,save me driving…looking forward to The Turner Contemporary and will be visiting the Spitfire and a Manston Museums later in the week that are but a few minutes away. And the Hornby Museum if I have enough house points.

If I recall correctly Manston was the only airfield that the Luftwaffe pit out of commission during ww2.

Shotgun stock

.22 spitfires (500)
.177 Air arms Diablo heavy (1000)
One piece high scope mount
Finally and most importantly a twiddly spray mist fan thing for the small person

Bid on another stock and a bayonet frog, just a punt really but you never know as neither are properly listed

It appears I have bought a BSA Meteor (1969 to 1973) the mrs was decidedly unimpressed :rolleyes: she was even less impressed when I told her I had accidentally bought a 1960's Webley Jaguar at the same time :eek:

Now enjoying the peace and quiet as she isn't speaking to me and long may it continue :jaja-no:(y):jaja-no:

Been a bit sniffly this week, Mrs P made me take a covid test and I’m f’ing positive. Again! She’s pissed off to Singapore and Sydney for the next eight days so in a fit of depression, I bought another pair of low tops with red soles.

My neighbour who is 86 got it.
She doesn't really go out very much.
She wasn't very ill but puzzled as to how she got it.

She's a great baker. I get the occasional sample.

Cutlery for daily use.

Not just cutlery, M&S cutlery.

While on the subject of M&S, their chicken and leek pies are sensational.

Bought it from Curry's online last night and was delivered today. A new headset for me Mum so she can speak to her daughter in Waukesha, they speak for an hour almost every day without fail. Old headset gave up the ghost yesterday.

Had a ride out to John Knibbs gunshop and bought a Meteor piston head, piston seal and buffer washer + a HW77 spring

Once home I remembered I also needed a piston seal for the Webley Jaguar so just ordered that from them online ....I could have ordered it all online in the first place but the little wanted a ride out and i wanted a quick chat with the gunsmith anyway

Kerry Daynes used to work at Wakefield Nick, she used to attend the club wearing very little, crap psychologist & a proper bitch
I have finally got round to reading her books, fascinating stuff.

She has a lot to say about the culture at HMP Wakefield, and also a lot to say about some of the officers in general and some by name, including the one who had a restraining order placed against him.

Not what the judge decided, although it would appear he agreed with the ‘dickhead’ bit.. Quite a long story that continued well after she moved on from Wakefield And excelled in her profession.

My latest is a chinese diesel fuelled heater for the van. I will run it whilst travelling to warm up the hab area, so when we stop it will not be an ice box !
