Morning denizens

Changeable weather here today: very grey and gloomy earlier, now quite sunny

[SueEllen]

Oh great now I know British Gas via Equifax have allowed by data to be hacked.

British Gas overcharged me so they have just sent me a cheque.

FTFY.

In other news, Zeity is more or less in agony today.

The withdrawal symptoms from the ibuprofen are not pleasant.

I can see how people get addicted to this tulip.



Oh, and that bolt I couldn't undo on Friday?

Well after a weekend soaking in WD40, I still can't undo it.

Heating it with a lighter did nothing, as did cooling it with freezer spray.

clamp a mole wrench on it and smack it with a mallet

Links are up

Torrential downpour here while I was putting them together, but now it's sunny again

Being trolled by the weather and urban infrastructure. Went to the cob shop in a t-shirt as it was bright sunshine out; emerged a few minutes later to a grey sky and continuous light drizzle, and the pedestrian crossing was just ending the green man phase, forcing me to wait for ages to get across the road

On the bright side, I have a bacon cob

It'd have to be a very narrow molewrench, the bit that's spinning is a nut insert with a socket cap screw loctited (I assume) into it.

Very little purchase available.

If I'd remembered I'd have brought the one I used to use for brake drum springs in, but I forgot.

The WD40 has made the nut insert spin even more readily.

ah, - without seeing it, can you jam something between the insert and the inside wall of the hole ??

Picked up a load of half price meat from Waitrose. I likes a bargain me.

Suppose I'd better head out and run the errands that didn't get done on Friday for medical reasons
