I think there's one of those in my parents attic, i remember my sisters using it. I was planning to throw it out whenever I could be bothered doing a clear out, might call the doctor instead if ever I'm allowed into the house again.

I love mine. Taking it out to the garden on sunny days to drink beer and play records is one of the highlights of my otherwise dull existence.

I'd love to get mine reupholstered though. Although working perfectly It's looking a bit tatty.

The HiFi guy told me how a friend of his had a rare and original Pink Floyd album. It was worth a fortune...until he played it on a cheap modern player. It cut right into the vinyl and made it practically worthless.

It's boat drinking weather. Pity I've no boat. Or access to water. And am stuck in a perpetual suburban nightmare. 8 months to Christmas?

You don't need a boat

You just need a friend with a boat

I had a great take-away indian for tea this evening, totally over-ate and had a nice beer with it. Then I realised I had no more beer so I went and got more, drinking it now. Took tomorrow off work.

Bought a broken thing and fixed it.

Bought a broken thing and fixed it.

What a great feeling

With my Covid time, I found this old broken blender of mine, that I had tried everything to fix a few times
A few clamps, some thoughtfulness and some Gorilla glue and it's whizzing away.
Same with my fancy glass coffee grinder.
Fixing things rules.

What did you fix?

A very old jigsaw I got on ebay. Catalogue says 1960s. A contact was out and the plug was a little out of whack. Kinda bought on a whim because I'm thinking of Mounting the newer one I have as a low rent bandsaw.
