I did absolutely sod all other than sit on the swinging bench out front of the house, AM transistor radio on, enjoying the day with a mug of coffee.

23C, light breeze. Coolest it's been in a while. Dry northerly breeze which is nice.

Tuned to some Mexican station out of the city. Can't understand a word of it but it's musical and good to listen to. Damn good radio, that.

Being America, I hope you had your AR15/Winchester in one hand too as you rocked back and forth.

Went to storage to put the Dolomite back seats out of the way. I didn't really trust them on the floors, as rodents may decide to make them into nesting material, so I put them in the 1100.

It's looking a bit sorry for itself with the suspension gone down one side again. Going to have to sort that out when I next have it out. Probably that dodgy bit of rubber pipe held on with Jubilee clips which joins the back and front sections.

Don't be silly there's no need for that, that hand is required to hold a bottle of 'shine plus he's got a 50 calibre machine gun mounted on the front porch "for home defence"

Actually, I did end up doing things. I went checked the mailbox, and the heat shield mailed late Thursday arrived here today.

I'm going to the garage today to clear it out since it was burgled. They left it in a proper state. I need to make space for the mx5 I haven't driven for 3 or 4 weeks. I can practically here it dissolving as I walk past in the cold and damp. Poor little thing.
Partner owns the flat my mother rents. My mother won't let me put the car in there as she uses it for her gardening stuff etc. The garage isn't on the rent book ffs.

Should it be stored with the roof up or down?
