Rog It's funny because I overheard someone on one of the balconies talking about a "one man band" when I got back to the mooring in my canoe. I suppose they haven't seen my woman and children To be fair they are quite undercover Part of the whole SIS thing. Hiding in plain sight is the best way ahead.

Yes but my policy is not to put up photos of them on internet. Oh you twisted my arm. I don't take pics of them this was one the woman took a few weeks ago 8th march actually. She'll kill me if she finds out but she is going to kill me anyway if the CV doesn't. upload image on googleETA yes they are real. Yes I have not quite got my head round it. Yes it has been quite a while. The centre unit is 8 in May. The unit to the right is considerably older around the late 40s mark. Unit to the left is 10 in a week's time. Once upon a time there was a twat. It was me. The end. ETA as I said to my sister earlier, and she agreed with me, having kids is the biggest mistake you can ever make and also the best thing you ever do.

The gull, for reference. The Facts Made either 56-57. Fuel mixture: 10:1 - smokey! Standard shaft. Villiers Mk1 magneto which means the ignition components are well past their use-by date. It may still run, but it would be unwise to depend on it. Lovely straight-looking fuel tank. Most are dented to hell. I have one which looks like someone used it for target practice. The barrel is the sort that has brass 'core plugs' which are of no great use but look cool when polished up. Later barrels were simply filled. Curious-looking clutch lever of a type I have never seen and may be a home-made repair. Everything else is standard for the year. The transom bracket is of the aluminium alloy type; a pity, earlier ones were solid bronze. But the thrust-block (halfway down the driveshaft tube) is of the earlier design - nice. Desirability to the 'Gullible' fraternity: not a great deal. But I would still be very pleased to have it. I'll be in touch when the freedom to travel is restored! Thanks Andrew.

I had thought that the steering arm might not be original.
It's yours whenever you would like to collect it, Horatio.
Assuming we both live that long. If one or other of us dies in the meantime then I think you will understand that it might get more complicated.
Should be ok.

We have a cleaner (now on hold ‘cos of the virus) and an ironing lady who collects on a Tuesday and delivers back on a Thursday. Ironing Jane, as she is known has been doing this for us for 15 years and her personal circumstances are such that we will continue to provide her with work as long as possible. Also I really, really, really hate ironing. I detest ironing as well ....... I just don't understand how people can say they love ironing and fine it therapeutic. I categorically refuse to buy clothing that requires ironing (and even gifts that should be, do without) I don't mind looking like a crisp packet - Mrs Gazza does mind me looking like a crisp packet, fair play to her; I'm not plugging the damn thing in and driving it! 🙈 There is normally plenty of ironing to do in our house - school (currently on hold) and nurse uniforms. My work kit doesn't get sharp creases in them though 🤦♂️ Somewhere about I have a picture of the boat ironing board I lovingly made for her, she wasn't exactly thrilled to receive it mind 🙈
