Friday List Anyone?

Lists
My favourite things
Best musical film
Who's a friend of Dorothy?
Who isn't!
10 proofs of existence

None of these, instead a disconnected list of updates to some previous themes.


DIY hand surgery
Never again, the first course of antibiotics seemed to do the trick
and I started to use it again. It started to hurt again, swelled up - an abscess.  

Having it lanced drained was gloriously gory and such a relief. 

More antibiotics.

30 years of amateur mechanics and I've finally learnt.
If things won't fit together, forcing them will result in hurt.
Usually to me.

Car porn post 'coitus'
I've not actually 'coited' with it yet but today seems like the after math of some guilty pleasure.
A come uppance
MOT day
I've not really looked at it since we got it so what happens is a mystery. I'll do the odd fix up to it but the camper is my main concern. I don't have time or energy for both.
News flash
MB 420se passed
Yippee
New garage peeps seem good
Fixed up blowing exhaust to make it an advisory

The Lawn
A new toy from the flea market, a sidewheel lawnmower. £7 needed a bit of tweek but now I can determine the cut. Not only that it does actually cut, next-door's hover mover beats, rips, tears, clubs, but doesn't cut.

The Sheds
I was tempted to repost Groundwork Day
I think I still will. As in the work goes on a spade full at a time but clearing the top soil away got easier. Next-doors rented a van to clear old furniture to the dumpit and in exchnge for some labour took several bags away. 

The influx of the middel europers means that around here we put stuff in street or front garden with 'please take me' and people do. I think it came from the ousties of Germany
Excellent way of recycling

'Abscess' - a most feared word. Hopefully it's all cleared up now.
Sorry to hear that feller.
Ouch!
