I picked up a lathe a few weeks back. I managed to get it into my shed using an engine crane. Because of what's going on I got released from work and now I'm down in west sussex miles from the lathe. Working from home doing sod all.
Saturday my daughter is staying with me for a week then back to mum's. Avoiding people ect. I already know of someone who died.

Try this bread recipe. Really easy and the best part is clean up is a doddle, unlike sticky dough!!! Enjoy. Mike |

So far this quarantine oi av bin mosly:
- Cleared out and organised the shed. - Decorating the spare room - About to start decorating my room - Detailed the XC90 and the wide's Megane - Replaced the chain & sprockets on my Suzuki V-strom, about to overhaul all the brake calipers this weekend. Detailing that when the work is finished. I may even repaint the fairings if we're going to have a few more weeks of this. - Driveway and rear garden will be powerwashed to within an inch of their life after the bike work is done. - Humming and hawing over whether or not to order new door/drawer fronts and worktops etc for the kitchen and reface it all. Think that should take to me to the end of quarantine (hopefully)! |

It's funny how all the little things I could ignore about the house are now really bugging me since I've been around all the time! EDIT: To add to the list above...have a crack at splitting my waterproof key and replacing the battery. |

Not really Corvid 19 relevant but well. In a little used toolbox I found a good and effective hand operated countersink tool. Little things do mean a lot.
Some good news re Corona. I see for my area the graphs are encouraging. Yes lucky me, I hope. AND. I read that in an un-specified area. supermarkets are reporting NO CORONOVIRUS infections in staff. So. let us keep up the good precautions everyone. Blue birds over the white cliffs of Dover ... . . Last edited by Stephen Edwin; Apr 11th, 2020 at 12:24.

So my list have been able to crack on being on holiday then fulong from work up until now
Front and Rear mudflaps Boost Gauge properly fixed in place Boost controller properly plumbed in Tidied up a few bits in the interior Fit the spare proper Bougicord ignition leads Replaced the snapped crankcase breather hose Fit some front door speakers Replaced some fixing for front headlights/grill New P/S belt Fit Headlight protectors Fixed sagged driver side bolster Replaced inlet manifold removed EGR (bits left on donor engine car never fitted with one) Replaced injector seals and filters Replaced a bunch of vacuum lines Washed, roof and bonnet clayed and made a start on polishing and waxing Still bits to tidy up on them, such as the front door speakers are a little deep/wide at the back so got some shallow/smaller magnet ones coming and these can go into the back, need a few new fixings for the mudflaps etc but have been putting off loads of these jobs for at least a year, due to work and health issues but really glad been able to get stuff done feel much better with the car now. The S60 did get a wash as well, but not really fussed about that one, PCV needs done but that is far more of an arse todo so putting it off, Need to take the speedo apart and clean up the circuit board and replace the leaky capacitors in it but a little nervous to start that but will get on it soon hopefully
