Well, on Monday I spent an entertaining lunch hour roaming around Uxbridge high street gathering labels and bags and tags and things. I eventually found everything I wanted, but it was certainly a learning process! WHSmith is the place for little labels with string on, full size luggage labels and little re-sealable bags. Wilkinson was disappointing but I bought a load of el-cheapo food bags (10p for 50 small ones and 10p for 20 large ones – last of the big spenders, me!), and also a through-switch and plug for the bench light.
I also managed to pootle around in the garage a bit in the evening and rig up the light. It took a while but that’s mostly because I was enjoying being in the garage and just working at my own pace.
On Tuesday Justin and I changed the front wheel bearings on the Skorpion, which went very smoothly, so I shall be going away for the weekend! Justin works a lot faster than me, which was good given the light was going, and isn’t afraid to HIT things! I must learn that one…I’ve just given the Skorp a last once-over, adjusted the chain and checked the oil (which for once didn’t need topping up), so we’re all fit to go. Just got to pack…
