I was just about to take this old child buggy to the tip when I thought, how about a bicycle trailer?

Trailer one, workmate 0.

Yes, I must make a new plywood top for that one. The cheapies come with chipboard tops.

G'day fellas.
Tuning in a new smart (not me) TV. https://tinyurl.com/yxcmh7pz
Only took 2 hours to get all the TV channels and link up the Wi Fi. So there was enough time to finish the rear tyre change on the cafe. Then got stuck on YouTube for the rest of the night. 
Cheers

Oooh Musky watch out... Smart TV? Big brother is watching you!

Loads of work going on in the house but ran out of plumbing supplies and the workies van was blocking the drive so couldn't get the car out. It's amazing what you can carry on an A10!

Been trying for the last few weeks to get my latest project fired up to make sure it runs before spending any more time / money on it, but things keep getting in the way. Took the boat out Thurs. Only gone six miles when a waterpump shaft broke, so back on one engine and spent an afternoon rebuilding the pump. Lucky I keep spares but, having now used my last good shaft, I enquired about a replacement for stock. Was quoted £147 so I spent Friday morning making one.  Then there’s a cottage window I’ve been onto builders for ages to replace the lintel. Ended up finishing it myself yesterday and today as the scaffolding needs to go. Today I was going to finish off the project bike’s seat etc ready for a (hopeful) start on the rollers but instead I’ve had to put the bike away as it currently occupies my hoist area and I need to get my partner’s car in pdq as there’s a bearing noise which I suspect is the timing belt tensioner. So instead of slowly finishing the bike off over the winter (assuming it’s a runner) it looks like it’ll now be parked up ‘till next year. Don’t like these delays, age is catching up fast.

Can you show us any new photos?

Neil - I posted an update pic a couple of weeks ago. Don't ask where it is - I can't seem to find anything with this site's search facility. Probably in the new section about 'other bikes'.

Rode my tandem from Calais to Boulogne and then back again over the weekend. Braze on for the rear rack failed and pitched a pannier through the rear wheel. Not the first time this has happened. Another bike in dry dock awaiting attention  now.

Late Wednesday night this week I’m on the overnight ferry to the Hook for four days of off road riding in Netherlands, Belgium and France with a couple of pals on a lightweight trailie bike trip. I’ll be on my long range SP.

G'day fellas.
After work I put up 3 new remote control fan/lights in the lounge room, bed room (gets hot & sweaty in there) and office. Neck & back is sore and now I've got a bl@@dy tooth ache. Rum then bed.
