Just seen this last post from you Ferg. Glad you actually like it on the bracelet. I switch mine between a black Tropic for Summer and the bracelet for Winter. Each time I swap around, I think it’s an improvement. I guess it’s just a lovely watch?

Did you get good weather in the lakes? It makes all the difference. I'm pretty sure you will get good weather in Turkey, although I've never been :D Mixed weather for the first week and pretty reasonable the second. The wife’s been visiting the Lakes most of her life, whilst I first visited when I ...

Steam boilers are my specialty. As such, I’d say your plan is boiling hot so you should steam right ahead and get your order ...

Update on my Pixar Lampshade: Cocoa is doing well. The eye has healed up nicely, although he’s still getting told off for rubbing it! Look away now if you’re squeamish! 0BB18601-E9D7-4571-99BB-7D6CC7B65E06.jpeg C4D67DE1-691A-46C4-B203-B0A3919F23E6.jpeg 38C7D07D-1365-4F18-89B1-25D695F2417E.jpeg

^^^ I think the problem might stem from the fact that Matt’s insurance company talked him into letting a claim handling company deal with it for him because it was a non fault claim. They sold it to him as a better option, due to the “free” hire car and waiving of his excess. (Which he would have ev...
