Ferrari doing a nice job of celebrating Schumacher this weekend.

Yes not much choice out there. Perhaps finally time for some lowering springs

Changed the rear bearing on the Mito, solved the noise. Took it for its MOT and it passed but the tester told me to put my hand on the front spring whilst he turned the wheel - could feel it vibrating. Said to change the top mounts for next time. So not a pass with flying colours.

On the way back I ...

Know nothing about bikes but it’s a nice colour. Third guy really isn’t happy with having his photo taken

Over 1000 miles on a tank of fuel. I'll probably fill up this evening.

Should have bought a Tesla if you wanted an EV…! ;)

Impressive allrounder though - nice to know it can do the dull stuff as well as the fun stuff.


Why not recommend an i5 ...

Bloody hell what happened to Vettel?

Had to check his age - he’s only 39!

Sweet manure is an interesting taste profile
Occasionally the bees will add a bit of comb in places they’re not meant to. If there’s honey in it I’ll save it to have a taste but you do get some weird flavours. Most recent one was sweet and sour and that got returned back to them

Owner bought it in 1991 and just left it in an old garage. It’s still on delivery mileage.
Must have been one of those reptilian overloads because a human with a pulse can surely not resist to at least drive it once?!

I have 2 flowhives. The convenience of turning a tap and getting the finished product is great but that's about it. Cons are the all wooden construction. Like any wood structure it's fine when dry but after it rains everything is a pain to fit as it swells up. The pitched roof design looks nice but ...

If you fail only due to a blown bulb, then go for a retest the next day. Does it have to go on the ramp for a piccy?

It's too late to keep bees now but if you're interested you should sign up with your local beekeepers association and then enrol for a course next year or find a mentor to teach you. It's quite complicated at first.

They’re all in the same location, next year I will move one to the woods. The honey from the 2 hives is very different. The most surprising thing was that one batch was far sweeter. I checked the moisture content and both were at 18% but apparently it’s down to more fructose rather than glucose ...

Think it’s time for an update.
I finished the chicken coop.

For the nest boxes I ended up doing an external unit. It has sloped floors and baffles so the idea is the chickens will lay their eggs which will roll down the slope to an out of reach area so they ...

Better start saving for new OEM cats on all my cars then.

Surprised about the steer by wire rule. Surely that will have to go if any of the myriad of various self driving companies here want to eventually get legalised.

You can replace climate change with underinvestment for every time the government use it as an excuse.

Domestic battery prices are a ridiculous rip off.

Anyone need a commercial waste bin?

They’re nice shoes for £70 ish - which is what they cost a few years ago.

It does feel to me like the bad guys live longer. So the secret to a long life is maybe be a good person till you’re 70 then turn into an absolute cvnt
