Colenal - Engine update
Having fitted 3 new gaskets and lowered the idle speed - the newly christened engine is purring like a tiger !!
More importantly Dame came home yesterday with a bag of pink shrimps, banana curls and liquorice sticks selected from Jims supermarkets new addition of their pick & mix - I tried to look overjoyed when she told me it was a new addition, but I had gone on a scouting trip 2 days previously to find the proud addition waiting for a greedy sod - needless to say the greedy sod deposited his 3 euros and purchased a selection of treats that lasted until I got back to the house !!
I will of course return Dame's generosity, but will have to ask one of the neighbours children to go and select the goodies for me - as I couldn't possibly be trusted on a sole expedition without eating the whole bag & I only have limited funds now due to the demise of SCGL :)
OSD - looks like its a break out - or is it a kitkat !!
