M&S 500 piece Percy pig jigsaw puzzle. The edges have been completed. It's just a sea of pink puzzle pieces next to the completed frame and the picture of what the puzzle is supposed to look like in the middle of the frame

Just had that moment of regret for starting this

The Aubin trophy in the MLA heritage rooms. This trophy consists of a single big lock at the top and 5 tiers of locks underneath which can all be simultaneously operated by the key at the top

Managed to visit the MLA heritage rooms yesterday for a chat and look around. Doesn't matter how many times I see this. I'm always happy to just stand around and peruse all the little bits of it. Cannot wait til the day I finally get to see the Aubin trophy in operation.

Maybe I could have kept it on the drive, sorn'd it and worked on it, but at the time I lacked time, tools and competence. In fact, I still lack those things when it comes to working on cars

Just a combo of things. 5 speed made motorway driving quite loud. AC no longer worked. 3 door made getting a kid in and out of a child seat a pain in the back. It had made it to over 100k miles, so I had plenty of fun with it.

I do sometimes think back and wonder if I should have just taken the hit and got someone to rebuild the gearbox on my old 2001 Polo GTI

That soup base looks amazing

I never threw mine away from the days of landline and have since picked up a couple more off either fleabay or fb marketplace for a few quid each for wife and kid

They had to unbrick their first phone?
