...has mostly included me ripping the shed apart to try and find a 160mm IS to Post Mount Adaptor. 
I'd stripped the thread on the 203mm one that was already on there, so decided to go back to the original one.
XTC is been made back into a commuter bike (the Reba's were too soft, so the SIDs are back on).
Coiler has been rebuilt, only need the front brake adaptor to complete it. To my shame, t's been neglected a bit so will still need a bit of TLC to get it back to being awesome again. Brakes and an air-shock will be the next upgrades for it methinks.
Also, the shed light has been replaced with a new solar powered one and the outside garden light has been fixed.
Off to Morrisons shortly, then I've got to decontaminate the car then fix the washing machine.
Busy, busy...

You haven't got a good busying in you...
TBH, I don't know yet. I'd like to get a replacement rear triangle (or just the upper part that's cracked). The do occasionally come up on Ebay - there's one at the moment, but it's off a later model. Other option is obviously a new frame - possibly an Anthem. I've got time to plot and plan though, I don't intend doing anything until the spring next year. Coiler will be doing the off-road stuffs during the winter.0 -

I'm not allowed real electricity in the shed. 0 -
Does that make your wife the hippy? (Presuming it's her that isn't allowing the electricity).It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.
