Morning. My eldest also going through the applying to Uni thing, got a couple of offers so now has to decide on top two. And the small matter of getting right grades....0

Morning, rather damp out more so when I opened the car door an kindly it sploshed water on my feet, I'm assuming the door drain ports are blocked so that should be fun.
Anyway driven in need to go to other places later which will be easier to drive to.
Dog walked/swam in the woods/marshland/collection of ponds. Plenty of flood warnings an the back road to civilisation is back under water. More forecast so theres a slim risk of being cut off but heres hoping!0 -
They're trying to make it a day trip on the train but if we end up driving I'll just sit in the car with the engine running - have heard enough about the locals being faster removing wheels than an F1 pit crew.tlw1 said:

You could try to fix it for May and fit in watching Chelski get whupped at Anfield.
Electrician in chez moi fixing couple of irritating faults beyond my capability. Failed low voltage LEDs in shower tiles soon to be replaced and working again; rated IP67, should not have cracked and failed so quickly. When someone knows how to do something properly...happy days.0 -
Probably a good idea and don't wear a Chelsea scarf, take strifey's car and don your diy clothes.tlw1 said:

What game reserve did you frequent SG? How's the wildlife, greenery, water supplies?seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
Day of unplanned other works. Fired up chainsaw sharpener for the little brush cutter, then cut back a bunch of trees overhanging gutters. This is to stop possums practising the Can Can on the roof at 1am, and also stop their sh!t ending up in my water supply.
🤮
Cleaned up shed benches, which were less than tidy.

Looks like we're going up end of next month. Maybe time to invest in a shell suit and some locking wheel nuts?orraloon said:You could try to fix it for May and fit in watching Chelski get whupped at Anfield.

Keep some VCR's handy to lob out the window if someone shifty comes over, it will distract themStevo_666 said:

Afternoon folks,
Another day of fun and frolics here. Got the old dear's motor MOT'd at least. Obviously it was fine and dry as I had to drive in. Still car shopping for the female child, maybe I'm being too picky but there are some right dogs out there.
Ordered new bike shed for the front garden so the Mini can be laid up in the garage, should get it by the end of the month if all goes well.
All our university visits are done thankfully, might have to go on a second visit to first choice to decide a few things. Thankfully it's only Sussex.
Stevo doesn't have long enough hair to pull off a wet-look perm unfortunately.step83 said:

'Kin locking wheelnuts. Had those on my truck. Until one night pitch black busy country road get a flat front tyre. Have to drive it for a bit to get to a pub carpark. Tyre therefore banjaxed. No worries, have the knowledge; barsteward wheelnut would not budge. Called out my brother to bring some serious leverage, nope. Had to abandon the vehicle and get it recovered to a garage where they had to cut the damn thing off. Other 3 nuts got binned pronto.Stevo_666 said:Maybe time to invest in a shell suit and some locking wheel nuts?
Sparky been and gone, all jobs done, big tick to have those irritants disappeared.0 -

Being picky is needed these days some questionable cars out there.0 -
started at lake victoria for some local exploring, wildlife rescue centre, kampala (crowded, exhaust fumes, etc.), trip to jinja for boating to source of the nile (there's a gift shop there)pinno said:...
What game reserve did you frequent SG? How's the wildlife, greenery, water supplies?
then up north in a 4x4 many hours, once well out of kampala it gets increasingly lush and picturesque
stopped at ziwa sanctuary where they have 'wild' rhinos breeding to rebuild the population, went trekking with a ranger to see some, it was amazing how close we were able to approach them, 4-5m from mother and baby rhino, really a privilege, plenty of birds and other things there too, deer, warthogs
then many more hours into murchison falls national park, stayed at an 'eco lodge', very private, only solar power, no tv etc. bliss, mesh 'walls' and a grass roof with fireflies, right on the edge of the nile, have to get escorted after dark to go in/out of your lodge as the hippos come out then, you hear them squelching around you in the dark
more 4x4-ing for game drive in the park, lions, heffalumps, various deer, buffalo, giraffes, umpteen monkeys, hippos, crocs, birds etc.
took a boat up to the base of the falls then got off and climbed the trail up the cliffs to the top, extremely scenic and no fencing or health&safety to stop you getting stupidly close to raging death
the only real blot on things is that for some insane reason (exchange of $$$ i assume) the chinese are driving a full-on paved highway through the national park, together with a bridge crossing the nile, this replaces a single lane unpaved track, there's also talk of damming the falls, which just beggars belief
construction brings employment to the locals, but ffs why rape the national park? tens of km of trees being felled, pollution, splitting animal populations and blocking their trails, and animals are going to get killed in large numbers by speeding vehicles
great place to visit, the ugandan people are lovely, in retrospect needed much longer, hope to return and take more time
my bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny0 -
Smashing write up SG. Not my thing, but a shame to hear that even national parks are being despoiled.0

In Kenya, the Chinese bought the last of the Chula Hills jungle. There was a mere 40 sq miles of it left. (I have a picture of me swinging on a vine off the top of our Toyota Landcruiser in that jungle).hopkinb said:Smashing write up SG.

This was in return for some investment. They cleared all of the remaining jungle for the hardwoods.
The problem with the Chinese is that they are answerable to nobody.
