And muscles in your poop .It's not the walls supporting an awning - rather thar the awnings are really designed as glorified sunshade parasols - not for protection against poor weather - so they tend to fold up and disintegrate like a sail on a weak mast as soon as there's anything mote than a light breeze.

£25k? You'd build a garage for that
True , but in high end Londonistan you need planning permission most of the time and a lot more money ........ about four times the amount .£25k? You'd build a garage for that
Brian's canopies solve that problem . I think he said the biggest one he put in was 18m long by 9m wide when opened up ,.. it was put in as a wedding reception overspill area and then kept for social events when the weather was a bit damp .
He also did/does these sort of set ups

Just ordered a Thermal Master P3 Thermal Imaging Camera. I've been wanting one for a while.
Our little terrier stood on a thorn while chasing a critter underneath a thorn bush. He didn't half yelp. No entry wound that we can see so not sure which pad it is, just that its his front nearside paw. He's been to the nurse at the vets and she can't detect anything but he's been limping for about 5 days, No swelling and he has a healthy appetite but doesn't want to put weight on it. If he's still the same in a couple of days then its back to the vets to see if there's a bit of thorn left in it.
Supposedly, you can use thermal imaging cameras so spot foreign bodies in animals as the blood supply usually increases in that area. I took that as a good enough reason to buy one.

My cocker spaniel did that. She was limping for a few days after. Then she started limping on the other paw. I spotted her - she saw my face - literally smiled and started walking normally again. She was incredibly intelligent. Dogs are awesome

Does this work on humans too?
I've a sore toe which occasionally feels like I've got something in it, can't see or feel anything though.
Got a telephone appointment with the practice nurse in 2 weeks, not sure what she's able to do by phone though

I generally hold a lit torch onto the skin in the area you're inspecting, (warm light tends to be better than white light, for some reason), & that usually illuminates the skin & flesh underneath, to a degree, so you can look for any shadowing within the flesh.

Every so often a splinter removal video pops up on my Facebook feed. Somebody starts prodding and squeezing a normal looking toe or hand then suddenly a 2" long splinter shoots out.
Here's one.
Here's one.
My Mrs got a sliver of Carbon Fibre in her finger off a tent pole at few years ago, that snapped off below the skin.
Because they couldn't see it visually or on an X Ray the medics were adamant that it wasn't in there, despite her finger building up a lump around it.
It took multiple visits to the nurse, GP etc before they finally gave in and sent her to see a specialist just to shut her up. Who sliced it open and got it out under a local anaesthetic.

Another jump pack.
Sis asked me about ordering her some jump leads, the other day. Told her to get a jump pack instead, so that she's not dependant upon anyone being available. She asked me to order her one like mine, & whilst I was looking, I noticed this one & thought: "Ooh, new toy.".
So, I ordered this for me & I'm giving her my existing Utrai.
Not usually a fan of stuff which includes a built in compressor, but I thought it'll cover two points nicely, & allow me to thin out my toolbag in the van by not carrying a dedicated 12V compressor. Doesn't matter if it takes a bit longer to fill a tyre.

Wouldn't it be simpler, easier and probably cheaper, to simply fit a new battery to the car and make sure the alternator is working? 30 quid bought me a new 063 batteryten years ago for my Lancia, and then another for my trials car - both still going strong.Another jump pack.

If there's a definite issue with the battery on mine, it'll be replaced. Could be some piece of equipment on the vehicle draining power. Who knows. If it occurs again, it'll go in for checking.
Sis, not sure if she'd left lights or something on. Again, who knows. Won't risk having her stranded though.
& no, simpler & easier don't come into this. Unexpected occasions are exactly that. Better prepared for unexpected occasions.
