Today I acquired...........

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Found this lot in a skip this morning.
They were full, so I left the contents behind, bar one. The cork is stuck.



To remove the cork I wrapped a cloth soaked in hot water, waited and it was eased out.
I don't even think @barking mat would try it.



This was also in the skip.
It has a sharp edge, but is very light.

Today I had to look after a small 3 year old human. The trip the above bits was get Small human food.
The small humans Mum had a hospital appointment and I was asked to look after my little friend, always a happy few hours.
They are not in a good place with funds. but They get by. But the small human knows this.

So when Mrs Posty dropped a large box for me.
I remarked that I had got a present,
"Is it your birthday" I was asked.
"but presents only arrive at birthdays and Christmas"
My little friend was confused. But I said if Mummy says yes, you can help me open it.

Big smile.
Do you know what's in it?
No.
More confused looks.



The box.
It was very well inspected, to big to shake, but it did get a good finger poke.


I opened it, as it was well sealed and scissors are sharp.
"Mummy has a pair of scissors like them."

The bubble wrap was carefully placed in a pile to go home, why? I don't know.



Each item was wrapped well.
This meant a lot of carefully taking a part and laying out, even time to have a Kinder egg break.

Every item was carefully looked at, played with, Asked what it does. a thousands questions.

This is the contents placed on display, according to Small human wishes.

Take a note of black box, rear LHS.



This made my friend happy. We spent a lot off time rolling the balls at each other. For some reasons they took her fancy. But she said she did like them, but.

Mummy came back we had a nice take away.

Little Human was Over the moon when I said she could take the balls home. I have a picture of her carefully holding the box and her cuddly toy being proudly carried to the car.

Thank you to the good person who past this on to me, your kind act has made some one very happy.

Thank you.

And a hermes

Mini review - It works, recommend it. Quite a bit bigger than the 13mm key chuck. No problem with small 2.5mm bits and lot quicker swapping. It only has 27mm insertion length (length of the jaws) but its good means the drill is hard against the back and wont push in and ruin the depth measurement.

And I have absolutely no idea how that last picture appeared .

No damage done, it could have been much more incriminating....

Had to share this with you all. During lock down I have been building a shepherds hut, its coming on quite nicely and about a week ago I mentioned to father, I am gonna need a planer to flatten some floor boards, meaning I was thinking of a small one from somewhere like screwfix, I had a bit of a shock today when father picks up a beast of a planer.



I said to father how am I going to move it about, he said you got a forklift haven't you, ha ha. So I had it tempory wired up this afternoon and its a beast. It scared me to death when it finally got up to speed especially the cutter block sound like a plane starting.

Its an old Sagar thicknesser dont know how old it is, but it will do what I need to do and more

Just got to love parents eh.
