Today I acquired a new bin, it literally fell off the back of a lorry, well a big van right outside the house, I had to move it out of the road for the safety of motorists 
Today I acquired a dozen tack cloths, which is a shame as I'd ordered some more paint finishing stuff which is probably in Otley now, where the tack cloths should have gone. Still, it will give me something to do tomorrow. Also got some nice shiny stainless M6 screws to put the newly shiny panels back on the bike, only to find the threads for them have ceased to be..

I remember when I was a child my mom took me with her to do shopping and I always looked at the toys.
There was one always wished to get but it was already too expensive and I've never had the courage to ask my parents to buy it.
Well just finished to build it
First time buying from Würth directly.
Those were supposed to be used but they are brand new unused great deal.
And actually the most accurate packaging I've ever seen so far

Completed the acquisition today, a few weeks ago I got a 1936 Esso petrol can with a shell cap at a good price as the cap didn't match the can, kept watching Ebay and a 1930 Shell can came up with an Esso cap, arrived this morning so all I have to do is swap the caps

I only just sold the Shell/National Bensole, Esso and BP cans I last used to carry fuel in the 1990s - £30 for all three, with correct caps. Were of course my dads - dates from the 20's I think, all still fuel tight if a little second hand looking on the outside.

In Aldi yesterday, I saw some 12v heated car seats, £8 each, two left, and now none left 
Tried it on the way home, unsure if it were working, or just not very hot.
I got some led lights. Small and atleast 2h life on high. Intend to fit one on my welding lid.
I will stick this under the boot shelf in my car

I received this work bench today. Got it assembled, easy enough. Tip is to leave the table top in the box facing down. Attach legs then stand it up in one go.
I am 6'3 and like tall benches. I set this one to max and it is a really good height for me. Feels sturdy - solid 1 inch wood top and power plugs, USB A's on there. The box section has a bit of gravity to it and well finished.
The top is very nearly too nice to use! But I bought it as a workbench after all so I will use it
I will also get a metal "cap" folded for it. Say in 2mm mild steel. With felt stickie pads to create an air gap between it and the solid wood top. Then I could also use it for light welding tasks.

Hand warmers, they were sent RM24 so arrived much sooner than expected.
Would have preffered the red colour as pictured. I remember these are best in a small cloth bag to prevent accidental opening, which they didnt come with.
