	Just a quicky. Got home this week to another parcel from Jonesboro in Arkansas My friend Steve of the two Purple Hearts, had gathered me some plates that fit right into my box of interest. The RC Cola vanity plate is cool, as I used to drink it years ago in South Africa. Randomly other stuff. It is winter in South Africa right now. And COLD. I saw 37’C in my car this week. A friend sent me this pic, spotted on the way to work, yes, real central heating. Note the street sign. In South Africa, a Traffic light is known as. ROBOT...... New meaning to getting on your high horse??

	Dennis has continued work, and collection of bits for his replica gas station. Soffits are the current challenge, the interior is long since completed. Yesterday he went to a dodgy part of St Louis, guns needed, and bought one of two payphone boxes. Number two to be collected soon. Busy weekend, loads done over at Sally’s place And sunset by her. .

	A few random bits. Dennis put up a long distance telephone to support the call box. One of my current favourite builds. Started out with a rotted out VW Beetle. BUILD THREAD AND MANY PHOTOS HERE: forum.retro-rides.org/thread/208336/bubble-top-vw-beetle-thread Resulted in a prize winner. Unseasonably hot weather has resulted in early harvesting out back behind my house. Really good yields this year. Enough to waste too. Even Harley was not enjoying it. Seeking coolness on the lawn. And after a stream or is that bunch of time wasters so far, I washed the Blazer this morning early and put it out front with the For Sale signs up. You never know, you know. Still a neat looking rear end. .

	Today was a busy one. We did loads, saw much, ate well. And laughed a lot, visiting various friends Bought, scavenged and collected stuff. All I want to share is a bunch of kids toys seen really. So off to Faversham for a market, and then visiting mate Neil nearby. Saw one of these, would love too find one or more of them. Council,offices, from a loooong time ago. Decommissioned water pump. Then my highlight of the day. Love this one. Not for sale. Loads more done, tools and machines collected, bought etc. More later.

	Hi Grizz, regarding the sheers - look up Burgon & Ball. British company with huge history. The sheers are still in production and have been for a hundred plus years. I’m sure they are the oldest design still in production today!

	Thursday I called a mate whom I do not get to see often anymore as my job has evolved and the territory changed However some friendships are cemented in simple trust and knowing who has your back. In this case, both of us know it. After 45 minutes of catching up on travel, kids, dogs, cats and the rest, he randomly asked me if I had a trailer. I thought he needed to borrow one, and said yes, I had a bike trailer with no sides, but he was welcome to it, and that I wished it had sides as it would possibly work better for him (he is not a biker, so would not be needing a bike trailer of course) So he replied that he did not need a trailer, but had one, and did I need or want one. He would send pics on Friday. On Friday he sent these photos, and I realised I would happily offer it a home, so I asked him how much he wanted for it, to which he replied: A Handshake, drink a coffee with him, play with Max their new dog and collect the two litres of South African Brandy he has had stashed away for me the last two years. Now I just need to get to collect the thing 30 miles from here, as none of my vehicles have a tow hitch. craigrk May have to collect on my behalf on his way here to collect all the treasure he has at my place. Friday night after a rough week at work my V8 addiction broke through and Sally and I needed to go for a decent drive in the Blazer So off to my local, serviced gas station where they still fill your tank. And then off...... Sally likes to take photos when I am not watching. Eventually back home, I parked the Blazer up over the street, in case a potential buyer stopped to look. On Saturday Sally and I went to Faversham to a street market, afterward we went to see mate Neil, who sold me my new welder a couple of years ago. He also sold craigrk a 75 liter compressor while we were there, into the back of the Focus it went. Then to the Isle of Sheppey to deliver the Radio Flyer race car to mate Aaron, and check out what he was up to. He pointed out the small skip and mentioned stuff he had tossed in there. Included was a good welders mask, about 20 hardly used micro fibre cloths bag, 200 very large black bin liner bags, and a load of random stuff I did pass on. Micro fibres already washed and dried. However............ This, came home from his workshop. Complete Porta Power tool.

	That’s a nice little trailer. Whereabouts is it? If it’s near me I can always pick it up and drop it off the next time I’m passing.

	Bootfairs were big today, both had large fields filled to the brim. However, as @johnnybravo says, loads of Pink stuff. For those who do not know Bootfairs, side view. Some small wooden masks. Managed to convince craigrk that he needed one of these. Massive length of 3M double sided tape, cheap. I love the romantic notion of Cuba, and the cars there, possibly linked to my current want, to change the Blazer for something older. This picture cost me a whole 30p and it’s love.y. And all together now...... Listed below. So. Lovely Vintage gate bolt for Craig 20p Two small wooden masks for me £1.00 Ice trays for Sally 70p the lot 3M double sides tape Martin £2.00 Stars scarf for me £1.00 Cuban picture for me 30p London Bus £1.00 Clay bottle for garden 50p VW mug 20p Extendable metal Shoe rack for Sally £2.00 “Radio Flyer” Cookie jar for Craig £2.00 Buy of the day for me. MEXICAN BLANKET £2.00 In other news, the “Hotrod Shopper Bike” I did a few years ago, came back from Mickey, headed to Craig’s caravan site. Weekend almost over. All that left is to go for another nice drive in the Blazer. Yup, needs must.
