Just put a deposit on a 2009 Mercedes c250cdi estate, hopefully collect it in a couple of weeks.

Iāve got bass bins of that kind of footprint sat in my garage. Very nice indeed. Precision Devices drivers in them. I sadly lack the space and the appropriate spouse to be able to set them up domestically, but I do feel they potentially form the foundation of a very nice multi-way horn system.

Yep, the Reed hybrid tangential arm and Phasemotion cart with matching SUTS were all new and interesting - not seen before (by me)

Feeling smug for for acting on my fuel price risk reduction measure ( a full tank and 4 Jerry cans) a couple of weeks ago.
Price just tipped over Ā£8 per gallon!

I did the same a couple of weeks back and had some cnut shouting at me and the Tesco cashier who was bemused & unmoved.

This weekās walk, yesterday, turned out to be less walking and more trimming vegetation back off the path. This quite substantial piece of vegetation, in fact
Itās a full size beech tree (I think) which came down in storm Eunice. Itās not trivially accessible by motor vehicle, so when I went that way a week ago the tree hadnāt been touched. I was in a hurry then and it was getting late so I had to hack my way into the field on the right (through rusty remains of a fence, including barbed wire) and then back onto the path thirty or forty yards further on (more fence, and now undergrowth too).
This week I thought Iād go back and, if it was still there, have a go at it. It was. All I had with me was secateurs (surprisingly useful) and a small bow saw which meant there was no chance of cutting any of the more substantial boughs. And anyway I neither wanted them to fall on me nor to discover that they were actually stopping the whole tree rolling (some certainly were). By the time Iād heaved out everything from twigs up to branches as thick as my calves I was left with this.
You still couldnāt get a horse through (itās a bridleway) but reasonably flexible pedestrians should have no trouble. I managed it with a rucksack on. A determined biker might be able to lift an ATB through.
(The odd blurring effects in the second pic come from cropping down an image taken in twilight - the phone cam seems to lose resolution in the distance, making the path and the trees there look like theyāre disappearing into a parallel universe.)

Passed several fallen trees in the reserve that the Wildlife Trust look after, so I can guess what next weekās jobs will be.
