Played at a 70th Birthday doo at Skipwith Hall in the beautiful village of Skipwith near York last night. Witnessed some awesome dancing from the crowd and some lovely food which was slow cooked in an aga for hours. Yummy. Plus endless cups of tea.
We learned a couple of Van Morrison tracks for this gig and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed playing them. Best crowd reaction award for the night goes to Fire by Jimi Hendrix.
Another gig on Sunday at the village festival.

Re: Stu
Setting up earlier for the village festival. We will be rocking Church Fenton at approximately 1730 hours. All my biggest fans will be there including the vicar and the local transvestite
No Beatles or Stones tracks will be harmed in the making of this performance.

Re: Stu
A neighbour sent me a photo of a photo she took in the late 80's of my pet donkeys. Sarah and Beauty . They lived to almost 40 years of age and I was devastated when they passed. They could somehow tell if you were feeling a bit down and come give you a hug. If you were sitting down they would come up and put their head over your shoulder. Donkeys are on the whole very placid and loving animals which can be very comforting in times of stress or sadness. I miss them so much even though it is 19 years since they went. One day I might get some more

I've never owned a donkey, but I did buy one of their jackets.

Re: Stu
Welding nearly finished on the Daihatsu Fourtrak. Passenger side has maybe an hour of actual welding left.

Re: Stu
Inside the wheel well. Only about 2cm was welded before stopping and moving to another location so the metal didn't get too hot. All these welds need seam sealing now with Upol tiger seal.

Re: Stu
Front near side wing was removed to assess the nasties lurking there. J was pleasantly surprised to find it was in relatively good condition for a 26 year old working vehicle. The front grill and a couple of other bits needed to be removed first to gain access to all the bolts.
The actual wing has a small amount of surface rust but no rot so it will get a good wire brushing, some rust convertor and then paint.
The bulkhead and inner wing is good, just a bit of rust near the front body mount but no welding required
