    if you look at the interactive map - https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/interactive-map then you may have noticed the dark purple area has moved out of the south east and is pushing towards norfolk through essex and suffolk, the current version of the map is over a week out of date as it still shows the pre christmas figures. fortunately for me the area I live in has become further seperated from that dark purple band as numbers in the south east have stopped rising. progress of the map will probably be as soon as the data is compiled from the current week.
  2. just as part of her history, for some future owner in 50 years time maybe.
  3. Griff, Have you not thought of keeping up the tradition and adding her new name to the handwritten names on the back of the seat?
  4. I must say your little helper is stealing the limelight in your pictures Griff, though she looks like butter wouldnt melt in her mouth.
  5. just drag them into the section below that says drag files here if on a pc, or click the choose files if on a phone, the forum automatically sorts out the file sizes if they are too huge.

    yet i was chatting with a friend who works at B&Q and he was saying that there were whole families with 3 kids who went in just to browse, handle the products, and left without making a purchase, just for something to do, because the types of shops they would have visited were all shut. hardly an essential shopping visit. ok they may have done it just to get out from the 4 walls at home i guess, but that doesnt make it the right thing to be doing, maybe outdoor exercise would have been preferable?
  7. I too would like to Thank Tim and Ian for their guidance and hard work keeping up with the upcoming legislation to ensure we remain compliant, Polly for all her unseen work in the background, All of the moderation Team, without whom I would be a lot busier, All of our event Organisers, for whom this year has been made particularly difficult, Pat and Mike for looking after the shop, and finally all of the members for at least mostly sticking within the TOS and making the moderator teams job easier.
  8. it may just be that their IT support is off over the festive period.
  9. I dont have a bucket list as such, its more -
  10. that appears to be the same one hung up on the quay heading that was shown the other day, though that was being sorted at the time i thought. i presume thats Beccles?
  11. If you look at Charlies earlier post it says its a LEC
  12. can the metal panel be replaced on the existing door, with maybe some brushed stainless sheet, alternatively a trawl through caravan breakers sites might unearth one, 3d printing the trim would be difficult due to size, as it would need to be in less than 8" lengths (for my printer anyway)
  13. glad i did that this morning now, while it was sunny as its now raining again.
  14. my day today, after ascertaining that an important delivery would not arrive today, i went back over to my parents today to repair their soil stack (as i know my 90 year old father would have an attempt if i didnt, as it happened we had to call my parent other support bubble member in as she (my sister) had anticipated the problem and had the key to the ladder which was chained up in their garage. anyway, with my sister supporting the base of the ladder it was up to the eaves for me and two new brackets were added to the top section of the waste stack vent pipe, this replaced the single bracket that had been held on with a single screw into the mortar between bricks, this had rusted through so the top 10 feet of the stack were waving in the breeze and at danger of separating and crashing through the conservatory roof. after this little 10 minute job i headed home again in the knowledge i wouldnt be called out to pick up the pieces if / when my father attempted the repair, he seems to have forgotten that he is no longer as young and agile as he was, and now has trouble balancing on a flat floor, let alone up a ladder.
  15. they werent always right, they had an acute sense of humour and an obtuse sense of irony
  16. This image showing the latest pre christmas update to the data shows that east anglia is becoming surrounded, and indicates that it is the next logical area for the spread.
  17. as has a large portion of the rest of the country, if you look at the pattern of the incidence, it is spreading from the south east as the new variant spreads from there through the country.
  18. a typical case of most fisherman out casting their lines on a day the fish are not biting.
  19. things i have watched on tv this christmas meanwhile I have been working on the model of BA, watching a few youtube channels, and generally keeping busy doing things.
  20. this is the first 8, my model does not need this fitting as it is modeled with the old style deck, pre lights.
  21. Well on my trip to support my parents this morning there are a lot of foreign trucks driving the back roads of kent today, i crossed the m20 at one point, and there was a single line of trucks on the hard shoulder, starting t ashford (where i crossed,) as i could see the back of the queue, I also would like everyone to spare a thought for the police who are out there managing the traffic. I also have a revisit booked to fix the soil stack that has broken loose from the house at the top, once i can get into B&Q to get a new bracket, little job for next week then.
