I've had a bit of a payday spending spree as its my 65th birthday soon.
There's no other bastard around to buy me a pressie that I would be certain to like, so I bought them for myself Laughing My daughter always sends me flowers or a treat of noms, anyway.

Can't remember what I've bought.
Nothing exciting ... some (more) perfume, some books, trainers, maybe a cake... Thinking
They'll turn up this week ahead of the birthday anyway but what the hell - I might die tomorrow, no pockets in a shroud etc

I'm also planning a trip to Marseille/Avignon with my Russian bestie, I was gonna go by myself for my birthday weekend but I remembered (thankfully before I booked the flights) that I had a cake arriving on my Actual birthday so I couldn't go. Shocked

So we're gonna go later in the year when there's less people and we're gonna take ourselves to a perfume factory on the way.

*hastily adds British passport to the list of necessary purchases* Laughing

A new (well one trip) 20 foot shipping container, dark green so it blends in, fitted with 14 vents. Plus some steel racking for the end, plus electrical stuff to wire it in plus scaffold boards to make a ramp.

It'll be storage for the bikes I'm not currently using, my ride on mower and some other stuff. Plus space to work on wood based projects.

Sportsbikeshop 'Special Edition' Scottoiler.

Basically a smaller vSystem and a bit cheaper.

D.I.D KM500R chain tool.

So much better than the Motrax one I've been using for years.

I do.
Was just missing an adapter so I could use the 3/8" drive torque wrench with the 1/2" drive 30mm socket on the yoke nut - it needs quite a low torque so couldn't use the 1/2" drive one

So... Very Happy
