Thanks, everyone!
Yes, we will revel without pause indeed!
I've just poured the first single malt and the family will be arriving shortly.
As for the cosmoline, yes, that's close - Euan found a real gem of a gift in Alice Springs - a genuine CMP jack handle which I'll photograph soon.
The other very enjoyable pasttime today was to remove the exhaust system (or what was left of it) from the FGT, I've replaced the manifolds due to sheared studs and was just about to bolt the replacement pipes on when there was a cry from the laundry to the effect water was running down the walls.
It was an extremely bad plumbers short cut which caused it - needless to say the exhaust system is still in the "almost on" stage and I'll miss having my 50th birthday ride - oh well, tomorrow will have to do. At least the laundry plumbing honeydo has been completed.
