I’m sealing each section to its neighbour with a thin strip at the moment. The fabric is shiny one side and matt the other, and you can only weld shiny to shiny. I’ve made a dozen small mistakes and one massive one. Hopefully seam sealer will rescue me.

I’m heat-sealing the sides to the floor now. The other end of each section will get sealed to the floor next to the bit I’m attaching now, to form a tube. And all the sections get stuck together with a small seam strip. At first I didn’t have the iron hot enough. Dialled it in now, but I’ll probably have to go over a lot of it a second time.

First little bit of progress: cut a hole in one panel for the air valve, and a little reinforcing ring. Glued in today with some scraps of wood as clamps and it'll get sealed with the iron tomorrow when dry.

;)

The kit has arrived. There's not much to it: some rubber/plastic sheet, some glue, a valve and a bag that is used to inflate the boat when it's finished. I've also bought a sealing iron which is how you attach layers of the sheet together and make the structure.

I might be up for the swim ride. It's a few days after I do the King Alfred's Way so I may be really jazzed on cycling and want more or I may be in a foul mood and not want to see a bicycle let alone ride one.

I try and get out on Sparky Snr's canoe whenever I can, but I live in a flat so have no space for one of my own. I've been intrigued by inflatable packrafts for a while but they're too expensive to justify. Then I stumbled across this company that claims to use all the same materials to create a DIY kit that you make at home...

Yep. I make spoons occasionally. This is for that stuff so I could carry it on a ride and kill some time wherever I find myself.

Lovely. Thanks for that. Really nicely made.

Council wants safe bike lanes here but TfL hasn't funded it yet.

Article doesn't mention that she's a cyclist, but @amey passed by and saw her bike. Hope she pulls through.

I'm using a new MacBook Air. Would either of those work for me?

I'm only looking to play about with sending audio from a couple of Volcas and a Koma Elektronik Field Kit to my laptop, and then on to my HiFi via a bluetooth receiver.

Does anyone have a cheap audio interface for sale?

At Frensham you can rock up and swim: no booking, no payment, no oversight. Nice beach to sit on. Cafe nearby. And some good bridleways nearby too - it’s basically on the King Alfred’s Way, but the Londonest bit.

Frensham Great Lake is a good swim spot. Sadly a lot of the lakes in Kent and Surrey ban swimming, or charge for it, or make you join some dreadful triathlon club. There are good river spots, I'm told, but I haven't tried many.

Will DM now.

I'm out doing another loop later in the day. Sorry guys.

Arseholes.

Came down this morning to find someone has broken in and stolen brakes and grips from my partner’s bike. She’s not one for fancy parts - does anyone have a set for sale? Callipers and levers.

Anyone who wants an aloe plant can come to mine and take a little baby from the side of the pot. It grows like a weed and I have tonnes of it.

DM incoming

Are there spots available? I'd like a non-leather one with the sky blue thread and webbing if so.

Bump.

What's the best small bar bag, just for a few snacks, phone, tools?

Oh, amazing. Are you in this weekend? Maybe I can swing by and get them?
