I was swimming until latest lockdown in the local park, but it's been shut. Bit irritating as popping down there early in the morning involved less close contact than everyone in shops, pavements, parks etc. But it's classed like a gym. Really missing it to be honest.

Mountain biking would make you poor again

Needs to be picked up soon - I’ll leave it downstairs and retreat to a safe distance. Legs unbolt so it’s more manageable.

Not a single flake in London. I feel cheated.

These have been used, knocked, scraped... So you’d need to exercise your judgement on what to do with them. But I’m only looking for £20. In SE London.

What would an insurance company normally ask for when repairing the flat below after a leak? Images of the damage and a few written quotes?

Anyone have anything for sale? Preferably something aesthetically pleasing and comforting for arses.

We’ve had a leak in the bathroom, somewhere in the cistern, which is boxed in. I’ve made an access hole and we’ve had a plumber out to find the leak. He put dye in the cistern, nailed down that it was the cause and has cut off the supply to the toilet. He’s suggested replacing the toilet and cistern - changing the loo for a floor-standing one as we have a floating one and it has moved and out hairline cracks in the tiles. He sent a quote to replace the loo, cistern, and make good all the tiling on the boxed-in section and it’s come to £4,699. That’s mad, right? Any tips on who to approach? I’m SE near Catford.

I've got a Warmoth neck on eBay at the moment. If anyone on here is interested then I'm happy to avoid postage costs and ride it over to you (if you're in London).

Cheers. I didn’t carve the neck; I’m halfway through making an acoustic (all from scratch, neck included (in evening classes and this was to keep me occupied during lockdown. I don’t have a jigsaw at home so bought-in a neck.

A hi-fi knob could be fun. At the moment it’s got a chicken-head amp knob.

Now collected. Ta!

My first electric is finished.

Talking of which: I have a spare pair of O'Neill wetsuit gloves for sale, still new in the box. Anyone interested?

I've used this for years and it's internals are still going strong, but the power button rubber cracked and fell away. I spent a few months turning it off and on by pushing a key or a stick in there, but now that's given way too. I've ordered a new one, but anyone handy is welcome to try and get this one working.

Been in a couple of times. It’s getting quite harsh now. Swimming is ok, but it’s the changing and riding home that’s getting to me. There are a couple of tough men and women wearing normal swimming suits still.

Skully, I just bought a £90 one on Wiggle and it’s been ok. Have used it a dozen times in the last couple of months and it seems to be holding up fine. DHB something or other.

I came to Kraken Cove a little late and have absolutely hoovered Up the previous episodes. Really enjoying it. Particularly the fortean stuff rather than the quirky news stuff.

Asked Wiggle about this and they replied saying “we’ll get back to you”. Waited about 8 days for them to say “it’s out of warranty”.

Can’t believe you tracked down the replacement part. Thanks for that. I’ve tried a similar bodge as upthread with epoxy putty for now though.

This has gone now. Ta.

Used for a few years, but working fine. I'm going to switch to a Fitbit.

£30.

Excellent bodge. If you ever find any more spare retort stands/clamps/what-have-you I’d be interested to know. I made a lamp out of one once but some more parts would be fun to play with.

I had to remove some stubborn ferrules from a guitar headstock today. Headset spacers, top cap, a long bolt and a nut made a decent removal tool.

One-piece, yeah. For a tree that looks quite plain on the outside (maybe that’s just partly familiarity as they’re everywhere in London) they have quite unusual, warping grain.

London plane wood from behind Euston Station.

Made some progress on electric project.
