www.jaymillerscircus.co.uk/I like a circus - when they come to our town - I always used to take the kids then the grandchildren. Last year - there was a circus in town - walking distance from our house - Grandkids were away on holiday - so me and wifey - went on our own on foot - stopped and had a meal and beer at a local pub - seemed strange - no kids in tow - like going for a summers day out to the beech with no kids. But I enjoyed my evening...

Flat-out working hard this last week. I made an expected slot in my restoration schedule, so crammed several jobs through to clear the decks by tonight. Some of the work is gaining on me; I had barely got home last night from my shift in the shop, to have a "dead generator" turn-up on a trailer behind a quad-bike. Not scheduled, not really needed right now, and probably not fixable. But more welcome than the Disco4 SDV6 that I had to deal-with in the middle of the week.....what a job that was (as usual).
Defender goes back across the front (main) ramps tomorrow afternoon, once I have assessed the generator and sorted the newspapers out for the shop (Bank Hol = me having to do even more covering of other people's responsibilities......)
I have a series of checks to make, then it's "shopping time" for the last, major delivery of bits for that particular job. I still need to get the chassis-brackets and crossmembers bought, as they are some of the first bits needed.
I'm just having a sit-down for the first time today.

Is that a burnt exhaust valve? Any idea what caused that? Running too hot, too much advance or lean mixture? I presume that engine would be happy with 95ron fuel. Did you just nurse it along down-on-power or did you actually manage to change the valve and grind it in en-route?

This week is the Urdd Eisteddfod, which basically means I'm working away from home for a fortnight tryng to keep an internet connection and a lot of peoples' laptops online in a field in west Wales. For those who don't know what an Eisteddfod is, here's a taste of what's been going on www.urdd.cymru/en/eisteddfod/20231/

It was a productive weekend and we both enjoyed it.
