If I don’t get what I want done, and I imagine that it’s a reasonable amount of work that I’ve set myself, I feel very negative about the things I did achieve. I feel like I should have worked on the Minor, but I know, logically, that I’ve never managed to get a decent seal on the LCB manifold without help. And therefore, what would have been the point? And had Jagdev have said ‘yes, I can get the parts’ when I rang then I’d’ve been stuck. On the other hand, when we hit mid-day I should have realised I’d not get the brake parts in time to fit and bleed them, so I should, maybe, have started work on the Minor.
At any rate, tomorrow I’ll have to get up early and do the Minor. I can douse the connections on Jejy and Vixy in plusgas too, in the hope that when I come to try and remove them I’ll actually manage to get them off in one piece.
Looking at the positives: While the radio is tatty, it is fitted. The parts I need are ordered and possibly even winging their way here. And I painted the kitchen window aperture (whatever it’s called) with basecoat to cover the shite layer of paint and flakey plaster up at the top of the window and the not-great plastering I did on the left hand edge. Ready to paint, my arse.
As a side point, I’ve not heard back from the builders about the quote for new work or fixing the old work since their ‘I’ll ask such-and-such’. See, negative.
