Today when I returned home I found a small package awaited me. It contained the required stickers for the C-125, from Mark and Ewan of RESTORATIONDECALS.CO.UK. So it was into the workshop and get stuck in. One last thing to do and that's a new exhaust sometime.

Sorry I didn't make it, Dave. Best laid schemes of mice and men etc.

All the Best, Jonathan. Hope you have a good day.

A journalist friend of mine had no time for the likes of the Sun etc. Their attitude was/is, why let the truth get in the way of a good story.

We set out the plots today and the ground is good. Already for Saturday 30th.

All the Best, Gareth. Hope your having a good day.

A seat! Now it is getting interesting as to what it is. I do have a couple of ideas.

Sorry about Bethany. I know how you feel. Lost my last collie just before Christmas.

Don't know the answer to your paint colour question, Gareth, but where are the photo's?

If the digger was running ad hydraulics ok. Not bad for it and the trailer. Digger would most likely fetch that broken for parts.

We were going to set out the plots today, but due to the atrocious weather we've been having, and still are, the match is cancelled once again. Hoping to run it in a fortnights time. Saturday instead of Sunday.

I like the low, mean look. Get the seat down low and it will really look the dogs whatsits.

Well done George. We'll see how big a mess I make of things on Sunday.

I like watching ploughing with horses. A chap used to come over to us from Dumfries. He'd plough straighter furrows than some of the tractor men. Sadly retired now. Irikah is a fine looking canine.

Come on Richard hurry up. I'm itching to see what it is. Mower at a guess.

With the numbers etc, if in UK, try Meetens at Catforth, Preston. Google for contact details.

Most likely but entry forms will be a while yet.

I'll will put my entries in, but not sure If I'll make it down this year. Having a bit of bother with the leg I hurt and driving long distance could be a pain. Literally!

My rear discharge mowing deck is getting rather worse for wear. I've already replaced the top, but now the tin worm is getting the better of the sides. So today I went to see another I knew of. It was a bit grimy and the paint underneath was flaking due to being in a shed with an earthen floor. Shell is good and solid and everything turns freely. Looks like it has seen very little use as the blades are still sharp and keen. A good clean and some paint and it should be in service by the end of the month. After loading it into the Disco, the seller mentioned a plough at the back of the shed. He thought it was a Brinly and it proved to be so. In good condition and the share coated with a good layer of grease. Again looked little used. Needless to say, that ended up keeping the deck company on the journey to their new home. I declined the offer of the C-125 in need of some TLC, the deck came off. Discretion being the better part of valour. I've promised to put that in the for sale section.

I just looked at that photo again, Richard. I had a vision of you shaking the tank and dancing round the garden to the Konga tune.

I like the cutting farm and road side hedges bit. Think I'd prefer a tractor and flail.

I just found out entry fees were returned. No one tells me owt.

Paul Mackellow will no doubt help. He's a Tarpen collector.

Received a replacement sump Tuesday, courtesy of the Showman. Whipped the engine out this afternoon and fitted it. I also got the tach-a-matics fitted. So all that's left to do is wire up the lights.

That looks really nice. Well done.
