well it’s been quite a day, the lovely blue samco turbo hoses turned up from demon-tweeks. apart from the one that was red – but i sent that back and asked for a blue one… i told conor and he called me a tart and a wuss for wanting all the pipes to be the same colour… i reckon that i ordered a blue one so i should get a blue one….

had a VERY fine time test assembling all the big components on the kitchen table, it ended up looking like a cross between sticklebricks and that weird game where you roll marbles around everywhere… lovely !

I’ve got a quietly excited feeling. pretty soon will be day of judgement and then it will all be done (with or without a huge amount of swearing and wringing of hands – only time will tell) I think i’m just looking forward to when i can stop talking about it and just do it….
