It might be a couple of days before I can try out my new 100mm angle grinder that I acquired today (after blowing my 14yr old 1), but with 4.5kg roll of mig wire (instead of using the locally available 1.8kg rolls) and another 2kg pkt of 2.5mm rods now on hand I can get some more welding instead. ;-) Anyhow as the rain is still falling I think that I might go and make myself a coffee.

Not that long earlier, there I was, sat Zen-like crossed legged on the ground in amongst golden near ripe corn in a golden sunset in a business forum Zoom meeting! Oooops!! Well... I didn't have a tripod with me and the stalks were ideal for holding the mobile in place for working "hands free". All worked fine on mute and no video until... Near the end, my 'input' was required and so my cover was then blown! ... In the wrapping up, there were some (friendly) jealous comments about my healthy place for conferencing :-) All good fun and usefully good when the power of IT works!!

We're still at the same temp that I woke up to, 10C (feels like 9C), and the rain is still falling (maybe I'll get a break in it at 9am), but today's 15C expected max may again be a step or 2 too far away. Anyhow I better start of this coffee. Cheers. ID: 2102625 ·

Damn, and it's too early yet for a beer break. :-( Cheers. ID: 2102642 ·
