Car frozen solid and battery flat. Flat after 3 days without use....hoping I left the interior light on or something whilst working on her.
Spare battery on charge at the minute.....well has been since 1st this morning.

Painting and filling a crack in the spare bedroom today. Also hope to finish repairing my seat bolster on the Zed. It wasn't worn but I got into the Zed whilst wearing my overalls and the zip on my arse pocket ripped the leather on the seat bolster.
I bought one of those leather repair kits off ebay and just followed the instructions.
I put a patch under the hole, and spread the first layer of leather filler last week before I went away to work. Got back last night and rubbed it down and put a second light layer on it. Just needs rubbing down again this afternoon and maybe I'll colour it tonight or tomorrow.
It's a lovely day here today too, so might even get the car out if there's any daylight left once the DIY's done. Just got back from taking our Fred for a walk

Yep, easily done, I used to rip the zips out of mine.
Not Z related but got a beer run at 14.00 hrs to a nice old bar down here on the coast (quite a few barrels) as the 78th Tata Steel Chess Tournament is up and running.
Lovely lady owner of the bar always gives us a beer for delivering as the barrels have to go down in the cellar.

Just to keep it on topic, I normally go on a Sunday morning run around cannock, Rugley, Uttoxeter region, and end up over the reservoir, so although cant do today, we should fix up a Sunday Prayers meeting (Bacon Butties and Tea)
Have a beer for me Mike @hard top
I seem to have lost the taste for it. Only had a pint and a half over the whole of Christmas and in the 2 weeks since I've been back at work I've only had a one single beer.
Even the missus has noticed and has offered to drive me to one of my old favourite pubs in a neighbouring village tonight.
I must be ill or summat

Will have to join you one Sunday, used to work in Cannock at the college and get car paint from Hendesford whenever I have a little project on. Based Kings Bromley way so just a blast through Armitage and Rugeley to get there. Now its getting cold are they going to be laying the salt though Enjoy your run.
Enjoy your run.
Yep, just got back from Crummock Water, Buttermere, Honister Pass, Derwent Water, Keswick and then home. Bright and sunny and -1c. Snowed a couple of miles from home. Photo's to follow. Brilliant drive.
We went to Cannock. Quite busy but very icy. Took boots to go for a walk but Gail forgot socks. Just to dangerous. The roads were fine though. Nice pootle back home stopping for a bit of lunch on the way.Oh,I'd have joined you but I'm not allowed to play out today

No car pics but a few scenic one I hope.
Humph. Sounds like you had a great drive. Love that route.Yep, just got back from Crummock Water, Buttermere, Honister Pass, Derwent Water, Keswick and then home. Bright and sunny and -1c. Snowed a couple of miles from home. Photo's to follow. Brilliant drive.
Roads were fine but a little damp.

Yeah, only a few other cars round that neck of the woods, blissHumph. Sounds like you had a great drive. Love that route.
Oh dear. I've noticed three days without running its struggling to turn over. Have two other cars to jump start from. Must find my leads.
Went out because I knew jobs would end up being done instead. As it happened the sun disappeared for much of the day but it was a nice ride out.
Hope the seat repair is going well.
That sounds good. You can show us some of the best roads that way.
Now cloudy and snowing over here
