It will be time well invested, I'm sure.

Bit of a fresh varnish outside, repaint some of inside, mainly left wall and roof, new floor and sort a new cover/front out.

Well, it's done now, just need to sort a front/cover for it before Monday (Rain) next week.

I've just sorted all through my gear to see what I may need...I'm all good at moment except for the smelly bait for in 2 weeks time....

I've also just come across a fault with my Bait Boat.

1 of the Springs that helps to flip the boat has snapped, trying to find 1 is hard work, but a quick solution wad a spring from the wife's hair clip, does the jib but will need a thicker wired spring for more power.

Yah, tried them....not that thick enough ot tightly sprung, I've managed to use a spring out of the wife's hair clip, the biggest I could find, and it was the most expensive and favorite 1....didn't fo down well.

Your Wife's favourite hair clip 😲 , you've either lost the plot , or you've got huge cajones .

I found an old worm liquid from dynamite. That's been in the garage for ages, so thought it may as well go on the cell and bannoffee. 

I found some hemp n pellets too, but I've found anything other than boilies @ the reservoir will result in bream😢

 

Good luck Highy

A mate has dug up a tub of worms from his allotment for me, pick up on mi way home in a minute.

I've had good results using a popped up worm on the hair. I carry a syringe in my box, for injecting them with air.

Ian.

It's been a long time since I've used worms (match days)....knowing I can get a mate now to rummage through about 20 allotments is great 👍...

Halves/wholes on the rig....chops in with freebies.

I must be the worlds oldest window cleaner mate had to let a couple of lads go ended up real stuck to get around the round in time. Not bad to be fair, thought I would be too old for it ladders are heavier than I recall, one of those jobs no one wants anymore, don't know why as you can soon build your own round up if you want to plus there is always work going I've doon it all started on houses and industrial done cradle work in London and four floor buildings off the ladder they use a pole these days for the commercial work really surprised they struggle to find young lads willing to do window cleaning.  Been offered a part time position might take it things have changed they don't even collect anymore it all goes through bank transfer it was the collecting that put me off building my own round im too soft to be knocking doors the grannies would be holding out on me lol.
