Package arrived, with goods spot on as expected. Thank you and best wishes.

AGS scope, I used it for air rifles and 17HMR. Illuminated Mildot reticle which can be red or green. Comes with a pair of dovetail mounts. £40 posted.

That's funny - I did a bit of Googling but got drowned in the results. I'm not very confident in some of these garden tasks!

I realised that I forgot to prune a couple of small rose bushes and also some blueberry bushes (also small). This mild weather see them already budding new leaves. Should I just leave them alone now, ie is it risky to the plants if I tidy them a bit. I also forgot to divide some rhubarb crowns, and the first new growth is showing there as well - again, have I left it too late and should not do it now? Thanks! John

When I bought mine I thought I would make more use of the high spindle over bed. In the end I think the largest things I ever worked were the odd brake disc or drum. To be honest I have had *some* decent results from the mill, I'll dig out a few pictures. What face mill are you using at the moment? It does some decent work in the small footprint, and space is at a premium for me too.

Nice one! My lathe is also a Chester 3-in-1 combo, but it is the Model B Super. It is not as rigid as yours, especially in milling. The lathe side of it is OK for anything I needed so far. I have a long-term project in mind to split the mill away from the main machine, and make a stronger setup all round. Failing that I would just sell it and buy two separate machines.

Nord has been very good in my experience. I have used a few over the years, including when working in China where a VPN is vital. I buy it with three-yearly deals. ExpressVPN is pretty good too. There are plenty of cheaper or free ones if outright speed or amount of data is less important.

Regards the thread title, Decimal Day was the 15th of Feb 1971.

That's a fave of mine, excellent.

No gravy this time, true. Frankly I prefer to butter the potatoes/veg and have something like red currant jelly on the side when trialling ideas. There was practially nothing in the bottom of the pan that might otherwise been scraped into a gravy. I had some of it cold in soft brown rolls today for lunch, and was pleased with that.

I've finally got round to trying an air fryer - specifically the Instant Pot Duo Crisp with "Ultimate Lid". I found it on special offer, and got it mostly because it is supposedly multi-functional. For my first attempt at a meal I decided to use the Roast function and do a Muntjac haunch. I'm more used to gas ovens, and would normally do this at Gas 7 for 25 mins, and then Gas 5 for a further 20. I decided to go for 204 C (the max) for 25 mins and 170 C for 20, plus resting time. The weight of the haunch (bone in) was 1200 grams. I made a rub of olive oil, black pepper, oregano & basil, and a splash of maple syrup, and in it went. I went ahead with the first phase, setting it for the 25 mins, but when it came to the second phase I realised that it wanted to cool down before I could start it at the lower temp. That resulted in quite a pause in the cooking, I tried to help it cool by opening it. I do not know if I should have set it for 45 mins and tried to drop the temp at the right time, has anyone got advice on that? Anyhow, it looked OK ( apart from a bit more charring to the top than I would have had in a normal oven ) and a meat thermometer read 65 C in the thickest part. I bet there would be less charring without the maple syrup. With the delays etc, once rested and veg prepped I was utterly starving. It tasted very good, I went back for seconds.

Sometimes sold under Rock Mount brand, also Champion brand. 13.5"-23" bipod with tilt. As new condition. £29 posted.

Corners like that are also available from places that sell shop fitting stuff. However, it might not work for you without a bit of extra work as the two tubes have different wall thickness.
