smallfry Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 This morning, on her way out, SWMBO said that there is something for me on the freezer downstairs. "Whats that" I asked. "An early birthday present" she replied, and closed the door behind her. I finished my tea, then went downstairs, expecting to find a pack of Raspberry doughnuts or something, but no ! Sitting on the freezer was a largish flat box with banding on it. Anyways, I unwrapped it to find this .......... Which is great, if somewhat expensive. Only problem is, I don't have the heart to tell her it doesn't fit my engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have too many "little asides" on at the moment. Seriously though, she doesn't have an agenda in that respect. No price tag on it, and we are both the same in that respect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
