The hose of my track pump had split and air was leaking out when I used it, so I cut it off and pushed it back on. The tube is narrow and the walls are thick, I have found over the years that talcum powder is the best lubricant.
I needed pliers to unscrew the clamp screw and my Swiss Army Knife to cut the hose off.
I'm not superstitious so picking my "Lucky Something" for this weeks theme was hard, however I have been carrying around this awesome pocketknife for over 12 years so I guess you could call it "My Most Useful Something".
I've certainly been lucky over the years to have had it with me as it's come in handy too many times to count.
More details and other images to come on my blog soon!!
We were in Bicester today, as our daughter was working from home there. We looked after 3-year old Smaller Miss, and later on fetched 5-year old Little Miss from school. There was a lot of cutting of paper going on, as Smaller Miss has discovered the joy of scissors. She's a leftie, so has her own scissors, but also enjoyed using the ones on my SAK, which seem to work well with either hand. We also played a few games together.
In the evening, I went for a walk around the village, and a deer came through the hedge ahead of me, from the left. It looked at me for a while, but when I got the phone out for a photo, it crossed the road and went into the field on the other side. Low light gave a poor photo, but you can at least see it's a deer (or was it a kangaroo?)!
With only a bed and two chairs in the whole apartment, it's time to fill it with stuff.

I only recently found out that Wenger was absorbed by their more internationally known rival, Victorinox. All Swiss Army knives will carry the pointy, "plantsa" shield of Victorinox from now on.

Harry and Peter's grandfathers gave them each a Swiss Army knife for Christmas, along with an extended safety lesson.
As a boy my movie stars were very clear to me, they were called "The Marx Brothers", but being all desist by that time, my only dream of meeting a movie star was concentrated on Mowgli and Baloo. So when I got a one-time opportunity of meeting a movie star in flesh and blood, I almost overlooked it entirely.
It was 1981 or maybe 1982 and I was a 7 going on 8 years old boy living in Jerusalem, not a city with a great star random meeting potential.
However, my parents had a friend whose husband, Mr. M., was a well-known figure in the Israeli local movie business. He was a man with some steep bohemian manners who got a peculiar gift of talking every given audience into the gravest possible outcomes of boredom. Never the less, thanks to him I got the rememberable experience of meeting the legendary Goddess from Stockholm.
One sunny day, Mr. M. took us to see a shooting site of a TV movie he was involved in, a film about the dame named Golda Meir, who was known for her unique shoe's style, lifeless garments, poor cooking as well as for her political career.
The shooting site was The Jewish Agency main office building on Keren Hayessod St. in Jerusalem; a very impressive building which was decorated with some anti-bullet sand sacks which were part of the shooting settings.
We were all about to enter the building to have our look around when a hushing sound was heard. It seemed as though everyone stood still and looked at one point behind me. Naturally I did the same and looked backwards wondering about it. And there she was, walking towards us, an old lady wearing a funny looking toupee smiling with an evident embarrassment, trying to avoid a direct cross-glancing as she was entering the safe grounds of semi darkled building. As she passed us, my mother has leant at me, and asked, "Do you know who that lady is? That’s the famous actress Ingrid Bergman!" I didn't know anything about her at that time but considering the reactions of the people around me I was sensitive enough to be impressed.
Golda Meir turned up to be Bergman's last acting role as she has died the next summer. So I can hardly say that our meeting was a beginning of a beautiful friendship, still I have grown to love her movies and keep a worm part of special respects for her role in Casablanca which was the nourishing ground for my most loved Marx Brother movie – "A Night in Casablanca"

I stopped at the Tilgate Golf Club café for a coffee and a rather nice Bakewell flapjack. My Swiss Army Knife came in handy to open the packet.
Here is the last of the three knives that my biking friend gave to me shortly before he passed.
After researching extensively, I've determined this to be the Hunter model, which is actually a Viking, but with the Kentucky rifle added on the scale.
This knife was a roadside find, and as such, the handle scales were pretty nicked and dinged when I got it. A good scrubbing with dishwashing liquid and a scrub brush, followed by a compressed air drying, topped with some oiling of the joints, and this knife was ready to be polished a bit.
The back side polished up by hand quite nicely, but this side took a bit more effort. Not only was it in tougher shape, but I had to mask off the images so I could work around them without damaging them.
The blades have some scuffing and a few scratches, but that's okay with me. I don't need a super high, perfect finish on my knife. After all, it still looks a lot better than it did when I began.
I never thought much about the Swiss Army Knife, even though I had one some years back, however, this one has instilled an interest in me. These things really are a well thought out and built contraption - and useful too. I have a few others (advertising knives), but this one just got my attention. It likely won't be my last.

I picked this card up for free at Target, but I had to put $5.00 credit on it to purchase it. It's apparently hard to find now, go figure.
When working in tight spaces without room for the PEX cutting tool to make a complete rotation, the Victorinox Electrician model Swiss Army Knife with the razor-sharp sheepsfoot blade comes in handy for finishing off the cut.
Victorinox could have named this model the Plumber; I have used it much more frequently while working with plastic plumbing pipe than I have for electrical work. In fact, for stripping wire (up to 6ga), I routinely use the scissors tool on my small Victorinox Ambassador model Swiss Army Knife.
Once again, we dropped Lucas at Pre-School at 8.30am, but today is the start of him staying all day on a Thursday, so he took his packed lunch as well. Bethan & I went to the house to do what we could before the removal chap, Scott Hickman, arrived to unload all the furniture etc from the MyStore storage unit. Fortunately Bethan has a garage as part of the house rental - although it's a couple of hundred yards from the house. It was very useful for putting boxes in which had no particular place yet, or which were unlabelled. Bethan's Sainsbury's grocery delivery also arrived, so we were able to have lunch! Then it was on to unpacking, building the beds, putting on the bedding, and trying to get the place semi-habitable before we went to collect Lucas. He'd had a great day at Pre-School, and wasn't bothered by staying all day - was keen to have his lunch there :-)
Finally, at the end of another exhausting day, I headed for home. It's good to have Bethan & Lucas in their new home, and it'll be good to have my bed to myself again, and to sleep a bit better, but we will miss our house guests too ❤

It was sunny but chilly this morning, but pleasant to cycle to church. It was good to have a couple of youngsters with us in the service - grandchildren of some regulars.
I did some re-organising of my bedroom this afternoon, to make it better for when Lucas is sleeping in there with me next week. I also checked out underneath the shower, to make sure it wasn't leaking - the Artex in the room below (the dining room) was cracked a little, but I think it's just age! My penknife is used every day for some little job or other.
Mike was leading the service at Castle Eaton, so I walked down to Quenington church for our service there.
In the afternoon, I did a bit of tidying up in the garden, and also finally got round to cleaning off the brushes on my carpet shampooer. A friend borrowed it back in September, but it's been too cold for me to bother with cleaning it properly until today - and even then I had to finish it indoors as it got a bit windy. I do like to get it properly clean in between uses, as machines tend to work better if they are looked after!
Last year I thought that small binder clips might be an improvement on my system for hanging prints to dry, while separating them to prevent smudging and sticking. At the time, I was using large paper clips strung on fishing line, separated using a kludge of tabs of painters' masking tape folded over the fishing line. The paperclips left impressions in the paper and slipped over the pieces of tape. In the heat of the moment, I had to untangle things and separate the paper clips again. The length of the large paper clips also meant I had to take care to avoid sliding one over wet ink. Binder clips would grip the prints better, while spreading the load over a larger area. Perhaps I could use the natural spread of the handles, folded backward over the gripping part, not only to hang the clips from some kind of cord, but also to maintain separation without additional components. Finally, they would be too short to protrude over a reasonable margin and smear wet ink.
The verdict: Binder clip handles can tangle, but this approach is a substantial improvement overall.
