    Well still only the first week and I'm bored shitless
    Both bikes degreased, washed to within an inch of their lives. Polished, waxed and fresh lube.
    They have never looked so good, as shiney as a shiney thing.
    So I've lived in the garage for the last few days and the missus has gutted and cleaned entire house.
    I have even fettled her bicycle for her adjusting brakes and gear change.
    So what next.....
    Give me some inspiration...PLEEAAAAASE

    We’ve just finished teak oiling the patio set - it was bone dry when I took the covers off on Wednesday afternoon and it’s taken about 4 litres to do six coats for it to have stopped soaking in. Looks loads better. :)

    Just a shame the suns nowhere to be seen, the winds picked up and it looks like it’s going to lash it down. :(

    I just read those replies while stuffing a huge packet of crisps in my face, so I hear you on that one.
    I've almost followed suit with the decking bit but i dont have one but have started jet washing the patio area if that counts? Tbh I had forgot the stone slabs were different colours and not just grey / blackish :oops:

    In this order:-
    Mowed the lawn.
    Washed the car.
    Polished the car.
    Made an ally shark fin chain guard for the track CB500.
    Levelled the fence in the back garden.
    Oil service on the track Blade.

    An all of that whilst "working" from home since Thursday last week :rolleyes:

    Looks like you had a right blast!
    I'm not into the cameras, photography and the like, but how's that camera turning on the 180°?

    Its a 360* camera, so the video footage is a panorama that wraps around. So with the editing software you can bake in the camera movement.

    If I posted the raw feed then with the correct viewer that supports the metadata you the viewer could manipulate the point of view.

    If only B&Q was open ! They would be busier than the supermarkets.
    I forgot to mention at the start I had cut the lawns and washed the cars.
    I think a might get onto detailing the cars and rectifying any paint blemishes next, given the bikes are well sorted. Rectifying car paint is an outdoor task so going to be weather dependent.
    If I'm not seen to be busy she might give me a list of boring crap to do!
    So some game play going on too ;)

    Just to temper the frustrations a bit, Guys. World SBK has a selection of free vids of some of the great races of past decades. Just saying.

    Mowed the grass, done bits and bibs around the house. Sorted getting the work docking station and laptop set up in my work area, only have it incase my PC goes pop as that is a much better system.

    Broadband and phone supplier is swapping on Monday so may not be too much W in WFH on that day.
