    Dyeing a Tilley Wanderer T3?

    Well, don’t. It can’t be done :D Bought a sachet of Dylon hand wash dye in grey, the hat was a very faded green. Followed the instructions, but it’s not my first Dylon sesh so I’m pretty familiar. Wash, leave damp etc Hat dried with zero difference, a bit of grey showing but nothing has bonded...

    Eggs,

    All the emojis below the first two sections do it, it never got fixed.

    I, Robot , I Soldier.

    I wouldn’t know, I apply to pads and discs, sparingly. And my 2006 Toyota hasn’t needed a belt replacement yet, but it does have a laptop input :mad:

    I, Robot , I Soldier.

    That's actually a common fix. The pads are under such immense pressure that braking isn't affected. There are high temp greases specifically for this. Bit of light oil sprayed onto squeaky belts also works well.

    Eggs,

    When they stop flying blueberries from Peru and strawberries from Morocco on a daily basis then I might start to believe they’re committed to environmental causes.

    Eggs,

    Paper straws and brown eggs aren’t going to save the world. Sainsbury’s have little interest either, it’s just advertising and virtue signalling. As mentioned, there’s likely a financial reason too.

    What did you buy today?

    Barbour Border 8oz canvas jacket from eBay to replace the Dunnon I put up for sale here. The Dunnon is technically the same size, but the styling and quilted lining made it a bit tight across the shoulders. The Border should be better, VGC, great price.

    But it will have been paid for. War is literally nothing more than a business. There are far more effective weapons in the background already for actual wars.

    For Sale Barbour Dunnon jacket size L

    Size L in brown waxed cotton. It's in great condition, still with the factory finish, just starting to get the characterful sheening to rub points. No nicks, tears, or wear. The quilted interior and herringbone tweed means it wears fine in the cold with less layers than normal. This runs a bit...

    Coping with the heat.

    So the advice here generally, is "open the windows". :laugh: Here it's been hotter out than in, but the bricks and flat roof are heating up now so I've opened all the windows and have a fan running. Dog is on shortish walks to the stream where we paddle, and I'm doing everything slower than...

    Sharpenset knife sharpener

    Interesting. Hope that stone never needs replacing, it looks expensive. Are the slopes at top and bottom for different edge angles and you’re limited to just 2 bevel angles?

    My dad was a vet and got jostled by a cow he was injecting. Needle stabbed him and he got Brucellosis. It used to wipe him out, but only occasionally, though he carried it his whole life. Still does, 97 on Monday!

    I’m wary of anything that washes into our rivers and streams, not sure of the active ingredient of this product, only had a quick scan of the link, but I read an article about dogs with flea collars jumping into rivers and the chemicals being dangerous to aquatic life. Even spraying fly spray in...
