What did you buy today?

[hughtrimble]

This forum is determined to make me buy an Urban…

I really rate this Urban. I've had several UKPKs over the years but none remains; I prefer the smaller form factor of this.

... can I ask you about the bulb thing? Is that all bulbs or just some? My beloved Lumie 'go to bed slowly sunset' lamps, the old halogen bulbs are no longer supplied anywhere. I've kept the lamps tho, it would be wonderful if it was possible to convert the fittings

If they are the old E14 bulbs, you are looking for a dimmable warm led with same connector size. If you can post a picture and any writing on bulb stem I can have a look and see if anything that might be suitable.

Soldering iron. Now all I have to do is learn how to use it. Shameful to have reached my age without knowing how, but hopefully an opportunity to demonstrate that old dogs can learn new tricks.

How do you find the Gorka - Jacket and Trousers in general? I have looked at them in the past but dont know ( apart from you ) anyone that wears them. Overview please

Have only the trousers. Loose fitting, windproof. 100% cotton + the dark fabric 50/50 nyco-layer on top o the 100% cotton layer.
Nice outdoor trousers summertime, have used them only in the summer.

Resting after a long day out.

Also, you save in the long run as your not throwing collapsed unrecycleable pillows away every year or two.

Suggestion; Use them under the bee hive roofs to insulate them in winter. Sometimes the mice set up winter quarters in them as well.
