Yeah, our Callistemons are flowering like crazy at the moment too.

Botanical curiosities aside, I probably should post some more Land Rovery bits.

I have been tinkering with the list of fiddly jobs which have waited until now for some attention: tidying-up wiring, installing and wiring the horn and wipers.

The wipers look brilliant. The arms are used items, but in really good nick (thanks, Cannon) and I bought the blades from Tex Instruments in the UK. They are really good. They have a nice stainless steel finish with sprung blades which are an improvement on the original flat jobbies but still look the part.

Cleaned up the door check rod retainer thingummyjigs too.

Then, despite the ever-present threat of inclement weather, I forged ahead and tackled the doors - the last big thing that needs Deep Bronze Greening.

They've come up alright. Hell, look at the reflection on the photo. In years past, my Landy's paintwork used to absorb light. Astronomists used to turn up wanting to study it.

Some more photos of the Landy. The bumper is temporary - just for when it's first on the road, until the bullbar gets straightened.

It still absorbs light. It only reflects light in the deep bronze green part of the spectrum.

Do you have a licence for those knees?

it is a good thing that he is clothed too,,......
