Jeep trackrod end done, the old one could be moved with my little finger.
Tracked up as well using my good old Dunlop gauges.
Sadly while I had the live data running this popped up.
And this was on a straight road. 
Had a wonderful meal in an Osteria in Lucca. Pacchieri with Octopus ragu. The town is very beautiful, amazing vibe

Got to church, wasn’t able to last the full service , but I walked there and walked back - and was totally Kerry Packered by the end
As the nurses tell me, I have to know my parameters and this is a key thing

Yesterday evening I went to the National Theatre (London) to see their production of Nye, the life of Aneurin (Nye) Bevan, founder of the NHS. Shown as flashbacks from his hospital bed, the lead role is a masterpiece of acting by Michael Sheen with a superb ensemble cast. Lots of laugh out loud moments and some amazingly poignant ones (I did have to dab my eyes a few times), it got a well deserved standing ovation from the preview crowd. As the play pointed out the NHS went live on 5th July 1948 so by chance I saw it on the anniversary.
Highly recommended.

Good day to see it 
We saw it in our local Everyman last year as part of the NT Live series. Mixed feelings really.
On the one hand, it was hugely entertaining and there were several very good performances.
On the other hand, Sheen is becoming increasingly Messianic and problematic in both what he chooses to perform in and the way in which he chooses to perform.
The great performances of his past were where he seemed to inhabit the character in a way you couldn’t imagine until you saw it e.g. Clough in The Damned United.
More recently though he’s put himself at the front of stuff which people seem genuinely scared to call out as execrable for fear of offending his new “national treasure” status.e.g. The Way and his self-appointed lead role in theatre in Wales. His awful hammed up motivational speech for an obviously doomed Welsh football team.
Staged was absolutely fantastic but it was Sheen playing Sheen and he seems to have lost sight of playing anyone else. His Nye, for Mrs. H. and I, was basically a caricature of Nye, a horrendous Welsh windbag played as a stereotype with zero inhabiting the real character at all. It was Sheen playing at being Sheen playing Nye rather than Sheen playing Nye.
Ultimately, on the night, hugely entertaining (and as you say, poignant and funny) we thought it suffered for being the lowest common denominator version of Nye and also departing from much of the truth of his role in the creation of the NHS. It sought to give Nye the sort of Messianic status Sheen seems increasingly to want for himself. Curiously entertaining and completely unsatisfying at the same time.

that’s nice.
Me, OTOH, waited almost a month for the D&L citrus mayo from Belgium. I placed the order on 6/4.

Get it from Amazon in the UK….which I have just done!
Devos en Lemmens one of the better mayonnaises.
Competes with Hellman’s for me.
Hellmann’s in the US is not as good as D&L. Too sweet and not tangy enough. However, restaurant grade Hellmann’s in Europe is different from a store bought squeeze bottle one. ( I tried one from Jumbo ) The former tasting much better.
My go-to was Kewpie from Japan but D&L beat it.

Now you mention it …. I must still have a small bottle of Kewpie somewhere! I think my daughter bought it for a Japanesish meal.
Thanks! I will try it next time.
…
Oops. They will not ship to the US~ 
it is a lot different from D&L. More mustard in Kewpie!
Hi Gazza
My guy does not self certify the building regs aspects (electrics). So my electrician is asking for a rotary 3 pole isolator with an internal fused spur if he is to certify. The installer checks out otherwise. It’s a bit like boiler installers who do minimal electrical work but are not technical competent persons electrically. Any comments @davidhendon ?
What about yours?
Phil
Well the installer thinks the electrician will just use a spare mcb…….they install next week and will arrive presumably with the electrician.

That sounds to me like your electrician is assuming that the HVAC will use a 3 phase supply, which I suppose it doesn’t.
I would have thought if it’s a single phase supply and your house is single phase, then putting it into a spare way in the consumer unit is the obvious thing to do. Maybe that could be a 1P+N RCBO rather than a single pole MCB though. If it’s an MCB then a fused spur wouldn’t be necessary for over-current protection but I would still worry a bit that there isn’t any residual current protection to protect anyone unwisely poking about inside the HVAC with the power still on. Of course there may be a grouped circuit RCB.

The installer said any unit at 3.4 Kw or lower they just use a normal 13 amp socket, one unit is above 3.4Kw, so will be hard wired.
Not sure where the 3 pole came from unless the earth is also isolated. All our circuits are in RCBOs. The fused spur allow a non electrician to do the installation even if not ideal. Hence me getting mine to check it over.
