Been looking for a way to attach my phone to my rig ( NLR GT Lite ) to use with EzioDash and decided to get this at £6:99 i thought it would do ok. For what i want it for i think it’s great , but i would not recommend it for use on a bike as advertised

Delaminated headlight lenses looked awful, so a bought a new set of lamp units, these have some nice metallic amber accents. 4 10mm bolts and the job’s a good’un.

Now my car doesn’t have a glazed eye stoner look.
Must get round to painting that front bumper. As much everyone likes Initial D, that isn’t the look I’m going for.

Also picked up 10 Mickey Mouse platies to go around my various ponds and aquariums.

3 escaped immediately, 2 of those were rescued but one flopped off of the terrace 5m up. He went splat. Food for the birds now.

At the same fish shop I picked up a bucket of red root floaters and a bucket of salvinia.

Edit: totally forgot the hamster environment I constructed last weekend for my daughter’s 7th birthday.

Initially the plan was a bearded dragon, but it’s too high maintenance for a kid. Then we looked at Guinea pigs but they don’t like this tropical climate. Eventually we settled on a group of 5 female hamster siblings. There’s not a evening that my daughter isn’t trying to put them on her face or make them eat seeds. I’ve cautioned her to be gentle or we’ll end up with extra cat food. They are super cute though.

All 5 are currently sleeping in 1 terracotta house.
We bought an extra exercise wheel today because 5 hamsters on 1 wheel is hilarious, but probably not good for them.

Finally ordered the Super Deluxe edition of Yes - Close To The Edge

-

I bought this album in 1989 when I was 14, and it is arguably my favourite album of all time.

Yes released another SD edition album this week (Tales From Topographic Oceans) and it is amazing, but CTTE has long been a favourite, and I don't have it on vinyl - so this will make a very welcome addition to my vinyl collection.
 
Okay, I got paid last week and decided to buy a couple more Ebbro 1/43 scale models. This is the first one I got and the other hasn't been mailed yet. It's my 4th 2000 JGTC Supra and I think I just need one more before I have all of them.

Here's a picture of it with my other 2000 JGTC Supras.

Cool models mate😀
I have the Castrol Supra in 1/18
 
Using a bit of my holiday money, I picked up a new pen, which was at an absolute bargain price! Half-off is no joke!

This is the Stipula Novecento with a medium steel nib. It's quite an interesting pen given some design elements, and I'm enjoying using it, though it's a royal pain to clean, and also not perfectly built lol. Very much an Italian pen!

Picture quality for HD is very good upscaled on my 83" OLED. The 5.1 soundtrack, at least on the first episode, doesn't fill the room but the LFEs gave my sub something to do. There's a nice little booklet/episode guide and some posters included.

Scott Tracy: [on radio.] "Confirm estimated time of arrival London Airport."

Virgil Tracy: "OK, Scott. Arriving in nineteen and one half minutes from now."

Scott Tracy: [on radio] "Now, as soon as you arrive, unload high-speed Elevator Car with two radio-controlled subsidiaries."

Scott Tracy: "Then, proceed to end of runway Two-Nine and report."

Virgil Tracy: [on radio] "Thunderbird 1, F.A.B."
