A bit of a special milestone achieved this morning

I logged my 6,000 all-time activity into Strava...

And celebrated it with a lovely little run

Well done Jim, I think you should treat yourself: viewtopic.php?p=801222#p801222

I'd love to Mick but I fear Bluebell would never forgive me if I did...

I was in the Lakes again today ... got chatting to a bloke who was marking out the route with flags for tomorrows Scafell Sky Race if you are mad enough to take part in these events ... that bloke was walking 20 miles today with all the marker flags and then he's running 40km tomorrow over some serious elevation.

Luckily for me entries are closed

Wow! That looks like fun I've done the course marking job a few times now and done the reverse of de-marking. It's amazing how long it takes and how heavy a full stock of signs are... Against that, as you put them out your load lightens...

A bit late to the party on this but I thought it worth linking here in case the interested parties don't look at the thread it's on Going back to the discussion a couple of weeks ago about oil remaining in the sump when the plug is inset into the case I bought this to alleviate that problem if it comes up in the future!! Only saying!

Meanwhile, having seen Alasdair's account of devastating rust under the rear window rubbers on his AX, I had a look under Bluebell's rear window seals today..

Nearside is perfect

Offside, I've caught just in time...

A bit of surface rust but nothing serious and easily treatable...

I'll be following Alasdair's advice to do the job so that there will be no further trouble with this...

I took Bluebell out and filled her up with petrol. First time in six months!

[MattBLancs]

That does look a "caught in the nick of time" condition there Jim

[Stickyfinger]

"they all do that Sir".....

[Rp0thejester]

How's the repair going? Any tips!?

You can read all about it in the July issue of the Citroenian

[Rp0thejester]

Oh now that's just bliming cheeky!! It costs me £10 for 2 years access to all the information I need for my car with full original numbers based on my VIN and have banter. Now I need to get the Citroeonian to see how you dealt with the rust..... Hmmmmm

[CitroJim]

Alasdair's (Stickyfinger) blog covers it very well Ryan

Having said that, the Citroenian is a very good monthly read and well worth the cost of joining the Citroen Car Club.

I've not done mine yet and it's be a few weeks now before I do - very poorly currently

[Armidillo]

Sorry to hear you are poorly (is that the right term again Jim - look after yourself.

Australia celebrated the King's Birthday with a holiday Monday (yesterday) - my family did our part with a bonfire and glow sticks. To cheer you up, here is my grand-daughter, adorned with glow sticks.

Get well soon Jim!



Hang on, where's our flipping bank holiday!?
Come on Charlie, sort it out please!
