Neighbour’s car scratches but nothing that I cannot polish out. Miraculous.

Xantia took a minor beating.

Garden waste bin took the brunt.

Saves two birds. Possibly pigeons but quite strange beaks.

Put a nest into the holly tree with them in it.

Tiny little chaffinch was sitting on radiator in the lounge. Couldn’t find its home but it was able to fly. Hopefully Mum finds it.

I might still have a spare silver wing hiding in the dark depths of my garden Roger...

Could have been a lot worse... Here's hoping the chaffinch family are OK...

That would be amazing. I think I also have one behind the garage at my Mum's but that is in the hands of solicitors for the will challenge and they want receipts for my property that is down there. Good job I recovered the Harley!!!

That dent on the wing looks like an easy fix for a paintless dent remover. You could call it polishing on steroids.
As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

Inside every old person is a young person wondering what the hell happened.

I’d bet but they could Mr. B-R but it’s not really financially viable. IIRC from the other week’s clean up and detailing, the tiny holes in the paintwork on the bonnet extend onto the top of the wing.

Jay-Bruce quite rightly identified that they were likely caused by angle grinder sparks.

Plus I finally have a second response from Tecnosir so hopefully within the next few weeks I will have the ability to be able to re-gas my own spheres.
