Well you can't get much more 'O' than this - some 'O' Rings at rest in their natural environment of my shed today.

I know the issue, mine are nesting!!

At lot of stuff in my shed has migratory tendancies - it can disappear for years before coming back to be rediscovered only a few feet from where it was last seen

P is for Paint which I've been using today.

Rather than taking up space here I have posted the details here!
