Tapping/Knocking Noise

I think I may have cracked it.

There is/was an angry elf trapped inside the bell housing (where he had been looking for bells,obviously) and you need the colourful costume to lure him out.

Thank you for your suggestion Ben. That may be A problem ....... but will it prove to be THE problem???

I will d'elve' into it and let you know!!!!

My curiosity is getting completely out of proportion!!!

This is not being ignored, I am working on it!!! You know the old expression "two steps forward, one back"!!!! Well, I am at the two steps forward, seven steps back!!!!

I will let you know when I have achieved some semblance of success ..... and indeed am in a more reasonable state of mind!!!

I have not been spending that much time in the workshop of late .... the clue is in the photograph!!  It is supposed to warm up slowly through the week, I am hoping that I will notice the difference!!

Its amazing how much a little fan heater can provide local comfort.....but you have to build in the energy costs to the restoration budget!!

Andy, hasn't the concept of thermal underwear reached the Essex coast yet?! 

If it said -13 fair enough.....but.........

The problem comes with my feet, after a while the cold gets in and my feet and legs up to the knees are so cold they hurt! I am going to Barts with Lynn in 9 days time and will take the opportunity to visit one of the numerous 'outdoor shops' in the City to buy a pair of boots. Sorel seem to do a good range with suitability down to -40 being fairly standard. I am hoping that will be adequate!!!

I should add that I already wear stout boots with three pairs of socks and use old carpet offcuts to stand on in the areas where I am working.

Anyway, spring will soon be with us and then hopefully I really crack on on all fronts.

Please don't crack on all fronts!!!
