Event Field of Dreams - Camping weekend 8/9/10 September - Mrs 6C has been preparing home made cider @ 7.3% for the campers/non drivers!

Blast and botheration. My chances of making this have just dropped massively: It's one of the Mini-Talbots' birthday on Friday. Typical that I forgot and thought it was the week after! I did think about bringing him with me, but I suspect a 5-year-old is a bit young to have running about the field of dreams.

 

He'd love the JCB though. Maybe in a few years time.

I have no problem with a 5 year old on site. Just the usual stuff about him being supervised near vehicles. I don't think there are going to be hundreds of us so up to you.

 

Our snake does not eat children, it is a very timid grass snake that has been spotted a couple of times, but even we have not managed to photograph it.

Project Turdbox is getting there. It would be easier if I could see what I was doing though.

 

[hairnet]

i can hear banjos

[Talbot]

Well, if I wasn't sure before, I am now. Mrs. Talbot has just been whisked into hospital and is likely to be there for a couple of days. Nothing drastically serious, but the field of custard creams will have to wait until the next get-together.

By the looks of it we can all see what everyone's doing! Want me to grab some bog roll en route?

How about a shower curtain;-)

[richardmorris]

I've grabbed a cardboard box from work and have some small Tupperware type boxes that could be useful for engine parts ( have marker pen too).

I'm looking forward to a day away from work, but be under no allusions. I have no idea about mechanicals without orders.

 

Will bring cookies etc again.

Easily hosed down, I like your style!

[richardmorris]

Made me laugh!

 

I don't intend to be staying long enough to need a modesty screen ( tom dumoulim style in the giro).

Im close enough to home to pop back should the need arise, or pop to wherever for a mcdonalds/mcpoo

 

Amy wanted Chinese tonight and asked if I wanted king prawn something... I nearly said yes before remembering about this weekend and realised that possibly wasn't a good idea...

I will be around on the Saturday. I have some Dyson tools to give Beko and some carpet offcuts I saved from a parental tip run that can be used to lie on whilst working on shite, the gravel floor at the FoD is not too comfortable.

[Stanky]

I've been to the FoD before but don't recall - is there running water?

Oooh thank you! What a lovely birthday present!

[ruffgeezer]

I have a tool chest and a tool trolley to sell as I'm skint atm, anyone fancy either?

[Heidel_Kakao]

Yeah there is a tap where drinking water can be obtained.

[Stanky]

Ruffgeezer, how much for each/both please? Feel free to PM.

[beko1987]

Would me bringing my hose help?

[Stanky]

I would like to do a coolant change on the Toyota if possible, historically i have always drained, filled with tap water, run for a bit, drained then filled with coolant and de-ionised water. A tap would greatly aid this, but is not critical.

[Six-cylinder]

Would me bringing my hose help?

 

The tap is too far from the yard for a normal hose, but there is a hose to fill containers.

[Stanky]

If I bring some 5l plastic containers may I use some water? Do you have somewhere to dispose of old fluids (fnarr etc) or would you prefer they be taken away with me when I leave?

Oil needs to be taken away, a small quantity of rusty water won't do any harm.

I'm very excited! I presume it's just myself and Bucketeer camping tomorrow night? I'll get some breakfast stuff in Alex!

And you have some apple juice so go with the sausages and bacon 

[beko1987]

I'm very much not a cider man, but will be sure to try some out! Plenty of out of the way corners to be sick in should the worse happen!

[Bucketeer]

I think Mat_the_cat is coming tomorrow too.

Better make sure we hide the booze.

[mat_the_cat]

I am, but I will be well behaved with wife in tow...

So maybe best if tales of copious consumption are temporarily forgotten

That's enough for Bucketeer, what's everyone else drinking?

[beko1987]

Anyone going to be coming who has a nut allergy? Mums given me a massive bag of cob nuts to bring, she's being over run with them, their growing faster than she can pick them!

 

Will try to remember either nut crackers or a hammer
