It begins.

Gusting up to, and over, 90mph it’s a good job I’d anchored the trampoline. I’d sunk it into the ground to level it up and the grass had grown back over the backfill. We’ve had storms since but this one ripped it clean out. It’s pointless trying to fix it now until storm Eunice has passed. Storm Dudley has wreaked havoc here in the UK and Eunice could be set to be more devastating. We were lucky to only have minor damage, others haven’t been so lucky. Please stay safe folks.

“Who are you calling an old bag”…. We’ve always washed and reused zip lock food bags, unless they’ve had meat in them; you can never be too careful. Have a great Wednesday.

No emoji for plastic food bags 🤷‍♂️

Marshall MG series - 10CD. Took the board out to clean the scratchy Potentiometers (x4), OD switch, Input Jack socket, and Emulated line out sockets using WD40 Specialist Contact Cleaner.

👍🏻 Did a thorough sound check afterwards and all the scratchiness has gone.

Please stay safe fellow tumblr’s wherever you are.
