    What height were they when planted? I have been waiting for a cherry tree to take off for the past 4 years, time to admit defeat I think. I think my soil is too wet/heavy for a cherry tree.

    Did a similar thing last week, good old B&Q didn’t have what I wanted at my nearest store. Strapped on the Oxford tail bag and headed to the next store that had the item in stock. Got back 2 and a 1/2 hours later, can’t remember what I bought.:D

    Ok so the garage is nice and tidy although not wall to wall carpeting like some but pretty nice for me.
    Gardens are pretty tidy.
    Garage doors are washed
    Cars are washed and waxed
    Bikes are degreased, washed waxed and looking good
    Leathers are de-flied and looking clean
    Helmet is polished and shiney
    Boots have been washed
    Patio been jet washed
    Daughters car has had chips filled and minor paint correction done with a light machine polish
    Blade has had new bobbins fitted plus some clear gel strips to protect tank from knees
    Conservatory roof and guttering all cleaned

    I'm thinking these lockdown can be pretty useful.
    Maybe we will get one every year?
    Come on Boris every spring a 4 week lock down I could live with that

    Take the fairings off.
    I was so obstinate and have had the fairing off so often that I said to myself that they are staying on!!! I did manage but it was bloody fiddly on the knuckles getting the connections on cylinders 1 and 4 but I wasn't going to change my decision. Probably took 30 minutes longer when I could have had the fairings off in under 10 minutes :)
    On the whole its pretty straight forward to do

    I didn’t take the fairing off, just unbolted the left fairing and pulled it out a bit. As Jimmy said, probably make the job easier by removing them. Also be careful of the wires between the quickshifter plugs, they are very short so try not to put too much stress on them.
