What are you doing this evening?

Nice tight complexions but they look a bit anaemic, as if they need some iron tablets

You'd look like this Callistemon! Are you sure this is the look your aiming for?

I need to get it all off so that I can get it "wrapped"

they put a large sheet of what looks like sticky back plastic over the surface and then heat it up so that it shrinks and adheres tightly.

Do you think it would work on my face to get rid of wrinkles phoenix?
A kind of face tightening?

Can I get Lord Lemongrove wrapped? He’s being a bit annoying.?

But the problem still remains as to how to remove the flaky bits in order to get the roof panels wrapped.

What about one of those little green scrubber pads Phoenix? Not too abrasive and when used on a wet surface, they can do a reasonable job. Any slight scratches will be covered anyway once it's wrapped.

phoenix yes and some people can be a bit mean.

We do it most days... we usually just chat about anything and everything, gossip, laugh, occasionally cry, and sometimes we will do projects while on the phone. I meant FaceTime, not normal phone calling. My phone is always charged up and I charge it while on the phone if needed. X

Head....bang......wall

To add again, battery would probably run out, unless it was an old fashioned corded phone?

Just to add, if you actually believe it.

janeainsworth some people have the ability to waffle for yonks about nothing, as has been shown previously.

We have only just finished dinner and I’m savouring the last few drops of Valpolicella Ripasso which we had with pasta with garlic, basil, oregano, pine nuts, spinach, Parmesan and left-over chicken.

I’m trying to decide whether to do some ironing & listen to the wireless or go straight to bed and read my book.

FH how can you spend 5 hours on one phone call?

We’ve been to local, in our pub bubble, had chicken mini roast, mash, broccoli, bath. Going to watch Strike, read all th the books, then bed, read books. Fencing being replaced tomorrow, husband off to work.

Charleygirl I have off road parking (driveway down the side of the house) I suppose while her roof is away, I could put a large golf umbrella over her to (hopefully) keep the interior dry?

Still have the problem of getting the remaining stuff off the roof. Sigh.

I’m doing Sunday evening TV. Watching Antiques RoadShow. At 9.00 I’m going to have a look at Singapore.

Today I restrung my roman blinds and rehung them after washing. I’ve also been gold painting an mdf box to decoupage as a present for 10 year old grandson for Christmas. He collects crystals so I’ll be lining it with satin and green velvet to keep them safe. Fringe cutting is on the agenda for tomorrow plus shopping and coffee with a friend.

It's fascinating to watch being done Maw; they put a large sheet of what looks like sticky back plastic over the surface and then heat it up so that it shrinks and adheres tightly. When you get fed up of it, just heat it again, peel it off and start all over again. Magic!

I do not have a garage but it would have its own parking space with me keeping a beady eye on it. Would that help?

We are expecting lovely weather for at least a couple of days in NW London- would that help? Maybe you live too far away for that to do the trick.

Charleygirl

Exactly, Chewbacca, but needs to be black, as Mavis is black.

As her roof parts come off, providing there was going to be good weather, I could leave the roof panels to be done without leaving myself carless, but as we don't have a garage, might have to put a tarpaulin over her.

But the problem still remains as to how to remove the flaky bits in order to get the roof panels wrapped.

OMG I would never get in your car and if in the millionth I managed I would never ever get out. I know you make sure I was fed and watered but my bodily functions would be a problem.

Oh that’s interesting! I’d never heard of that.

Or do you mean vinyl wrapped Phoenix? As in, like a respray but not actually? My friend had her kitchen cupboard doors and drawers vinyl wrapped and they looked very good. British Racing Green. Very stylish.

When you say “wrapped” do you mean like Christo and Jeanne-Claude?
Or pretty paper with a bow on the top?

Anyone have any hints on how to remove peeling covering from the roof on Mavis, my Smart Roadster?

I need to get it all off so that I can get it "wrapped"

Marcus will have to go soon, she's great fun, but getting in and out is becoming more of a problem

However, in the odd occasion that Mr P has to get in her, the amusement value is huge! He's 6'2" , and quite a bit chap!

Mavis is about as low to the ground as a skateboard
