yeah, its not hard to do - I was using slightly coarser paper (I already had some) but it took quite a while longer as my wheels have lots of fiddly bits.

Sure does Chris, don't ya hate that? :lol: We've had bit of drizzle, mixed with pelting-down for the last few days, not much in the guage this time though, only around 5 inches. Today the "*lazy breeze" has started up in earnest...joy of joys! lmao

* Lazy breeze, blows straight through ya, 'cos it's too lazy to go 'round ya. I'm sure this breeze exsists on all parts of the globe, but might be called different names?

Sorry for the hijack. :oops:
