I was thinking trials bike but my hands are a bit knackered with dupuytren's contracture at the moment.

Nice one! El Landido Gentryo! Out of interest, why do you have such a high fence on a remote property?

As KFB says, to keep stuff out. There's no shortage of boar wandering around at night, hunters with dogs a few weekends a year, people get lost and turn up, that sort of thing. Also, lots of people keep dogs and fences are the norm to keep them in.

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
I'm more than a little bit envious.
I'd have a shed built in no time for the tools and a concrete block and post for a permanent telescope mount.
I'd miss the sea being so close but hey ho, you can't have everything.

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
'New' bike for baby D. Its really obvious how much she's outgrown her old one when you put them side by side
These Frog bikes are really good I reckon. Proper little bikes rather than superhero/princess branded rubbish. We bought her red one brand new for ~£350 and its still almost like new 3 years later, hence why I went second hand for her next one. Only £150 this time and I reckon I can get that for the red one.

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
Because I'm a 13 year old boy, I bought a Switch OLED.
I've been playing Tears of the Kingdom non-stop since Sunday.
I've just downloaded the MegaDrive version of Sonic.
I might buy Animal Crossing.
I'm off to Corfu on Sunday, I might just sit in my hotel room playing on my Switch.

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
As I seem to have developed hay fever at a rather late stage in life + I like to sleep with windows open I bought a Shark air purifier for the bedroom a couple of weeks ago. A bit spendy but the HEPA filter is supposed to last for up to 5 years, whereas others say replace every 3 months (at £30 a pop). It has a little deodoriser cartridge in but you don't have to use it.
Well pleased. Very quiet and switches off if the air quality reaches 100 and stays there 5 mins. Keeps the air moving too.
Stuck it in the hall one day after cooking a meal that left a whiff of roast chicken around the house, turned the deodoriser dial up (it's quite a neutral, unscented one). Tada! Smell disappeared. Did the same today after a smoked fish meal (kedgeree) yesterday.
Happy bunny I am.

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
Giro Rumble bicycle shoes. I was just looking to replace my casual clipless shoes, thought they looked ok. Better than I thought - the sole's really stiff & they're very well ventilated - summer only! I might get two weeks use a year out of them...

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
Many years ago, I had a MacBook Pro laptop. My then 3 year old (now 18) surfed down the stairs on it and that was that.
Fast forward to yesterday and I've just purchased a MacBook Pro (16" Max3 32gb of ram) and it's bloody lovely. The sound alone is different class, but the screen is just so much easier on the eye. Lovely.

Never mind all that. Does that globe lift up to reveal a selection of drinks and glasses? I bloody hope it does.

Picked up Andy Sparrows "Artobiography" yesterday, from the man himself, along with a T-shirt and a signed bit of original inkwork.
