That steroid injection has made a heck of a difference, even though it's only a temporary 'fix'. Been able to relax more, get some decent sleep, and I was able to do some delicate scratch-building work, which I couldn't have done a week ago.
Also, I've just got the 'Tin Tent' back from having a couple of jobs done on it, and found that the guys had not only done them, but also stripped an cleaned the carb, dizzy and plugs, and done a full service, including the brakes, for a total cost of about a third of what I was expecting !
And on top of that, they're going to take it to a garage I was going to use for the annual MoT test (which they also use a lot, and are friendly with the proprietors), to finish off one job they couldn't access easily at their premises, and get the MoT test done too, next week,
so today, I am a very happy bunny !!!
