Got a FANTASTIC story for you guys
My keyboard's playing up a bit though, so I just need to go borrow one off my mate, then you can have it in all its poetic glory. He wont be home for a bit, and I've got to get some petrol first for the long drive, so I'll probably have a little tidy up first.

Should probably drop in on Dave on the way, he's got a new hamster; I said a while ago I'd help him measure up a cage for it, with a nice long run, some fake grass and a little wheel. I did promise, so I shouldn't really turn up without any tools. He's got some old driftwood we can use, so I'd better grab some different kinds of sandpaper on the way, that's if B&Q is still open. Might be early tomorrow morning in that case, no point making a special trip, it's a long way.

Does anyone know if B&Q sell .25mm ball bearings? The wheel I was planning was pretty specialised.

I'll just have a quick look on eBay, I know I saw some with a £2.50 buy-it-now. Damn, looks like they've sold out. There's an auction on some .3mm ones though, finishes on Tuesday, looks like maybe £3 for 20, not bad. Teflon coated, too. Wouldn't be able to get _them_ in the shops.

Luckily, that should give me enough time to alter the design for the new size balls.

And the best bit is it looks like the seller lives only a few miles from Dave, so I can do it all on one trip: pick up the balls, build the cage and amusement park, maybe even a little fence around his lounge, then grab the keyboard on the way back.

So, fingers crossed, you should get my story Wednesday afternoon, Thursday morning - good for you chaps? I know you'll be poised, waiting to click muchly :-)
