Tackled replacing the brakes on the Disco today. Removed a front wheel and discovered that there were bolts to be removed that were bigger than my ⅜ drive set included. Found this bible online that informed me that I needed a 21mm socket (bi-hex) which I do not have. While replacing the rear pads a chappie (Jeff) walking past took an interest and offered his tool set, gratefully received. Rear pads replacement went relatively well, tools left in the sun too hot to touch and Disco wheels are really difficult to fir as they are heavy and centre on the nuts, not the threads like most cars making it quite a struggle. Managed to reassemble then remember that I had not fitted the brake pad wear sensor which was tedious.

Louis cancelled the four pm sail in his trailer sailer as there was more breeze than he was comfortable with and rescheduled for tomorrow at ten which is generous of him.
Decided not to tackle the front as we needed to get to Genevia airport to meet Jacqueline and Audrey returning from the UK.
Lovely when getting too hot to wander down to the wharf and go for a dip.
Fyfe and Iris ate their dinner watching England loose to Belgium in the Russian world cup while I strove to make the Giantavan semi presentable for Audrey and Jacqueline's return.
