Fantastic Bluetooth head phones. My last headphones have lasted a long time but now the leather ear piece are deteriorating so I needed an upgrade. Had a choice between the Bose or the sony. Sony were slightly more but reviews suggest these are slightly better, they are excellent Image

If it's been ceramic coated doesn't it just need hosing down for the foreseeable future?

I’m planning ahead, the winter is a killer with dirt, our unit is on a farm, the lanes to get there and back in the winter will need more than a jet wash unfortunately. I also have the XC60 and I use er indoors drive to do the cleaning which means I have to wash hers as well as part of the deal :D

The new van wheels turned up today, so I ceramic coated them inside and out. Handy as they’re not going on till next week.

It's been a busy week for my Postie, so far I have received a Lextek exhaust can, a pair of tiny Rizoma indicators which I tested on the car battery last night... I think I can still see spots, they're really bright. and I am now waiting for a pack of wiring connectors and some multi coloured wire, they are stop/tail lights too so 4 wires each and need tapping into the tail light. They were cheap because they have been removed by an ape with wire cutters so the wiring needs extending.

And the usual bills, bank letters and BS.

I use them. Never regretted it.

I bought a pack of different razor blades to try as they do all shave slightly differently. Some are almost too sharp.

I like Shark razor blades. Made in Egypt.

Some RST Trachtech Evo gloves. Not from the postman, I went old fashioned and visited a shop. Cost me a couple of pounds more than online but I needed to try a few pairs on first before I found some I liked.

A pushbike helmet. Got pissed off with my commuting one as it's bloody heavy, as you would expect being filled with LED's and a battery.

Went for something nice and bright, no excuse for not seeing me!Image

Nice! Not that I've gotten to use mine yet but my Cannondale Synapse is feather weight to me.
