Chilly out again today, so, apart from the bike ride, it's just been little jobs in the Shed.
I broke the spring on one of these secateurs ages ago and just spotted what looked like a very similar one in a pump bottle that was going into the recycling.
Almost a perfect replacement.
Also, the metal shears in the background above also had a broken spring, a leaf spring this time - you can see the remains on the handle. This was replaced with a piece from the end of a broken hacksaw blade - it even had a suitable hole in it.
It's very awkward to use without the spring, so my trusty Mole Supercut is back in action again - we'll see how long the 'new spring' lasts...
