I love a good balance. We
I love a good balance. We have a couple of little battery ones in my lab, 2.2kg to 1g, and a 220g to 0.1g. there’s a 3 decimal place pan in the lab opposite, old, but good. A 4 figure down the corridor, with a sliding door, but placed on a solvent cabinet, so any movement near causes drift. When I was at Reading , the labs in the tower had weighing rooms between pairs of labs, with big granite blocks built on brick pillars to have incredible stability. Old school but they knew what they were doing back then.
I balance my ultra buckets on a 2 figure. And then check the zero, if I manage to kill an ultra it’s not going to be from bad balancing.
“Salvaged” a wonderful 4 figure from an old storeroom in Reading, motorised rotating door. Utterly lovely, but as with all nice things the mucky pups destroyed it, weighing sticky billowing media on a 4 figure, and with poor technique…
Had many digital scales for baking, currently a Heston salter set, that does 2kg to 1g and 200g to 0.1g, I have not treated them well but they keep going. Big one does drift. Problem with the little one is finding something light enough in the kitchen to place the small amount of stuff in. Won’t tare high. No weigh boats in my kitchen…

I’m happy for it.

Hemdean rd is my very local route to the Chilterns, would be nice to 20 the whole thing.
Ingenious from the miscreant. But pricey mind.
Looks like a glorious bit of tarmac and well painted, I noticed it when popping into warings bakery, their excellent bread only, but their double knot ring doughnuts are incredible. Caversham is doing very well for fine baked goods, the Portuguese custard tarts at the little café up the hill, the next door Spanish delicatessen basque cheesecakes and bkrys cookie dough croissant are all highly recommended.
Could be the same contractors, but the taxi bay very close to Reading station was done in an evening, lovely tarmac and well painted. Keep clear had been scrawled on the pavement and painted on the fresh black stuff.
You’d think that if
You’d think that if transporting large amounts of illegal goods in an uninsured motor with no license that you might leave the phone alone. We seem to be lucky that many criminals ain’t that bright. We should truly fear the intelligent ones, but most will eventually make mistakes.

But even I’m slightly concerned when thinking about what “steep hill” means in Truro traffic.
