Mods please feel free to stick them together if you can (or delete them if there's a reason why I'm not allowed to post this many

In the 1st pic I was actually just looking across at the shop wondering about going back to buy some more cake!

In the 2nd I was dupped by ChrisG & Tony into checking the alignment of my cans (in fairness they'd actually spotted that my r.h. can had a bent bracket) but I feel sure now that this was all just a ruse to create this photo opportunity!
