Some of you may know that I've started learning a new skill - lock picking.
I've been practicing several times a day for weeks with some "learning locks" (perspex bodies, so you can see what is going on) and I've got to the point where I can can feel what is happening - not well, but all skills take time to build up.

Anyhoo ... I just picked my first "real" lock*! Took about 90 seconds or so, and really wasn't that hard. I've tried maybe a dozen times before and got nowhere so it's a big "YES!" moment for me. Big Grin | :-D

* the 5 pin Euro cylinder I took out of the back door last week and replaced with a "thumb internal" one so Herself could use it without hunting for a key in an emergency.
