Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. As we were taught at school. I'm sad that someone said they would measure the hole in the capstone, at some coming weekend, and then didn't. I thought there was going to be a local world record set, and then there wasn't. "A person is as good as their word'.

I've got a valve-powered ultrasonic cleaner going. It works a little bit but makes a fearsome noise. I've also a response letter, from Northumberland west planners, dealing with my decade old complaint of a road built without planning permission, but it has been unopened for three weeks. I guess I know what it is going to say - (something like) blergh blergh blergh, it wasn't us, honest, mister.
