Todays excessive attention to detail.
Today, I 'ave mostly been.....
Adjusting my fuel flap. 
Not entirely to my satisfaction, but it's as far as it can go without removing it entirely and trimming the plastic moulding a mm or two.
It's been mildly annoying for ages; the front edge just catches lightly as it opens/closes and looking at it it's not only clearly offset forward (causing it to catch) but also not square.
No doubt someone will bring a micrometer to the June meet and give me a ticking off for inaccuracy, but it's looking a lot better now. 
It was a "while I'm in the area" type of job, waiting for mastic to partly cure on my boot lid grommet!
