I spent some time over the weekend having a think about the job I went for the interview for last Friday (junior supermarket manager) and I've decided that it would probably be like going from the frying pan in to the fire so I've let them know that the job wouldn't be right for me.

Back to the drawing board. :)
 
The woman that has been holding me hostage for 45 years (you know, the one who's father very cleverly hired a ventriloquist to say "I do" at the registry office) has asked for a "swing" for her 66th birthday.

I thought she said "I want to "swing" " but no, it is actually a garden swing that she wants.

All the ones I showed her "online" she pulled faces at and said no-way! So I have had to undertake the building of a swing.

The main timbers are 4" x 4" 10 foot fenceposts and so it should last for some considerable while. I started it this afternoon and I have built one side of it and the top cross-beam.

Here it is propped up on a spare baulk of timber on the patio. I have to complete the "A" frame with a cross-brace so I can flip it over to do the other side/end.

The "Really difficult bit" will be transporting it down to the bottom of the garden where she wants it to be installed under the big twisted willow tree.
