Finished for today!
Started by putting together the first of the cabinets for the utility room reinstall, then measured up for the tiling and got fed up as am going to have to box clever to not need to buy any more. They is expensive!
So ripped the old'uns off this affo which was very satisfying! I love a bit of destruction! Even got 12 off whole, but no use for them!
Wifey's special pasta dish for dins tonight! Yum Yum!
Enjoy your evening folks!

Come to Wales! Not the fastest road network

but at least it's picturesque. Just realised it might not be where you need to deliver your goodies.

More likely to be that 'you would never want to leave'.

You can buy those too. But you have to hang around waiting. The trap does the waiting for you.

Holiday

What’s one of them

. Although if we actually want time away (anytime) we can, but we don’t need too often.
To be honest, if I want to spend time doing what I want I can anytime

. I got a great woman this time

Oh and she’s got a great man too

I love wildlife but there are limits which, sadly, they are getting very close to overstep.

Airsoft. 6mm plastic pellet, non fatal, though I aim for a near miss, frightens em well enough.
Magpies **** off out me garden if I only appear at the window now.
Plus, is 'personal', bastids.

@Turboman
Trappings nice, but what do you do with a live mardy bastid? Or is that the reason for the PM?

Sounds like the flippin Waltons!
If I go too slowly on a project, I get earache, but then I have taken 3 years to NOT finish a shower in France. But I can defend myself cos she always finds another project that needs to be done! I haven't finished the kitchen yet, but the last thing is a new radiator, but that ain't going to happen in the winter!

My first wife had no chance to get awkward about DIY, as we always bought houses that needed very little doing to them. I actually did nothing at all to the second, which is pretty amazing! TBH the second is pretty patient!
But my own personal projects are so far on the back burner they are in another room!
