Morning All
ANOTHER lovely Sunny Day here.
I am working on my place today (for a change). I shall see how best to fit the new window-cills and have at it.
Tom will go to my son's and run a whacker-plate around the patio area, peg it out for size & gradient etc.
I am looking forward to my "day off"
My son has already started on the "my bonus wasn't as big as I expected" spiel (aka the start of yet another approach for money from me to finance his hopes & dreams).
Have a lovely day.

Play him the Eagles "Get over it" ion a non-stop tape loop.

and if anyone has never heard it, it is the most brilliant antidote to snowflakes ever.
(a student of mine gave me a copy of the disc! He really "got" me!!)

.... I have cut all my window-cills/sills to size and to fit in the mini-barn.
I will take them off one by one and fit them on top of battens to the underlying brickwork over the weekend.
The underlying building is not square to the rear of the house(!) so I have adopted a "Do your best and caulk/gapfill the rest" approach.
At the end of the day the mini-Barn is a glorified "Shed" on the back of the house not the Sistine chapel.

Looking really nice!

Personally, I would stroll there and meander / dawdle back
Course, a brisk walk will give you a thirst..

Absolutely nothing like having a decent pub within staggering distance.
Only lived in a place like that twice and one was in Lunnen.
Well no, acksherlly, when I lved in Bath, all the town centre pubs were in staggering distance as long as we didn't mind staggering back a long way up Landsdowne hill, and then a bit further.
Was a lot fitter then!

Stanleysteamer · Apr 30, 2021

Well, the Grockle spray didn't work!
We went to Ringwood this affo and set off back at about 4:50. The traffic to the A31 was backed up to where we turned out of a car park in the centre of toon, so we turned the other way and headed straight in towards Bournemuff. The oncoming traffic was at a standstill all the way through the town, we got home via Hurn airport etc. No delays at all! Hee Hee!

Local knowledge, nothin like it.

The A31 usually gets like this on a normal Friday but this was about the worse we have ever seen it.
Stoopid bugres!

Afternoon folks

Well had a good day and finished off the little bits on the roof to the summer kitchen, still need a few more screws for the ridge caps but its secure and watertight so good enough for now.
So we have been evaluating lots of little jobs over the last few weeks and it seems a mini digger is on the cards. fing is they don't like hiring just the diggers here, and with the nature of the jobs a couple of hrs each but not all in 1 go, so is not cheap. SOooooo we are looking to buy a new toy going to look at 1 tomorrow plan is then we can use at our leisure for a couple of years, then resell we the guy that is helpiing has said he will buy it in a couple of years as he does groundwork so we may even get some rental from him during that time.

So excited new toy.

Yer can dig the ole for me new garage foundation.

Stuff I planned to do this weekend has changed.
Why do others make arrangements for me to travel to them when they know my free time is limited.

They don’t speak/text for months and expect me to be nice....
