I have recently taken up wood turning and decided that a resin hybrid bowl was the way to go for my second piece
Perhaps learn to walk before running!!

After a week of alternating between doing nothing and a few odd jobs around Wimblowdriver Towers (on account of the slightly inclement wevver ) I as got into second gear today and done a bit of prep for the final push on me patio walls. Should get them finished this week, but I have done a stock take and reckon I will be one trowel of mortar short of the finish line .

Pa T is a master bricky, done it fifty years. I don't think he ever got enough gear first time. You're in good company

Mornin' all ... sun is sneaking it's nose over the rooftops ...

Morning all, hope everyone has a great day!

Mornin' folks …... it wouldn't be right if the raindrops kept away would it? I am hoping they are just a token few as I do not enjoy walking the dogs in the rain, although it doesn't seem to bother them.
Enjoy your Monday - especially 'ippo on 'is first day back at work.

Morning All
Well its day 3 of the "infestation". I have been as grumpy as phuck I think, and I am doing my best to mellow.
I cannot quite imagine what 3 weeks or more of this will be like.
Cats are terrified. At every opportunity the kids scream and chase them. No wonder Scratchie is crapping herself.
Other than these irritants, its a nice day. Official Haircut @ 10:30 at the barbers (at ruddy last!)
You all have really splendid days!

Daddy building consulting and manpower service was pressed into action today. Firstly to give an opinion on a "structural matter" (a removed wall that was in fact holding a staircase up) Oops! Jon. Then round to Richard to help take down the first half of a conservatory roof with "Mr. Angry-Saw" (chainsaw).

It's such a fun life this retired nonsense. My new haircut is now full of "roof debris"

I wholeheartedly support this statement.

Decided to have a go at something a bit simpler

It's a candlestick

Looks like a tall egg cup.
