So, who wants to help ... to rattle on in the cellar?

Sympathies wee bee :honeybee:

Ashes are buggas to control

I recommend napalm before they get ideas

I am at a rally

En route to the rally we called at an electrical superstore to purchase a DVD player of a new standard

We came out with a posh air fryer

Well it was in the sale at a price too good to leave

Then I was allowed to look :eyes: at a crafty supply shop

Haberdashery baking sugar crafts yarns sewing machines knitting aids and and and…

I was good

Ish

I got 900grammes of a hand spun locally dyed with natural dye wool in a magenta/purple colour

I am chuffed about this

Our bank balance is reeling from the numbers on the receipt

I only wanted to buy a good bodkin

Do other folks find such shops irresistible?

Depends. I’m a sucker for interesting tools, but too many crafty shops are full of kits for things that they sell you half-done before you lay claw to 'em.

Wanna Lathe.

Well, I ignored a nash sappling 25 years ago. It’s now about 40 feet & was responsible for yesterday’s wood on the lawn.

Our garden is good for trees from seed. I have, in pots, 2 horse chestnuts, 3 rowans, numverous laburnum, 2 oaks & a nacer.

We have a copse area we’ve allowed willow, wild cherry (60’ & counting), oak, hornbean & beech to grown in. It’s rampant with wildlife.

There’s a London Plane & quite close to the house, but that’s proving troublesome, which is worrying as they apparently grow to 160’. Hopefully SEP though (somebody else’s problem).

Forecast for tomorrow’s barbecue has been anything between nice-and-cool and torrential rain. Currently mostly the former.

Today: :goat::hamburger:

The crafty shop I was in yesterday is full of raw ingredients for all sorts of crafty projects

Very few kits

My father used to have a lathe big enough to make parts for sundry vintage cars he was asked to help restore

Also to help make bits for his series one Landrover which he was soo proud of

Really a laser cutting table would make more sense than a lathe. You can get some very nice 40W tubes these days.

Errrr my father probably would have wanted such a tool

But he died before such were available

He was never happy unless he had something to mend or make

Cat died this morning. Trying to get rid of Cat Things from round the house but too pissed and useless to do much.
