I've been wondering why Pete Hegsmith always stands as though he's poised to whip a Colt 45 from each trouser pocket at a split second's notice. Does he practice in the mirror?
It's rather odd.

An interactive mirror would be good. One which fires back!

what are you writing about? I can barely follow any of that. I know there's a language barrier, but a hint, please?

Sorry, a typo doesn't help.

The deck, patio, verandah at our house expired, died, became dangerous, was rotten beyond safe use.
I'm too mean to pay someone to install a new one.
Foolishly, I decided to do it myself. I set aside a week for the oroject.
I've realised I have met my match. I'm at the outer limits of my skill set.

But like cycling when you realise that there's maybe a hill too many and possibly a few more clicks to home than you'd like; you just suck it up and get on with it.

My little ravings here are part of my therapy as I realise I have committed to a bigger project than I can comfortably complete.

Hard frost on the river today. The pontoon is interesting getting up the slope.

First cuppa went down well

Good morning from Suffolk where it's been a bright, sunny and very frosty start to the day. Coffee has been had and the last custard cream biscuit from the pack eaten.

All is ready for today's away day to Leeds to see Porridge Radio at The Brudenell. This is the penultimate date of their farewell tour before going their separate ways after 10 years, during which I've seen them half a dozen times so I wasn't going to miss this one.

Having just had a look at the weather forecast for this evening, I think I'll stop off at Decathlon when I get to Leeds and pick up a pair of cheap walking trousers. It's looking wet for the walk to & from The Brudenell and I may need some dry legwear for Saturday.

Just couldn't resist taking this photo at roughly mid day today. The sun is low on the horizon and so powerful that it has cast the courtyard into shadow. l still haven't figured out how to post images the right way up but you get the picture l guess!
