BTW, I think that's just the beach house you see there, although the main house isn't all that huge by American Rich Criminal standards.

It'd be big enough for me,my mutt and my palm tree, which would have all those new friends.

Whilst this is pretty much the case, everything to the right of the red line in the following image is extension. The original 300 year old house (with a new roof) is to the left of the line, and I built everything to the right. This parallel-roof arrangement is known as "double pile", so in jargon, the front pile is original, and the rear pile I built, including the mono-pitch outshot which I've just slated.

If I don't post anywhere on CC tomorrow, it'll be because Mrs P has found out that I've just sharpened my axes on the kitchen knife sharpener.

My slippers are too big.

To countebalance my manly axe-sharpening activity, I am now in the process of rectifying my poor-slipper fit by stitching in some foam/sponge into the back of them.

Throwing or felling?

Just back from a two day visit to Mrs Postman's aged parents.Did some winter gardening tidying up and housework bedding changed ,washed and ironed.We also went out for fish and chips,then over to Blackpool for a bit of a shop.Cor what a dump Blackpool is now,anyway what Mrs Postman's mum said when we got home was the quote of the year.They were both counting up what they had spent see old dad had bought some shoes.The mother in law said well i only spent £30 on chocolates,which she did in Thorntons.Priceless.

Felling...

I think I've got away with it. She has actually twigged, but I've offset the offence by re-potting the Dragon tree, fixing the living room door and repairing the handle, doing the ironing and actually using the axe earlier during the process of cutting down a dead plum tree...

Second attempt at Apple and cinnamon scones.
Very nice again.
Sadly it wasn't apples from the garden this time. They're done for the year.

I passed a couple of houses with bags of apples outside with a sign asking people to take some.

Indeed - I've made crumbles (naughty but very nice if I do say so myself), eaten loads in the raw, and we've stewed no end (nice with a bit of ground cinnamon and Greek style natural yoghurt).

I'm going to have a crack at a carrot, apple and parsley soup I've seen in a low fat cookbook. Might do it Thursday.

I had a neighbor ask me if I wanted a five gallon bucket of tomatoes. I have too many already.
