Can some kind person do sums/conversion for me please?

I need to put a 2 inches deep layer on sand on an area one yard wide by two yards across. Doing a sum in my head (in feet) that is 3 times 6 times one sixth, giving three cubic feet of sand. However sand is ordered by weight. How many kilos of sand do I need. It does not matter if there is slightly too much,

I am guessing that bag of sand would be about a cubic foot, and so would need possibly four bags. I think the Builder's merchants not far from here might want a more accurate figure. It is to make stable (and level) a base for a garden cupboard. The sand would be underneath paving slabs.

The garden slopes at an angle of the depth of brick over the two yards. I have a small quantity of "hard core" to fill in the lower part.

I got this

Molly says she’s glad she lives with me as she likes her tea at 4!

It's easier to give in than live with the Siamese version of "why am I waiting, I haven't been fed this month!"

The tortie Siamese version comes with added volume and vim.

Given I had to make dinner and then attempt - and fail - to fit the crankset to the new NeilPryde I need a break. And a bath.

Nice thought about the chicken soup though. Much appreciated. Jewish Penicillin ... I've learnt something today

Take it easy xxx

Radio 4's News Quiz announced that Boris Johnson is going to turn the UK off and on again at midnight tonight. I thought I'd better warn you in case you had something planned.

You mean something like attempting a reset/restart with a computer?

Wouldn't trust him with either but I can't say anything about a F1 car because I've never tried rebooting one.

I do shopping for my parents at the moment and my mother writes the shopping list on a scrap of paper and takes a photograph of the list and then sends me the photo in Whatsapp

Right, going to make myself a and do a bit of online cat show judging.

Anyone else fancy a brew?

Wouldn't that depend on the cup being used. Small(pint), medium(2 pints) or large(8 pints).

I've used it a few times now. Saves refilling the two pint pot more than once.
