For @Andy in Germany - the tally for the rear wing parts currently stands as follows:

3 lengths of wire @ 110 mm
28 ribs
33 rolled paper spacers - 12 @ 7 mm and 21 @ 8 mm
22 pieces of heavy duty card making up the pair of H-shaped laminated brackets
2 card skins - upper & lower @ 114 mm in length
2 strips of paper 114 mm x 10 mm to seal the joins of upper & lower skins
1 paper skin of 114 mm x 90 mm to finish

So 91 in total, and I've yet to make the end plates...

Plus
10 for each of the endplates

The shipping forecast always seems to be broadcast at a time when I am unable to concentrate on what's being said. There was a lot of the word 'fair' this morning though.

Big red sunrise this morning with a bit of haze to tone it down a little. Tea beckons.

A nice no pushing morning here
Sun's out not a cloud in the sky
Our friendly hedgehog seems to have eaten all the food we left out last night.
First cuppa downed 🍵

My war against insects continues with old opponents. I know its the 3rd week of April because the ants have arrived. I am ready for them and have deployed a chicane of slow death on their route across the kitchen window cill.
I used to use bait stations but feel more involved in their eradication by using a squeezable gel that can be fashioned into a corral that persuades them to try whats on offer and take some home for the family. I liken it to a wall of street food vendors trying to persuade you not to pass them on the way to McDonald's.

I had occasion last week to move a small round paving stone, which had been sitting on top of soil. Underneath was a huge ants' nest. I put a few blobs of that gel down (for the condemned ants last meal) and then for good measure sprinkled Nippon Ant Powder all over the nest.

All gone now.

That's what the interviewee usually says when questioned about the neighbour that was arrested for having too many dead bodies in his shed.
"He was a fairly quiet bloke you know, polite and easy going, always happy to help out, talk to you about anything, even mundane stuff".

I cannot locate their stronghold. It could be anywhere nearby, I suspect they are inside the walls.
