He's talking utter spheroids, no 'Hardwood' reacts well to Iron (SteelWool) if you want a 'Matt',ish finish then apply the Wax using a "Scothbrite" pad (or a kitchen scourer)

Be aware that most varnishes are far too thick and as for water based 'varnish' avoid it like the plague, my own preference is for organic sealers like Linseed Oil or Shellac (Crushed Beetles in Booze).

Worked for me and I eventually sold the table I used it on for a nice profit.

I had piperade & eggs on toast for supper. The girls had Felix AGAIL with trout & mackerel.

Now watching Sweden v Belgium. Wouldn't want to be at the match - it's belting it down over there.

Hell, Hull and Halifax await...

Is Hell the local spelling for Huddersfield?

Just caught a whopping beetle that was whizzing around my sitting room and put it outside. Nearly an inch long, black, with ribbed wing cases, and blue iridescence on the legs and the edges of the carapace.

It's entry is in North Yorkshire!

Don't think they expect you to return from there.

I reckon Sweden need to draw Belgium out and attack from outfield. I keep seeing them attacking from virtually immobile positions.

I think I've got a middle age crisis.
Or midlife crisis. Whatever the name.

18th anniversary today for me and my partner

A belated happy 18th anniversary to you and your other half.

What few plans I had for the day were scuppered by being woken up at around 5am with a really bad cramp attack in my right calf. At that time of the morning my normal method of pain relief by swearing very loudly was not an option, so it was a case of try to last it out and hobble around until the calf eased.

The day was eventually spent (very slowly) on domestics - changing the bedding then washing it & putting it on the line to dry, vacuuming the house and mopping the kitchen floor and sorting out the first of the rail tickets for October. I think more time was spent working out the various options for the train trip just to save £4 than on anything else!

It's OK now - the movement while vacuuming eased off the stiffness there was when I woke up. It's the second time in a week that this calf has cramped having not done it for a long time - the same thing happened to a lesser extent while on a short hill on the ride up to Beccles.
