Some anally retentive types think that my room is untidy. I think that they should seek help. View attachment 402791

That is not untidy, it is organised.

Me and shoppers of Sainsbugs.It's a good job i don't work there.Just been out for a little shopping trip.I like Sainsbugs own yoghurts.Well today laid across the yoghurts,was a brown paper bag,from the fish dept ,which is at the far end of the store.the price sticker on it was £6-40p.I brought it to the attention of a member of staff.He was disgusted,it will have to be thrown away.
If i worked there,i would have checked the price sticker for time bought,gone over the cctv and found the shopper,then i would have kicked their arse out of the store and told then to shop elsewhere.

Moan over.

We had a bit of sunshine this afternoon and it has made some of the buds on our madnolia tree to burst open .

Had 4 lovely days off, first day back and nothing has changed, usual complaining, whinging etc..

Poppy & Lexi have a new play tunnel.

I have a new cycling jacket.

Hoped to have a play with a potential N+1 while in Huntingdon today, but it wasn't in stock. The one a size down was much too small and the cheaper one that's the same size was just plain nasty. I foresee a trip to Cambridge.

Is that a Stanley 'router' Plane ?

Certainly is....... a Stanley 71 router plane. I bought it 40 years ago and it's never been used. It's still in its original oil paper wrapper inside the box. I lost the instructions unfortunately. It's only on the bench because I was thinking of flogging it on eBay. They go for a tidy sum these days.

I think you should get a blade to those windows.

It's been on the list for the last 15 months.

That is not untidy, it is organised.

I carefully composed the picture so as not to show the half empty bags of sand, Five Star Grout, and Hanson quick-early cement cunningly concealed under the bench.

I've not used one since I left college (clearing the bottom of a long 'housing' joint on a plate-rack)


EDIT - The only reason they fetch so much on e-bay is that nostalgic old farts buy em (probably just to look at )
