Oh, I have the waste bin. I'll spend five minutes tidying up and dump all the waste in there, then three minutes later the workbench is a mess again and remains so for a couple of hours until I get fed up of moving things out of the way and repeat the process.

IMO a waste bin should be placed either under the bench or at least a foot away from it. That way anything that rolls off the bench (or is knocked off by a careless elbow) can't be accidentally thrown out with the trash. Don't ask how I learned that valuable lesson... 😊

Yeah, not too badly... I get my second jab on the 18th, so I'll be venturing a bit further then.

That's my plan, a fortnight after my 2nd jab. That will be Monday.

If you think to buy one ignore the Olfa pricey ones, they are very good but for us mortals the £10 for an A3 size are fine and will last years.

I have an A3 one bought from TheWorks in Bedford. It cost £8.00. I've used cutting boards for years and this one is as good as any of the others (I have three now).

I would tend to agree, I would find it hard to fill the days after retirement, and I would also like to keep my income current, so I'll keep on doing my current job until I cannot work anymore, then do some traveling.

I'm retired, have been for five years now, days fly by, I always seem to have plenty to do.

Chilly, occasionally sunny and rather blustery here chez Casa Reynard.

I am listening to the F1 qualifying from Bahrain.

Ah, there's a The Works in Ely. Might have a mosey in there when it reopens.

resumed pulling up the decking, from last year. Just takes too long & requires too much effort!

Piled up logs on platform from recovered decking.

logs fell down

{repeat}

Just hope no sparrow lands on it, or I'll have to start again.

It really does help if you plug the kettle in when trying to make a

(I'd unplugged it so I could use the rice cooker earlier)

Madam Lexi has just parked herself on my lap.

Mrs MY has that habit, tho' not with a rice cooker. Delays the coffee I'm making her.

 

[Andy in Germany]

that's it? c'mon man what kind? was it good? what did you use it for? I'm hungry!

German mixed loaf which is destined to be toast for breakfast for the next few days.

Took a while for me to get going Biggs but those miles you put in for me this morning did me the power of good by late afternoon.

My neighbour has been trout fishing again, I watched him and his brother haul a huge cooler box from his van. They put it down and went inside probably for a beer. Within two minutes his cats appeared, circled the cooler and made some half arsed efforts to gain access to the contents. Had it not been for a decent lid I think they would have been fishing.
I'll be spontaneously laughing for days.
