There is now a gap between the door and the frame, through which there is a devil of a draught. I'll need to chisel the knackered bits out, slip some new sections in and then paint everything over. I really needed this on top of everything else...

maybe just throw a towel down today & work on it tomorrow?

I found twenty pounds on my way to the supermarket yesterday. When I got home I realised I hadn’t put it far enough into my pocket and lost it again. On my way out this morning I found it nestling in the bottom of the hedge.

That's lucky, I lost one early Sunday morning. Did it look like this?

I was given it for xmas!

It’s a lot harder writing a resignation letter when you like the people you work with.

My solicitor has informed me that not wearing a helmet could seriously affect my insurance claim as they will argue it was my own negligence.

How negligent of me to be silly enough to get in the way of a driver who didn't understand the big red STOP sign and for me not to wear a plastic hat that would have protected my ankle from having a Citroën drive over the top of it.

Thought it was a bit chilly when walking the dog.

Were your flies undone as well ?

Isn't the Hi-Vis and helmet, and mandatory cycle lane usage, only a legal requirement in Dublin(City) at present?
I know various other places have similar requirements, Nenagh had a 24 hour lights on requirement at one stage.

I'd be asking for a demonstration of how something worn at one end of the body, could prevent injury to the other end. Especially since you weren't on the bike at the time. Head that argument off before it starts.

Good luncheon of a chicken sandwich, banana, minneola and two

This afternoon, I have turned a cauliflower into florets ready for steaming, disposed of the "freezer oops" stuff I didn't want to keep, moved a load of cut firewood into the garage, and hauled in some more stuff to trim and cut up.

Whew. Now for a and a snack.

I've had a think about it, and I'll do a temporary repair with some outdoor type wood filler. And I'll fix it properly in the spring when I don't mind having the door propped open while I footle about with a hammer and chisel etc.

Rats are destructive little feckers.

If she brings back some of their fabled cakes, can you lob one in my direction?

When you finally paint the wood sprinkle some dry sand on while the paint is wet. I used this method in the past to give a non slip surface in my boats but it may deter any further ratttatack.
