A wee sun trap at the rear..
Mrs M likes that.

Oh well, I need some refreshment
At ease....

Similar sized ones down here now. Any of the old ones require lifting gear and two "lifting it". They'd not have lasted a week on a site in the eighties.

You need sun for a Suntrap to work don't you?
Enjoy and I am.

We just manhandled them...
the removal of the turf was hard going, classic new ground as the layer of soil under the grass was highly compacted.
Got there in the end..

I was going to remove a bit of turf from the front of here and cover the area in stone, but TBH I'd have quite a bit of turf removal.. maybe, we'll see.

That's why I said they'd never last a week on an eighties site. Too much machinery these days.
That the base for your shed down.

Less grass to cut, paving slabs don't look as good. Swings and roundabouts.

Morning all
Sunny again....

Beginning of July for the shed...
compared to the areas of grass I once cut

Same here. It'll never last.

Your youngest is under the slabs! Explains your choice of slab that does.
Wasn't it around the same time, last year(July) that you said you'd started on the project.
It'll need cutting more than once. We know you've managed it once, so no excuses.

Morning??

Poor Ails
who needs pure cremation when you just use slabs

Had to wait on some drainage work to be done,
this lot make the cooncil look fast..
didn't help this covid thing....
seems I have a 'rope' just going into DK land today

have to get the grass done around TV cycling...maybe

The slabs need summat solid under them, if just to avoid prying eyes when relaying them becomes necessary.

Problems with your drains can be tricky. Relax, rehydrate and run some water down later.

Portable telly mounted on the mower, sorted.

and yes, it is still blue skies and sunshine....

I remember buying a Sinclair Spectrum computer and the freebie was a small black and white Sinclair mini telly

Man, it was cool...
I didn't fancy yon motor thingy though

I had a Spectrum too with the rubber keys. Remember you used to get computer magazines with programmes that you could type in and make games. Slightest mistake and it didn't work and the games were so basic. You thought it was great at the time though.

Owdo Mr Blue Skies
You're gonna need some protection if this carries on. You got any?

The telly ate batteries and the C5 needed narrower wheels.
Wonder what sort of reception they'd get if introduced now, what with e-scooters and e-bikes on the roads. Single speed with wide "tyres" wasn't the best idea. Better batteries now as well.

Never thought they'd actually catch on. Sure the tape size had been reduced, but they took too long to load.
Would you wait over half an hour for it to load nowadays?
Gone full circle in some ways with Raspberry Pi? now allowing something similar. Don't think there's actual games for it though.

I bought some more "tea" today.

Oh yes.
I remember that well..
I remember 'ahem' downloading a game on dial up modem, two days...
I still do it occasionally with some Raspberry Pi stuff..
not a lot but mostly copy and paste though..
(I use Putty and copy and paste is a bit hit and miss)

Just to run daft wee things like
10 Print 'Bob is good'
20 GOTO 10


(hopefully correct)
The cost..
I paid £250 for a Commodore C128,
some double tape decks could copy the games

Raspberry Pis are brilliant wee things..
I've one running since 2016 doing the plane stuff, think I upgraded from a 2 to a 3B at one point, SD cards? replaced only 1.
It runs other ADBS progs like performance charts and ModeSMixer2, they port over to my computer..
Sadly plane numbers well down, averaging 33% of normal (what is normal) but hopefully,
my location does me in as if I could get 50 to 70 miles further W / SW I'd pick up the busy tract out over Ireland.
I have a couple of projects I want to do but keep putting them off..

Get a decent amount from the Turkish shop?

Need to find one first.
