Good morning fellow retirees,
It's just above freezing here on the Dorset coast. A friend is popping round for a run about 10:00, I've dug out my merino base layer and my trusty berghaus extrem running jacket. Yesterday was spent making a light by drilling a small hole in an empty Roku gin bottle. The bottle is quite pretty as it's moulded with images of the various plants and berries used in the making of the gin. I've fed a couple of strings of multicolour led lights through the hole, the type that use a very fine silver coloured wire. It looks quite effective. The lights are fed with a USB type plug in controller with a button that alters the light pattern but the lights originally came with a remote control and I've checked that works too.
I'm quite pleased with it, and it's got the nod of approval from Mrs Tenkaykev. I've suggested buying more gin, purely so I have the raw materials to make another, but I just got a raised eyebrow.
