Not sure I could cope with Stormy
I mean - obviously she would be ecstatic for the opportunity and would give me "mate's rates" - or even a freebie due to
errr
anyway - I get back to you on that one after a chat with my wife
and my old Art teacher would have views about my ability at anything artistic
which leave crack cocaine
hmmmm

My wife has bought a new patio set - sofa, chairs and table
It arrived today so I was detailed to assemble it
found all the bits and started
It was one of the flat pack things where the instructions tell you NEARLY everything you need to know to assemble it
nearly - but not quite
They nicely indicated that part A goes with part B - but omitted to label parts with letters
and it was one of those with several ALMOST identical parts
and there was no indication of the difference
or whcih version goes where
but it didn't matter because several stages later you would discover that the next part did not fit
so you could - eventually - work out what needed to be dis-assembled and turned round or replaced - and how to do it
Did manage to do the table without any problems - even though the instruction basically just said "its obvious" (it wasn;t!)
but it is all done now and looks great!

Got a chap due in to replace a sealed unit window pane that has a small crack. That'll be the second to last item ticked off the snagging list. To be fair we've had precious few items and the builders have been very good about resolving them.
Then it's tidy up the garden and bass practice.
I've had a bit of foot pain, possibly that planetary fascism thing, but it seems to have eased today. Will take it very slow and steady with the jogging.
