Hi,
Thanks Refugee. In short TV is not worth having? I'd forgotten about 30 minutes news being shown half way through a movie and we too never watched these movies because of the interruption. Imagine going to a cinema and seeing adverts every five minutes or 30 minutes of news during a movie; the cinema would be trashed.
Bron and I dislike sport so why don't the BBC correctly name their news to BBC sport? The number of times I've switched on for BBC News to find a ball being kicked around or some manager crying about his teams latest defeat; I've got news for these overpaid managers; their team lost because they didn't win so get over it.
Enough moaning; today is another Pooh Bear blustery day doing its best to bring the bungalow and remaining trees down. Now with 10ltrs of chain oil a new chain installed and two new chains in stock I'm ready with the chainsaw so the wind can also take a hike. I'm now fed up of complaining so will try my best to ignore the dire climate and simply get on with life. I'm in fighting spirit this morning; the car is on the drive and later I'll wander into the garage.
The compressor I sold yesterday fitted very neatly between wall and water meter but I think once the new bigger compressor arrives the water meter might need moving? I've got lots of hardwood turning blanks which I need to make a home for and the garage conversion to workshop can resume.
Having been asked if she could have the logs from the storm damage this lady and her husband/partner collected three full loads with a promise to collect the remainder during the following week. We waited all week but the logs remained until I did two trips on the Sunday to the tip just before the tip closed clearing the lot. This morning I've popped into the store where this lady works and politely informed her the logs have now all gone. In future all logs will go directly to the tip. This year this has happened three times with locals asking for logs then cherry picking; 2014 is a fresh start and I'm taking control.
I've now got good heating and lighting in the garage so can work in comfort; plenty of new toys to play with. I'm clearing the old workshop out and will return it to third bedroom status with new carpet etc. The front spare bedroom is also going to get a severe tidy up. My enthusiasm returned in abundance this morning; the nine days exercise clearing the storm damage must have done me some good so its not all doom and gloom after all. The wind and rain is battering the front door near my elbow as I type and looks set in for the day. Now where can I make space for the turning blanks?
Kind regards, Col.
