I swept my chimney today and I can't believe how much better my woodburner is drawing/burning.
Just coming to the end of my bathroom renovation; almost exactly 12 months. Bath still on its end in the spare bedroom (as will I be if I don't finish soon).Originally Posted by scarto
Took me 3 months to instal the shower; which broke my personal best by 16 years and 9 months.
You can't rush craftsmanship.

Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.
It's happened to me, as well.
What's going on??????

Chocolate cake or raspberry crumble?
What, are they responsible for filling up the tank ? Or booking tickets ? They might be dogs and you wish you could get to Belgium !
LOL that just my me cry :)
While I'm on a Random Confessions roll (very cathartic) can I go with:
I am about to spend a long weekend in rural Lancashire, staying in the Miss Whiplash suite.
Chesty cold, when will it go away?
“Don’t look back, you’re not heading that way.”
My wife has suggested we get an au pair. The fnatasy in my mind is a athletic, svelte, blonde from Scandanavia with a tendency to wear fetish clothing and an penchant for energetic sex with bearded, overweight Yokshiremen in their 40's. The reality is probably a fat ginger Australian with an attitude problem. Just thought i'd share.
I'm still slightly hungover from the weekend. Screw work. I'm going for a snooze.
You'll be amazed. We have had half a dozen au pairs. .. Some of the applications were, errrrr, interesting to say the least. Let me put it this way, if you want the hot Eastern European au pair from American pie, you'll have no trouble finding her.
Depends who's in charge of recruitment and interviewing.
Well i wont be going to France, i might kill them today.
If the fat one asks for a chair one more time....
Yup, in a nutshell. Ah well, i may have to put the kybosh on this idea. If i have to share my home with someone, i'd rather it not be with somone who i hate the site of who annoys me or someone i love looking at who could get me in trouble. I'll just have to train the dogs up!
Hope nobody else uses the ipad after you or do you have a ready supply of wet wipes?
You make them stand?
I lack focus today. Everything is blurry
Respect the past, live the present, protect the future
I like ginger
We are on our feet all day!
Both sound good to me!

Well, I was the one in charge of the interviewing and hiring. And yeah, I went for a safe middle of the road... Someone who wouldn't be overly repulsive, but who at the same time wouldn't get anyone into trouble. ;)
I have just remembered a period in my teens, when I lost the ability to say "lure". All I could manage was a rather strange sounding "loo-er" noise.
Bit of a bugger if you're a pike fisherman.
A day at the office doesn't seem complete until I've disappointed someone.
Or a stalker.
With a break in the weather I decided to take my boat from its summer mooring to its winter storage at the top of Poole harbour, some break in the weather! It took me ages to make any headway against the tide, spray and 25 knots of head wind. I tucked behind a Marines landing craft and allowed him to flatten the water and punch a hole in the wind.
Three hours later I was sat in a nice bistro bar drinking a pale ale and wondering why I was so nervous out there!
Take the one who doesn't ask for a chair to France.
Take the one who asks for a chair outside and shoot her.
Simple.
I torture myself with Man V Food. :(
since when did yum yum become om nom nom?
007 aftershave.
Oh. Dear. God.
Not impressed GQ? It comes in a presentation box including:
- Shoes with a compass in the heel.
- Life-sized replicas of all the Bond girls (including Rosa Klebb).
- 007 underpants (with quick release paracord webbing).
Today I have been mostly burning Hawthorne and chestnut, in the woodburner, both wind fall trees, what are you burning?
Had to get the jacket out today, it is in the 50's F here in Texas. Nice change from 100 F a month ago. :)
Scaffold board and pallets, free wood burns best :-)
Brain cells - building IKEA furniture will do that...

I'm puzzled by the need for a thread about a Tag/Zenith clearance shop in an outlet village having some watches at reduced prices.
Is this what it's come to?

Jim.
im convinced that these glasses make me sniff.
Wee fella is potty training just now. Not done a poo for three days, poor wee scone. Just heard from the nursery that he has done the biggest poo they have ever seen. I am a mix of relieved (couldn't have been nice for the wee guy), proud (that's my boy, log off the old branch), disappointed (would have liked to see his first big poo laid properly) and disbelieving (some of those nursery girls are sturdy to say the least and must have dropped a kak the size of Alfie himself let alone one of his big poos)

Two weeks off work and I've hurt my back polishing the car !
The polish boys down the road only charge a fiver doh
No sympathy expected.

I was sitting in my favourite chair minding my own business when my watch felt loose. I looked and the bracelet had lost a tiny screw. Having spent some time looking for it I resisted vacuuming that part of the carpet for a week, searching each day, until yesterday I found it and fixed the bracelet. I'm happy with that.
i think im getting SARS.
I used public transport the other week during rush-hour. I realised everyone either has a psychiatric condition and/or tuberculosis.
do not eat a real foods chocolate bar.
theyre completely gross and scratch the roof of your mouth.
You just saw "chocolate" and went for it, didn't you?

no.. it was foisted on me to the tune of "tryittryittryit" by a health freak colleague.
but generally im totally all over chocolate given half a chance
Why did the bloke in the pissoir stamp his feet before leaving?
We generally manage to resist vacuuming for months at a time in our house.
To shake off a turd that was clinging to the vibram ?
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
By coincidence the lady next to me at lunch has just taken delivery of a huge, turd-shaped sausage. It has the consistency of Bavarian Weißwurst (though it's probably a blood sausage) and oozes out of its' skin which I find less than appetizing. Mind you, she looks like she's had a few of these in her time.
