Today I shall be Mainly...

[Stanley]

Bob will have a hard day tomorrow! I am having a hot drink and then I'll do a bit of gentle wood bothering in the back yard.....

[Stanley]

I've allowed myself to be diverted into a walk,supervising traffic and shopping for milk and onions and will admit I am having trouble screwing myself down to wood-bothering! This is not the end of the world....

[Stanley]

I shall go in the shed early doors and work on my castings and then have another attempt later on after second sleep to do my wood-bothering.... Unlikely though it sounds, I need to fry my sweet potato chips some time today....

[Stanley]

I spent half an hour on refining my castings after painting, overspray needed to be polished off. Tomorrow I shall put the flywheel in the lathe and polish that. I'll attempt wood bothering when it gets daylight but right now to target is breakfast.

Morning

Surprisingly Bob had a quiet day at the park. It seems there were a number of activities going on around Rochdale and of course people were enjoying the weather at home. I spent most of the day indoors sewing just pottering out into the garden every now and again. When Bob got back he cooked ‘ chicken under a brick’ on the BBQ and we ate out in the garden which was very pleasant by 7.00 pm. Our garden gets full sun during the day but from about 5.00 pm it goes into the shade, with just a little sun left in the bottom corner. We ate there under the trees.

Today is due to be extremely hot. Claire Adam and Erin are coming for a BBQ lunch. I think we may eat the food inside where it will be cooler. Have a good day everyone

I have done what I have to outside while it is still cool Sue.



I conquered my antipathy towards wood bothering. I have cut the ornament on a couple of plinths and given them a coat of raw linseed oil.....

[Stanley]

I have improved the shining hour and have fried my sweet potato chips, washed my pans and put everything away. That's quite enough honest endeavour for one day, I shall watch the temperature climb.

... sitting outside under the gazebo (it's nearly finished). We have lunched, drunk Pimm's and are now, at 20:15BST, having a brew..

Very warm night so I think I'll take a day off from the shed and get back for a good second sleep.
I have to attend to weed killing on my paths later.... Just the right weather for it.
