    Headache's back, nose getting a bit bunged up

    I think I'll have a little rest

      Snitches get stitches.

      And another afternoon bites the dust.

      Brushed up more of those expensive chippings I paid a lot to have stuck on the external walls of the house.

      Took an old door down to the one pigsty that still has a roof of sorts.

      Cleaned up around the garden bench and next door's untouched for 18 months barbeque thingie.

      Then off down to the garage to inspect any ingress of water after yesterday's deluge: happily it seems to have remained dry, maybe all that expanding foam stuff worked.

      Then into the shed to inspect the contents of my grandfather's tool box which was inherited by my father & stuffed full of yet more tools, obsolete locks, and stuff I have no idea wtf it is.

      Found an odd thing that turned out to be a weighing scales.

      Also a selection of extremely rusty planes & such like that have received some WD40 before I attempt to clean them up properly.

      Once I'd got bored with that it was time for a shower, and now I'm sat here listening to the wireless.

      After a glorious sunny day it's got remarkably dark out there, and windy with it.

      There may be a squall on its way.

      Tea: Tesco chunky breaded haddock cod, etc.

      It's 17.1 deg in here currently.

      I thought the cold shower was a bit more bracing that it has been.
      When the fun stops, STOP.

        Dog walked, sun shining, blue skies, still billing hours.

          Well there's a thing: the two wooden planes I found are "coffin smoothers".

              dinner was more madras, with rice and naan.
              and yet more Rioja.
              ents will be Vera, until then i don't know.
              i may wander into general and wind up the nasty little irish troll and his expat twat chums.

                  Making soup, aka the apotheosis of the Big Chicken. I decided on the zingy tomato and lentil variety this time

                  As I do this one in the InstantPot™, it should be ready in an hour or ninety minutes (there are several stages, so depressurisation and repressurisation add to the time). I've decided to ignore the question of how to fit it all in the freezer for now

                      Evening all

                      Dinner has been a thick cut Sirloin Steak with Cauliflower Cheese and Green Beans, washed down with a rather acceptable Cabernet Sauvignon.
