And done. This has been the last couple of afternoon's work in the shed. I've had these diamond plates for months now, but they're only about 2-3 mm thick and can't be used flat on a bench if you have knuckles! This scrap of KD hardwood with a 1 mm cutout and some magnets should do the trick.

Ptoo!

Right. The rain has eased again. Time to go back to the shed and wipe my oiled-up wood. Perhaps apply some wax if it has dried enough. Unlikely in this weather.

Ok, I might not get back out to the shed this afternoon. Stuck in the house by another downpour. It won't be the same storm, unless it is some little Pratchettian storm-in-training.

Ok, I'm back in from the shed for a cuppa. Please control yourselves and form an orderly queue, Gentles and Ladymen. Yes, I do have sawdust on my slightly hairy forearms. Yes I am wearing that most aphrodisiac of scents, Boiled Linseed Oil, but I need y'all to act with some decorum.

Oh no, trapped in my shed by a thunderstorm!

Weeks after the 20th anniversary of the 2nd Bali bombings in Kuta and Jimbaran Beach, today we commemorate the 23rd anniversary of the more murderous 2002 Paddy's Pub and the Sari Club, also in Kuta, south Bali. Commiserations to the survivors, victims' families, first responders and investigators.

My 'hobby' is just making random 𝘯𝘢𝘮 𝘫𝘪𝘮 and using them for a few days until the vegetal matter goes manky. The current one has an already pretty manky chilli, sliced, rice vinegar, good fish sauce, a few drops of roasted sesame oil, maple syrup and mint leaves. Here are some more standard types.

Not sure if the latest SMBC by @zachweinersmith.bsky.social is parody or premonition.

God morgen. I see the news from Norway didn't cause his head to explode in a wild apoplectic stroke. Pity. Probably because he knows, deep in the cold, black swinging brick that passes for his heart, he deserves no such honour.

Hey, you know that noise you can sometimes make when you're setting up a perfectly normal, not shonky at all cut on the table saw and, just as you reach out to remove the digital angle block from the 10" cross-cut blade, the air compressor kicks in behind you? I made that noise this afternoon.

The Blackshirts and the Redcaps would just deny it was him and claim 'deepfake video', 'crisis actors', 'false flag' and other such nonsense.

Absolutely brilliant batting by Mooney (1st 100 in an ICC tournament) and King (1st ever ODI 50) at the end to save a very ordinary Australian innings. Aus 9/221 after 50. Excellent bowling, fielding, and especially 'keeping by Pakistan for the first 30 overs! 🏏 #ICCWWC #AUSvPAK

When I came in from the shed a moment abo I brought with me a small sharp, 'self-tapping' screw which I screwed into my indoor broom where the hanging handle kept falling off the shaft. It took less than 30 seconds. I had been meaning to do it for 8 years.

I bet you that never happened to my grandfather. Just went to use my callipers and the battery was flat.

It troubles me that I’m starting to feel the same way about Bluesky that I do about the UK. Like: it sounds great, and some of the people I know are great, but the leadership is making some weird choices and I’m a bit worried it may all be over in a couple of years.

Damn ICE blackshirts going totally over the top against people with Latino names!

I have many different types of soy sauce, Happy Baby (mushroom), dark, Golden Mountain (light), kecap manis (sweet), but I just noticed I was almost out of the famous Japanese table soy sauce, so I asked Google to add it to my shopping list. Thanks, Google.

KITCHENWARE COMPANY BOSS: So, did you come up with a name for that revolving food tray, Susan? SUSAN: No, couldn't be arsed.

*sproing* "Well, you can't win 'em all", said Zebedee. "Time for bed."

Right. I'm for bed. Not sure why since I've blown my window for a fasting blood test tomorrow. Perhaps I'll blow the dust of the bedroom TV and catch the South African response to the Kiwi's 231 in Indore. Anyhoo, see youse later!

Suck my starboard stone, what an idiot! I've just enjoyed a lovely late dinner/supper of a chicken and assorted veggie tray bake with a hot honey/soy sauce. And I have eaten far too late to be going tor the fasting blood test I had planned for tomorrow morning! Grrrrr!

@kels316.bsky.social No disrespect to Sista Cate, but is the advice in this graphic up to date? I know these things change on the reg.

Or, and hear me out here, it's just a stab in the dark, they could provide schools with more money so they can employ enough people to do both the record-keeping and the actual teaching.

I think that community volunteering idea could have some merit but instead of immigrants it should be MPs. You want to be an MP? Volunteering time. You want to stand as one? Volunteering time. You want to keep your post-mp benefits? Volunteering time.

Well that's no Gouda.

It is not "eating". It is neither "hungry" nor is it "rogue" in any manner of behaviour except the technical one stated. It is a mass. It has a gravity well into which stuff falls. If more stuff is falling in, well its mass increases with the stuff and it may be in a more dense volume of spacetime.

India owned the final 10 overs but ended up all out for 247 with a ball left. Good luck to Pakistan, but I have to crash now. Please shake hands at the end, no matter the result. 🏏 #ICCWWC #INDvPAK

That was a bit village. Any catch the keeper can teach is her catch. 🏏 #ICCWWC #INDvPAK
