Just two days of rain and wind, and all the temu flags are shredding, and breaking their bonds. Soon be just more plastic waste to break pollute fields and gardens. I'm guessing that the hard-of-thinking "patriots" won't be doing a community litter pick...

I wanted a nice piece of wood for a thing...So, after looking through one of the wood racks, I decided on this piece of Cocobolo. It’s been sitting patiently waiting to be used since 1996 (!!!), so it should have its day, right? So, I need the replacement cost today, to work out its value…and…

If you want some slow TV over the next few days, Swedish TV is live streaming the relocation of a 113 year old wooden church in Kiruna. It's being shifted to a new site 5km away. www.svtplay.se/video/KnDgQ9...

After this...for two days...

I sent a parcel to the USA on the 31st July. It arrived on the 6th August. On 1st August a parcel was posted to me, from London, via Yodel. I had an email to say it would arrive yesterday, 7th August. Now that's bad enough, but I then had an email advising it had been delivered. Only it hadn't...

Nice find today. Possibly 1950s(ish). Lovely, lovely things...

How could you not want this little guy in your life? Look at him!! Free-hand turned 145mm English Yew Sphere

I had some of the dreaded resin to use up, before it went off...so...

I am in the rare position to combine two Bluesky storms because I have written a book which is about being a woman walking, but there is no point in my persuading you to buy it because it was published by #Unbound. Although if anyone is a publisher and wants to run the paperback, I'm here for that.
