Sunday 10 March – Frustradmin Stuff
Last week has been one of 2 activities. The minor (unfortunately) was in the man shed where progress continues albeit slowly while the major was administratively focussed. Man shed work was principally me building a work bench. With the shed having been emptied the previous week I was able to map out the interior and…
Sunday 3 March – Animal Hospital
Apologies for no blog last week. As previous years, we took the opportunity of the quiet season here to go back to the UK and walk in the Lake District. While we said 2018 would be our last Lakes visit as we want to explore more of France, this year we were invited to spend…
Sunday 17th February – Sterling Work
Why is it that I make these wild claims in my blogs about work I expect to complete during the week? Again, last week, I finished the blog with the claim that, by now, the shed would be complete and ready to stock. Of course it isn’t. However, I did also promise some photos of…
Sunday 10 February – Electrickery
Again, this week’s principal focus has been working on the man shed but I have made a lot less progress than I would have liked. My desire to have it totally complete and stocked by mid-Feb (middle of next week) is unlikely to be met. However, I am very close to finishing on the inside…
Sunday 03 February – Wired
Where has January gone?! It seems like only a few days ago we had the Christmas decorations up. Thankfully however, we have avoided the very cold snap and snow that we see the UK has been experiencing last week and today has been almost warm. Last week’s blog was the first of the year that…
Sunday 27 January – Moving Inside
This week is going to be the first of, what I hope won’t be very many, blogs of 2019 that begins with my ‘wasn’t a very productive week’ statement! My principal effort has been the man shed which is now completed externally and so is completely watertight. This has proven useful as the last week…
Sunday 20 January – Door’dling
As my last blog, the last 7 days have principally been focussed on progressing the new man shed and getting it as close to completion as I can and, externally at least, I’m not far off. By last Sunday I had managed to complete the cladding on 2 sides. Now, all of the exterior cladding…
Sunday 13 January – Rendered Useful
You may recall that when I summarised all of the projects we had completed in 2018 in the last blog of the year, I mentioned that many of my missives began by saying that we hadn’t had a very productive week. I am pleased to say that 2019 has started in the opposite vein and…
Sunday 6 January – New Year, Same Project (for now!)
Following your comments last week about how my blog looked on mobile devices following the update to WordPress. I have completed it in a different way which has hopefully resolved the problem so that it can all be read. Happy New Year to you all. We hope you have recovered from whatever festivities you enjoyed…
