Treated front fence & side gates with wood stain , they were looking pretty grim but now like new well pleased..😎

Can you do mine? It’s only 50yds long.  ::)
.   


Did the back garden earlier in the year about the same size as yours did 3 or 4 panels a day took about a week in all easy, so do it yourself 😄😃😀

I need to do one of my fences which is a couple of years old and looked OK when new, but is now looking pretty weathered.  :-\

The problem is that the neighbours painted their side a horrible diarrhea colour and it's Cuprinol as well which is expensive. Ho hum.  ::)
So what? You're side doesn't have to match their side.

Some naga chicken and a gallon of lager and I'm sure it wouldn't take too many attempts to get a colour match. :y
You'd have to do it once a week, though.  ;D

A weekly spray job?  :o  :D

Should be doable, if they don't move house because of the smell  ;D

I've brought tat off ebay  with no issues and at reasonable prices  ;D
You just know that a £250 pub being sold for £25 isn't as virgin as the seller claims, and will be a faulty one that somebody has badly run an iron over.  I know it, you know it, even my mums dog knows it. ;)
I'd pay £250 for a pub, even if it was wrecked. Does any beer come with it?

Finally finished the Tortoise palace, apartfrom varnish, but that will have to wait until it hibernates as the fumes would probably kill it.  ::)
Might be able to get some car work in now.  :-\

There's a tortoise on twitter called Hurricane, he is 85 years old. He pushes a ball around the patio by getting close up to it and popping his head out.  ;D

She has just been talking about getting it a ping pong ball for that reason. Its only 3 inches long so a full sized ball might be a bit much.  :y

I hear it may be signing for Arsenal. More enthusiasm, commitment and as much speed as most of their players.  ;D

If you think its annoying on iPadOS/iOS, Jobs takes it to a whole new level of annoyance on macOS :(

Received a nice retirement gift today of a stash of decent wine albeit 6 months after the event.

Joiners still here but will finish tonight after 5 whole days - we haven't really  been able to get out - they arrive at 8 and leave at 4.30. Been trying out the rubbish tip booking system at Bracknell which was brilliant - no waiting at all - to dump the old doors which I could not even give away. People were queuing for over 2 hours at nearby Camberley tip.

Not sure what Magnet have done but have a whole load of spare satin steel 4 inch and 3 inch hinges  which they have not charged for but came with the delivery. Only used 4 inch hinges.

My mum's care home have tested everyone again yesterday and results will be back in a couple of days - if it remains clear then I think we may be able to visit in about 2 weeks time. Not sure what ppe etc requirements will be in place.

Today I was transferred from Southport Hospital to the Liverpool Heart and cardiac hospital at Broad green. Where I had an angiagram and a stent fitted, and confirmation that my chest pains on Tuesday were a moderate heart attack.
