Do I spend a Grand on tools I might never use, or tools I don’t have room for, Jamie has no idea what I am buying but noticed a glint in my eye and enthusiasm in my voice when I was telling her about bobbin disk and belt sanders router tables drill presses and Forstner […]
Sometimes all the planets align and everything is perfect but most of the time when planets get close to aligning I am doing something else and don’t notice… What if they’re aligning right now and I am actually staring at those stars? First round of redundancies were announced at work today and although I was […]
After a whole week off work, pottering in the garden and working on me shed has moved the whole project on so much with the interior now fully panelled out, and the guttering attached. The rainwater now needs to be temporarily managed until I can get a pipe running the full length of Jamie’s office […]
We did Halloween stuff this afternoon supporting a freind who runs Greg’s in Crewe and really promoting the season supplying pumpkins for kids to carve, we were worried Reagan and Lincoln might have been too old but oh no… They loved it and it was good to catch up with Helena and hear her story […]

I also utilised as much of Celotex insulation to cover the intended opening for the window, Anything that […]
As we sat in me shed drinking beer just talking and I thought, this is what love is, well it is for me anyway! Not literally, I mean the mundane, I mean living life every second of everyday with the person you just want to be with, doing everyday stuff and just loving it.
Lincoln and I had a great night last night watching football Bills v Pats followed by Green Bay v The Broncos while Reagan and mommy went to watch the Taylor Swift movie in Chester. Pizza, Wings and beer (non alcoholic for Linc) we had a good time teaching him about the rules and, of course, […]
Trying to dry the window frame I turned on the heater for almost an hour while I took Billy for a walk which seemed excessive but I wanted to give the wood the best chance to dry out. What did impress me hugely was the fact that Mt shed retained that heat all day, so […]
