I think I had a Powermatic 66 table saw crated up and shipped to Ipswich from Charleston about thirty years ago. It seemed like a good idea at the time. I should have bought a Delta.
I don't know, I had the Delta, when I worked in retail management and helped with remodels, and I was not impressed. Think I'd go Milwaukee or Ryobi if I had to do it again.(which i won't. I dislike woodworking, but admire those who do it.).

The joys of technology! Had to renew insurance, so called the number and was answered by what I assume you'd call AI. It misheard my date of birth :crazy::hyper: but was otherwise quite efficient. Then it connected me to a operator (yeah, I know, but I'm old). We were getting along fine when the phone suddenly decided the call had ended :wacko: but since she could still hear me and I could hear her we continued. Then, when she finished and the AI returned, the phone decided the call was still connected. :becool: Could be they are taking over!:surrender:

In other insurance related news, my DiL was hit by a lady coming out of a car park yesterday with her car turned upside down! Fortunately while shaken she was uninjured. Which does say something for the car.

The window cleaners have been, they commented that the weather couldn't make up its mind. The Sun is shining but there is a bitter wind. Earlier it was raining.

'Ang on, this woman exited the car park in an upside down car? Did this happen during the morning of 1 April?

Back from Matalan with two very purple suitcases.We will see those on the baggage carousel,i was also treated to three short sleeved shirts for the holiday.I have also been in the garden or our spare bit of land,and dug three massive holes.Mrs Postman has ordered two fruit trees a third will be ordered later.It seems they are expensive.
You can buy fruit trees for £5 each from B&M.
 
It's been very :rain: here today although the :sun: is trying to put in an appearance.

Had a planned power cut in the morning so the overhead cables could be worked on. This is a holdover from a couple of weeks ago when it was too windy. As it was wet and mucky and I couldn't do anything, I toddled off into town, ran a few errands, picked up some more cat food (Wilkinsons are doing Felix AGAIL at £3 a box of 12) and had a quick squizz around Tesco. Picked up a job lot of cans of tomato paste on YS.

Now sitting here chilling out with a :cuppa: and thinking about doing some bike fettling.
 
I'm feeling yeuk ! Cold, shivering, headache and feeling xx( . That was yesterday!

I slept most of yesterday. Felt like I had been trampled on by a herd of cattle. Soaking wet in the night. I wonder what today will bring !

Hope you feel more chipper soon xxx :hugs:

Keep yourself warm, rested and hydrated.

P.S. Chamomile tea is good for keeping fevers at bay.

Yeah. But you won't know what rootstock they've been grafted on to. Probably a standard most like as they're the cheapest, which means that you will quickly end up with a 30-something foot tree. Half standard and dwarfing rootstocks are more spendy.

Although AFAIK bramley apples are only available as a standard.
