Morning.
Went out with my friends last night to a pub . It was our Christmas get together .
The weather this morning looks a bit brighter than yesterday . The grey sky has a blue tinge to it .
Trying to think of what to do today . I wonder if I can come up with something more exciting than tiling ?

How big is your saw? I have a petrol-powered Stihl with a 14 inch bar, which will deal with most things. If your bar is too short, rotate the logs, or, if too heavy, rotate the saw.

As for the axe, practice, practice, practice... Pretend the logs you are splitting is the head of someone you hate or something. I find that works a treat...

My bar is about 8 inches battery powered, adequate for anything else, except the remains of this tree. And yes, I'm practising with the axe!

I have a question for peeps on here who order items from USA. Much as I like sewing, I like to occasionally buy clothes that are unusual and supporting people in the textile industry. In this case it is fairly traded and from Nepal.

If I ordered this item https://store.greatergood.com/colle...ucts/46397-flowering-vines-fleece-wrap-jacket

What sort of import taxes will I pay? Or how do I find out please? Better still how do I find a UK supplier?

I don't know, but I'm thinking about buying one for Mrs. GA.
Quite her style.

Let me know if you buy one, and if she likes it.

I also like this brighter one. https://store.greatergood.com/collections/3275-tops/products/32923-diagonal-rays-stonewashed-tee

I have bought (unusual) printed patterns from USA and Australia. I do not think there are any import taxes for printed paper items.

The washing is now complete, soap dispensed and wossname told to behave itself in future.

No T-shirts were harmed.

Picard ! That's what I'm doing tonight !

On the MTB tomorrow, and given how wet it's been, Roman Lakes descent will be a fast flowing river - it never dries up, even in summer. Tomorrow will be river rapids.

I have been busy measuring, marking out and cutting some white board to cover some pipes in the downstairs shower room .
My wife offered some words of encouragement !
" That looks disgusting ! "
