We are 21.5 miles in to our 30 miler at the moment and having a cuppa with my dad. Note to selves, canal towpaths are not nice to cycle on in February. The first 5 miles took over an hour! Still we cheered ourselves up with this beauty....

If my fringe were longer, I would look a bit like Margaret Hoolihan in MASH. Until I lose some weight, she is slimmer in the physog than I am. The losing of the weight is a work in progress.

My son has been dropped off for his school skiing trip - lucky sod. Long coach journey to Austria for 5 days skiing before coming back next Sunday.

Garage door repaired - bloody thing nearly fell off when one of the cables snapped. One side went up, the other down. A quick trip to B&Q for a new cable. Most of the faffing was taking the pre-load out of the spring and getting the cable length just right.

@fossyant I'm liking that for the DIY skills. Our back door step has seemingly gone rotten and has now fallen off! I think I might be lacking the skills to get a new one back on!

I am lucky that I kept our old hardwood front door. I have cut a side section off this, planed it brown to size and sanded it off.

I have just finished with the router putting a wide groove down the bottom to fit a ridge in the motar. I still haven't sussed a way to keep it all in place. I cannot take the door frame apart and I do not want to drill through the DPC.
