By then, it may be 10 degrees out of orientation!

I think it needs to get that amount of skewhiffery* to justify the effort of fixing it.
*If that's not a word, substitute askewery.

I do not do business plans as we employed an accountant to do all that for us.
However on the production and selling side I know you do woodwork. My advice would be to avoid wooden toys. The market may have changed and it is a different country.
They look good and seem a good idea but in my experience they never sell.
Ahhhh.. The Mull Triangle strikes again!Weather still trying to make up it's mind what to do. Rain is forecast but then it was forecast yesterday as well and it turned out quite a nice day mostly.
Been waiting on a parcel delivery which I was told would be last Friday which turned into Tuesday and then was going to be delayed but this morning was told it would be today. Looked out of my window 20 minutes ago and the courier van was there but no sign of a driver. Next the van had vanished but no parcel. Just a few minutes age knock at the door and there is my parcel delivered by the same van.

Running strips of lard through it prior to cooking is also good.
How do you 'run a strip of lard through' anything?
Ah, I looooooooooooooooove Asterix!!!
I have most of the books...
The wit is extraordinary, but I don't know how close the translation is to the original.

Grey, blustery and showery here chez Casa Reynard.
I will need to ban Madam Lexi from the bedroom tonight, as I do not sleep well with my butt hanging out of the bed to accommodate her penchant for sleeping in the middle of the bed.
I have spent the morning writing, but I have hit a snag and I need to start a section from scratch, I think, in order to rectify it.
It is almost time for luncheon.

Morning.
I couldn't be bothered to stay up and watch the highlights of the GP. If they can't put it on at a sensible time then I won't be bothered in watching it ! I looked up the results instead and went to bed in a bit of a huff !
Was it exciting ? By the way it is on the main TV channels, they don't seemed to be bothered either !
Given that the race didn't finish till nearly quarter to 10 in the evening, the highlights are unlikely to be at a sensible time, unfortunately. If memory serves, free-to-air channels have to wait for a certain time after the race finish before broadcasting the highlights.
I listened to the race live on Radio 5, and I had a timing screen and text commentary on the laptop. I did watch the highlights, but only had them on in the background as it were.
The race was OK. Could've been better, could've been worse.

Available on catchup, All4 , I watched the highlights before I got up this morning.

You use a larding needle. Basically a giant needle with a clip on one end where you attach the strip of fat / smoked bacon etc.
They're equally funny in English as in French. I do think the humour gets tweaked a little with translation, mainly with some of the names, but it passes muster IMHO. (I should state that French is actually my first language.)
