Two tons of gravel to go round my garden path today....
Warming up with coffee..

Built 3/5ths of an IKEA wardrobe for my mum yesterday and woke up this morning with a big blister on one finger and an aching shoulder.

If it’s not a muscle involved in cycling then the chances are it’s going to ache if I do something with it.

Morning all! I'm just about to run a bath.

It's bed changing, hoovering, shopping & petrol (all done) day, today.
I also need to top up the bird feeders, too.

I feel your pain.. Did you use that poxy little Allen key, or get the socket set out?

Mrs P is going out for lunch,so I might just fall in to my local cafe,after leaving the chemists with my monthly dose of drugs and potions.Why not.

So far the plan on keeping my head down not getting involved in anything complicated has worked. Time for a second cuppa and a gaze out of the window at the sunshine.

This is quite robust by IKEA standards, so not a hex bolt in sight, which is unfortunate as I treated myself to some proper bondhus hex keys a month or two ago.

I had an electric screwdriver and plenty of other gear, but I think it was all the twisting and turning in a limited space that did it as much as the lifting and shifting. Cycling isn’t good for flexibility for sure.

I've decided I'll never touch any IKEA furniture again without access to a cordless drill.

Oops, I just saw your post which only appeared after I'd sent it.

He can't have known the number of postal votes cast before polling day. A list of postal voters is available to all candidates, whether all use them, let alone before polling day can't be known. They are counted at the same time as the votes cast in the polling stations, not before. They can also be accepted in polling stations on the day.

So whilst the total number of postal votes issued can be known, the number can't, as they are counted once only.

My understanding is that they are sorted but not counted before the official count. This is supposed to be done under strict conditions and no outside person is supposed to know the volume for each candidate. I do not imagine the numbers handed in at polling stations would make much difference to the overall total.
It will be on record somewhere that somebody did make an estimate at least and mentioned this in public. This person is now in HOL. You should not assume "he".

Another grey morning but tomorrow looks good for one day only before back to the rain showers.
Got some marrowfat peas on the boil which will turn eventually into some kind of dip. The last one I did had too much garlic so must keep that in mind.
Now I wait for a GP call to discuss one of my numerous problems. This time hopefully minor but these things have an unfortunate tendency to escalate.

Dull, wet and grey here. I needed my umbrella on my walk earlier.

Still, last day of imprisonment work this week

 

[Threevok]

First commute on a bike in over a month. Still puffing away at my desk 30 mins later

It's not far from being the weekend and I am going to see how far along NCN route 2 I can get tomorrow.
