Oooopsss...

Don't you just love a bit of Monaco carnage...

I did think of leather. I still have several rolls of assorted stiffness and thickness left over from dad's upholstery and luggage-making business, so it's not as if I'm lacking.

Downside of using leather is that it will get very wet from all the stuff blowing out of the back of the deck. Which means it will go mouldy and rot.

Soak it in neatsfoot oil which should waterproof it. There may be other things but that is what I used.
I should have added that I had a sideline business tanning sheepskins when they were fashionable.

That's always a possibility, I guess, if nothing else suitable turns up.

Something synthetic is preferable though, simply because it's a) lower maintenance and b) far less likely to end up being chewed by rodents.

Absolutely, we have a path down an old branch line that is ideal, only half is lit.

I'd be on the unlit part.

Complete with "headlight" and a steam locomotive whistle on recording. Or maybe just a recording of a steam locomotive.
Ready to play back as people get closer.

Yesterdays apartment looks promising; I'll swing by tomorrow and ask if it's still available.

In other news, I washed the bed sheets this morning.

I know people like to be kept informed.

I've put some fence stain at the top of the slats where the colour has gone due to some help from bird claws scratching at is they waddle along it.

Are they dry yet?

Done similar with small two-way radios and recordings of a horse getting closer, pistol shot, and then the horse galloping away into the distance. In the early hours.

Middle of a woods, no lighting, and a tale of local legend having been told the night before.

when the moon was a ghostly galleon,
tossed upon cloudy seas,
a highwayman came riding, riding
a highwayman came riding up to the old inn door...

I will be going outside to ascertain this in a few minutes, in fact.

 

[Reynard]

I've just had a along with a slice of buttered toast and two paracetamol.

@classic33 It is.

My laundry is still in the tumble dryer and, unlike Andy's, will still be damp. Warm though.
