Why did he think that writing a book about it would help?

He's not even wrote it he got a ghostwriter to do it. It's help his bank balance

wow, that's fascinating. how old do you think it is? how did you catch it?

Aged probably around 1880’s and found on seabed while doing a night dive searching for such things. Lots of broken plates and quite a few china mugs with some damage. Many from MacBraynes shipping company which ran and still does run passenger and freight to all the Scottish islands.
There is also a sunken Spanish galleon in the vicinity and there have been attempts to salvage it over the years. So far as is known none very successful as they were searching for a lot of gold supposed to be on board. I reckon the local clans looted the vessel before they sunk it.:becool:

A ye-oldie whiskey galore maybe.
 
A chilly, blustery and occasionally sunny day here chez Casa Reynard.

Slept really well, Overslept, actually. Ooops. Reckon my body is still telling me that I'm in something of a sleep deficit. But I spent the morning puttering about in the garden looking for deadfall. Stuck to the bits where I'm protected from the very keen breeze. Will have to go out later with the chainsaw as there's a dead branch dangling in the curly willow, and it's too long / too big to pull free in one piece.

I'd much rather be testing my new scanner and getting stuck into the backlog of stuff, but looking at the forecast for most of the coming week, I had better take advantage of this break in the weather. It might be at least Friday before I get another chance to haul wood.

The match between Ronnie O'Sullivan and Luca Brecel is shaping up to be a good one.

Anyways, it is almost time for luncheon.

MrsF's in work, the boiler is still not working, so she's sat there in two coats. They were able to work from home most of last week due to the fault. Part's availability.

Been drilling holes and fitting vents to the storage shed. It's getting a bit damp inside and I suspect there isn't enough air flow. Down side is my son has overfilled it, which compounds the issue (the shed was for his car parts). I've got six vents to fit to the three exposed sides. Hopefully this will reduce the damp !

Wow, I just managed to wrestle Excel into submission and finished the monthly report in under two hours and with minimal swearing.

I suggest that Excel for a report not the best place to start.

I suggest a doc programme and drop tables from your data ( spread sheet). Then save them together in a folder for the month.
Also share the file from your computer appropriately to people who need to read but not fiddle. Also means you retain ownership.

But you might be stuck with a bumpy system that makes you do that. There are plenty of them around.

Do I miss work? You can guess

Those magpies are ganging up again outside my window. I think they're plotting something.

(Incidentally, the white plastic bag has now been there for 4 years.)
