Today has gone beyond just grey to sky leaking grey. Caught me out earlier on - I went out for a walk round the local green space, setting off while it was cold and dry.; at the furthest point of the walk the leakage started. Let's say I was cold wet and miserable an hour later when I got home. Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? ID: 2110434 · |

Likewise... No sun, No shine, No proper time of day... All is a chilly dark misty wet damp. There is lots of mud! See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) ID: 2110435 · |

After 2 days of pulling 2 rooms apart and putting them back together again I now have my old computer workbench out from upstairs and replaced by a dining table giving me a lot more clear floor space to move about in. I'm going to cut the old workbench's steel frame in half length ways, weld on 2 new legs to each half, then weld supports for a shelf to go under the tops and then weld steel mesh onto the tops and shelves to turn it into 2 veggie garden stands for outside to hold self watering containers for more growing more veggies that I don't have to bend down to harvest. Anyhow it must be time for Beer O'clock. Cheers. ID: 2110468 · |

We may have warmed up to a balmy 10 deg C but without sunshine, this feels like deep midwinter! Plus lots of mud... And the rivers are full to their brim... See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) ID: 2110480 · |

It seems that there's a bit of a shortage of certain steel stocks going about these days (likely due to rebuilding efforts) so for my latest project I've had to improvise a bit, though that does mean a bit more welding, as I got some more steel passed over the fence this morning. Now after measuring & cutting some of it up I'm going to take a quick beer break while I dwell on a solution to an awkward little problem before slicing 2 steel bedheads in half from top to bottom.

Wiggo. Have you ever considered a hydroponic growing system?

I have Admiral, but I'm settling on wicking tubs for the most part just for their ease of setup and use plus I have most of the stuff here already to make them up (I've collected some stuff over the years to repurpose). I should be starting to see the potato plants sprouting in my tyres any day now and my butternut pumpkin seeds can go in their raised beds this weekend (yes I know that I'm cutting that fine) as we should be finally be over these cool single digit morning temps. With a bit of luck the temp outside will be up to something comfortable soon so that I can file and grind away at all that metal that I cut yesterday to see how it all fits together and get the final measurements for the last 4 pieces of steel needed so that it's all ready for welding. Anyhow it must be time for a coffee break. Cheers. ID: 2110541 · |

All is calm and cool and quiet. Both Orion and the Big Dipper shine brightly in the clear darkness. There is the faint rumble of a very distant freight train clattering along somewhere afar... Back to summertime already?! (Nope... There's still the rivers of mud!) See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) ID: 2110545 · |

Just taking a quick beer break here before I clamp the last of the cut steel together ready for welding and then I guess that I'd better setup a welding screen across the driveway. Whether I actually get some welding done today will be another story for later on. Anyhow I better get that beer poured. ;-) Cheers. ID: 2110547 · |
