So what are you going to do instead?

I was going to build the shed that I have been planning for god knows how long, only to find I can't get any timber.
Put a new floor down in my garage workshop and spend yesterday washing and machine polishing the motor. Amazing what you can get done when time doesn't become the constraining factor.

Couple of places in Glasgow still doing delivery of timber but they've ramped up their delivery charges. Jewson as delivering on a "priority" basis from their Glasgow depot only. I don't think my 4 sheets of 18mm hardboard plywood would be a priority so my floor of the new shed needs to wait.

A woman I work with her husband is a sparky so he's going to get me my armoured cable from his supplier, will give me another project/job to get on with.

Yeah, frustrating having all this free time and nothing to be getting on with. Shame it's all lockdown as I have five 2400mm x 600mm Cabershield boards at 22mm thick going spare after flooring my garage with them and keeping a couple spare for the shed (when I finally build it)

Finished my first ever grown up jigsaw. Who knew they were so addictive and perfect for lockdown moments...

I'd post a picture (very proud of my work) but can't for some reason. You'll have to take my word for it!
 
I’ve always wanted to play sax, currently searching for a cheap used one.

If the neighbours don’t like me now I’m pretty certain they’ll despise in a few weeks ??

I tried to learn once as it's my favourite sounding instrument - looks very cool too. Crikey it was so hard. Never realised how tricky the reed "action" is never mind reading music and knowing where the notes were on the sax. I gave up in the end as just too hard work. Could use the reed, could read the notes, could put my fingers on said notes but the timing element defeated me.
 
I was asked to put the patio furniture out. Last week I jet washed both. So set it all out it was lovely and sunny. Looked at the bbq ... and I have now cleaned that as it had some penicillin on the grill ?!
Thankfully wife said it’s a marathon not a sprint so I have been stood down ... now looking at films to watch although I really enjoy call of duty deathmatch against AI teams .. but a 7 yr old should not witness such things
 
I've gone back to Red Dead Redemption 2 this week. About a year ago I stopped playing it because it was getting boring, and I was only about 50% completed on the story. Have got that up to 58% now.

I had a two piece jigsaw once, but couldn’t finish it as I lost the lid of the box.:oops:

Haha when I was in school I played the Trombone only because the girl I fancied played the french horn. I decided to jib it because all of my mates were playing footy at dinnertime and I used have to go to practice and couldn't play.

My teacher told me I had a real talent and tried to persuade me into doing it but once the girl started going out with my mate there was no way I was going back ?

My last lesson the tutor gave me a sheet of music to play. After a few minutes she said "what in earth are you playing...it's Danny Boy" - once I knew how it should sound I was fine but what I'd played was unrecognisable!
