Things That Gladden The Heart

What have you done about power Greig? Apart from what looks like a single socket by the ceiling I cannot see much. (Think a nice bit of dado trunking would be ideal ?)

All machines are powered from sockets at 330mm from the floor. The cabinets are all custom built with power routing in them.

90% of portable tools are battery so don’t need any above bench sockets.

High level socket on the back wall for the fine dust extractor that’s yet to be installed.

The central main bench has 2 x 2 floor sockets under it where the table saw runs from and eventually router motor will run from.

The aim was to have no trailing cables anywhere.

Fair enough…Re the lack of sockets on the bench. I’d rather be looking at them than looking for them. (Not knocking your shop though it looks excellent and I wish I had one, got to make do with a shed which I’m thinking of knocking down and doubling in size!)

I think it wold matter more if so many tools weren't battery then I'd probably want more above bench.

There are 4 doubles exposed on the side walls and 2 doubles and a spare fused spur exposed on the front wall.

Smaller portable mains tools, like the Domino cutter, connect up to the shop vac so again, don't need a socket.

But each to their own, I just prefer the cleaner look.

Taking our puppy for her 2nd vaccination and getting a clean bill of health. Not long to go now before venturing out into the wider world outside of our garden.

8 of us heading to London tomorrow. Lunch at Hawksmoor, followed by drinks, Ronnie Scotts at 5ish, followed by more drinks and more food somewhere

When the early morning sun hits our sycamore at this time of year, showing off its autumn colours, while the rest of the garden is still in shade...



.. even though its the 36th autumn we've seen this here.

This could equally go in Laughter the best medicine, but it really brightened my day; Just hope the writers, if it wasn't these two, get equal credit.

My new obsession (again)! Got "promoted" from Novice to Intermediate sculler yesterday. That despite taking a swim during Saturday's session (I blame the wind)! Took a few attempts to nail the landings which are so tricky - my brain was all out of juice by the end of the session!!

Saw Chris McCausland on tour earlier this year and he was really funny. Took the mickey out of his sight loss but not in a self pitying way and also made you think about how it would be to lose your sight

If it is that much of a problem that it ejects you from the boat, you could try these a few hours before training

Arrived down at princes for 2 days of golf. Weather looked awful but latest forecast is clear when we tee off and clear tomorrow

Either way it should be beautiful day of golf

Shame I've hurt my ankle but a buggy will enable me to still enjoy a beautiful course

Great to also see electric car chargers installed . Didn't bring that car as I loaded up a group of us to mean 3 in one car but options

Looks more like a Wallaby but still pretty cool...
There are quite a few wild wallabies living up near Whipsnade zoo....a family of them on the course I used to play at and several other wild families in the area.
I do miss the wallabies at Whipsnade.......

I said we'd need another one by Christmas.....how they scoffed

Something will always turn up…

Though to be honest I can‘t take pleasure from individual tragedy.

And so, and as is so often said, we must always make the best of what we have today for we cannot see round the corner of life. And as I look at what I have today I must be grateful, and daily never forget to be grateful.

No no no....
Keep your lettuce in the fridge and it lasts much, much longer than when kept in a cupboard
