Morning All....it's just bleurrrgh out there.

Might have to move the chocolate temperer into the drier air of the dining room. Can't make chocolate in a cold, damp kitchen - there isn't a rad in the kitchen because we used to have an anthracite boiler that acted as a rad and when took out the boiler to put gas in, clever Uncle Landlord decided we didn't need a heated kitchen. It's like an icebox out there.

Just have the backing to sew onto the bl**dy table dawdler now. Can't wait to get shot of it. I can't figure out why it's been such a job; it's just straight sewing, but I've done more unpicking than sewing. I spent most of yesterday unpicking the lining which wouldn't sit flat, then the sewing machine 'ad 'eadfit and I had to take that apart. Like I said, can't wait to get shot of it. I had so (sew) many things I wanted to make for this fair, and that runner has taken up all my time instead

Meanwhile......coffee?

Morning its wet and windy out so i'm glad we went walking yesterday

Channel 4 are looking for a presenter who is passionate about new ways of living, has a warm charismatic character, loves meeting new people and above all has the skills to build, fix or construct almost anything a new home might need! Or is not afraid to give it a go!


Thought I'd post this here in case anyone here is more suitable than I am (probably all of you actually)

I'd tell them to buy at tent and a hammock then they'd be sorted but it would be a very short program then.

Morning all. The thermometer says it got down to -1 last night, but it's obviously warmed up a bit. No frost to be seen.

Red sunrise this morning, but it's gone grey and damp now

Not if you make the tent out of thistle down spun into a cotton like material (Having made a spinning wheel) and waterproof it with lanolin from the sheep you will be shearing using a sharp flint. The hammock could be constucted (over several months) by being made of clay fired in a kiln (kiln making another 6 episodes) like a bath shape.

Morning all I see the nutters have started early today

[bearded bloke]

The very first thing to make before starting any structure is .............................












































a cup of tea

[veggiechicken]

Morning BB - a big strong black coffee gets my mind working overtime - does nothing for my practical skills though
I thought you might be up for that presenter job - or RT, BM, AP, Snadger, Mikey, Potty..........most of you actually

No Ta VC , I've hard enough time keeping me fingers attached dealing with self employment, three kids and a wife..........


Saying that poor youngest was in hospital last night for four rounds of the nebuliser and steroids for a chest infection.... So sleep seems to be my main need after families health that is ....

[Tripmeup]

Afternoon all...........

[bearded bloke]

Caaaaaaaaaaaaaakes for RT's little one .............

[veggiechicken]

Nice cakes BB but RT never mentioned his "little one" just his "youngest".

[bearded bloke]

due to my youthful innocence I fail to understand the jest of your inference VC

[bearded bloke]

Anyhoo,pastie eaten & tea drunk,I best get back to the hedge cutting while the weather still permits

[veggiechicken]

due to my youthful innocence I fail to understand the jest of your inference VC

I'm sure no child of RT's can be described as "little" BB
