Definitely a two-day mantask.

I want to build a window-seat but there are some small cables in the way. 
Particularly one that powers the shower!

New T-shirt time!

When the weather was nice at the weekend I had this for breakfast! It was a superb idea, clotted cream, black-cherry jam and a cup of tea.

Brilliant. Very pleased with myself.

Well, after chopping down that tree in an hour it took three hours to did the stump up. Bloody hell.

I ended up hand-sawing through five HUUUGE roots, then putting a small trolley-jack underneath it to jack the big bastard out!

I figured if my little car jack can lift a 2.5T car up on two wheels.. it can tear this treestump out of the ground. I was right, it came out no danger.

MAAAN TAAAASK

Just overheard at work. This is the sort of to-the-point comms sadly lacking most of the time.

Just say what you mean.

Only the other day a man knocked on the door and when I answered he asked “Is your mum or dad in”.

Despite this, look what those arseholes at Facebook are targeting me in their ad-network: Hairloss and “women seeking older men”, the bastards.

Bare fucking cheek. I’m thirty two!

It’s no wonder I only log in twice a month.

More mantasks tonight! Replacement of tensioner, idle pulley and belt on my car. It has been whining.

I checked the tensioner about 700 miles ago and thought “sounds a bit ropey but it’ll be ok for a bit”. When I removed it tonight it sounded twice as bad.

Like an old skateboard wheel :(

Anyway, will whizz round the block later and see if my whine is gone.
