I remember when I was a skint student I'd have jumped at the chance of kit like this. What should I do wit...

I read that people on the north African coast have been using huge cheap nets to catch migrating birds.

Our Allotment Association had to switch to card as we bank at Barclays and our branch has shut. SumUp was on offer at Toolstation before Christmas at 30% discount so £70 for the tech. Their charges are stated on their website as: "A standard fee of 1.69% per transaction applies for all our card...

Spent the long weekend mostly reroofing a 12'x8' pent roof shed tall front. Complicated by the fact I extended it on the site, down-slope, with the tall bit of roof abutting the right side. Where I had doubled up 3/4" plywood header board with an aluminium panel holding the edge of the Onduline...

After rotavating I had a few hours fun with robins, one was investigating the rotovated soil and carrying off beakfulls of wrigglies to a nest somewhere. Then another turned up and a fight ensued on top of next doors salad/cabbage tall netting cage, both zoomed off. The original (I think) resumed ac...

Magazine doesn't see the need for more moderators with the volume of activity on here. If you can point out any more of his posts, which the "Ban Hammer" tool was supposed to remove I can individually delete them. But unless I peruse every thread in past months I'm unable to find them as h...

OH, Lizzie was always up for a giggle, especially with "The Grock in the Frock"!

Hmmm the joys of differential pricing £11.99 up here

Sadly no, my older dog is not as mobile as he used to be.

Thought we'd have a sodden match today as I was preparing the container bar. Dark slate clouds to our west, a flurry of hail and a strong shower. All changed by kickoff time, bright sunshine with lighter coloured clouds. A good crowd and thankfully after being thrashed away last week, a convincing w...

Brief shower this morning, determinably overcast. Yesterdays success was second coat of barn paint on concrete shed door and frame, made a chain of two padlocks and the bits on the door & frame to leave it secure but no painted bits touching each other. Walked the dogs and when we got back it wa...
