Well I logged on here this morning for a little while.
As I looked at the great day outside I decided to logoff and go and make sawdust.
This is a woodie forum so why haven't some you spent a nice day making sawdust??

Apart from that, sat on the beach for coffee early, read a book on photoshop, bought some stuff for lunch, washed both the cars (first time in ages), sat in front of tele reading the paper, another book, and doing the annual sharpening thing..gave up after one plane blade, did a spot of riverbank amelioration, played some music, logged on here a couple of times, now I'm going to tidy up the shed so next weekend I can do stuff!!
(Watched about 2/3 of the race, but missed the finish!)
First time I can remember just vegging for a whole day this year!.
Cheers,

Sadly the garden needs so much work that I spent the whole weekend moving pavers, digging a trench, moving soil, mixing concrete and laying edging for a garden bed. I enjoy gardening and landscaping but damn it's hard work. I'm a broken man. Sitting in front of a computer for 8-10 hours a day for a living does nothing for getting you fit to do shovelling etc.
I should of had Ozwinner over to do the work for me. He's getting them poofy junkyard hands and probably needs to toughen them up a bit.
Next weekend, I'll finish the edging and then lay some pavers for a garden shed. I'm going to build the shed out of wood, with a high pitched roof and weather boards. At least it'll involve cutting bits of wood up.

I can just see you sitting on the beach in your boxers sipping a latte. :eek: :DQuote:

Finished off setting up the treated pine sleepers for the vegy patch. Now need to cart the left over dirt from the tank site and put in vegy patch. Chased out a stray calf which was trampling the garden. The people who claimed the animal were not nice and belted the crap out of a very tired and scared young animal. Robby with the bobcat told me saw five guys around a ute loading the beast on and it appeared dead. Very sad when people have no feeling for stock.
Its surpiseing how quickly you turn into a poof.Quote:

So today I drove to Rochester ( 1.5 hours each way ) to check out a clearing sale.
I was there for 5 minutes, what a waste of time, and drove back to work. :(
Such is life. :D

spent part of the morning potting up my haul from my morning walk ... all those lovely plants hanging enticingly through people's fences and over their walls into the public domain.
Local bye-laws say that you can't have stuff overhanging the footpath.
Technically I understand that the bits are still the householder's and after doing my civic duty and cutting them off I'm supposed to throw them back over their fence but so far no irate householder has challenged me as the snippings accidentally drop into the plastic bag that happened to be under them :)
I was spoilt.
Spent the whole weekend at Woodturn 2004. Great demos from great turners, some chat, some ideas from the Instant Gallery---- good value.
The downside is I'll be in the garden next weekend :mad: :mad:
We took delivery of our new camper trailer - had 3 other customers come to our place to collect thiers, so Sat. was very festive. The bloke who makes them delivered it with a mate, and we invited them back for lunch on Sunday. Very pleasant conversation and several bots of yummy wine enjoyed by all. Tried out my new mujinfang smoother too - ripper.

Quite a variety of excuses there, gardening seems to be the main one though. Bring back the italian lawn I say.
I spent the day trying to get some sleep routines going for 5 week old baby, but I 've crapped on about that enough.
There does seem to be a three way paradox going on here though. I've hardely been in the shed in the last 5 weeks, and when I did manage it, copped it from SWMBO, yet in that time she's asked for 4 or 5 new projects!
Sheesh!
Saturday and Sunday morning in the shed french polishing and in the afternoon at some rellies for a bbq. Very relaxing weekend.
Peter.
gardening. good hard yakka. enjoyed myself - then jumped in the pool with the missus.
