Good Morning Worlds!
I am awake and up early. Why? I have no idea. I could still be in bed, warm and snuggly, but no, I am up and about!
I will go and meet Sue at work in a while, and clean up the church after contractors have been in.
Later I might go and put Bugsy through the car was as he is covered in bird poop from being parked under a tree.
Then we might look at getting more scrap metal out, and into the trailer, or I might fit a new handle to a spade. I'll see what takes my fancy.
Mum reminded me that Dad died this time last year.
I reminded her that he died this time two years ago.
Time flies....
We're back from cleaning the church. The contractors had dropped loads of cable tie trimmings, screws and wall plugs, and drilling dust, on the pews, cushions, and aisles.
We shouldn't have been in due it being Good Friday, but Sue felt it was wise to do a clean anyway on TOIL, and I think it will be appreciated during services and events this weekend.
I have repaired the spade from Levenshulme Repair Cafe. The replacement ash handle arrived yesterday so I shaped and fitted the taper to the spade and put in a new rivet to hold it.
It took me about an hour and 15 to do it. I did have to remove the heat branding that was on the handle as it would make the spade look like it was all that brand. I then oiled the ash.
We have put another half tonne, or thereabouts, of steel scrap into the trailer.
Some of it is only scrap because I am not going to sell it, or finish using it in a project.
I must remember to check the tyre pressures tomorrow. Also, Bugsy still hasn't had a wash yet, the dirty stop out! 😄
We are watching the last Water Margin DVD, ep 25 and 26, tonight.
And I have 36V batteries on charge in the workshop. I must remember to check and switch off before it gets late.
