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.

@Maker_of_Things Thank you for repairing the spade. Spades are important even in the nodig garden. #nodig, #compost.
@Pollinators
I have repaired quite a few spades in my time. Mainly because it is a relatively easy repair after the first two or three, and very cost effective.
@Maker_of_Things @Pollinators wow, I'm impressed, any advice? I keep holding on to the ones I've broken but not sure how to put new handles in. Have even bought one once, but then I could not take out the broken wood bits so it's still there, never touched. Very frustrating.
@MPaola @Maker_of_Things We also have a few shovel handles to repair. Thank you for the detailed tips.
