Kev has sorted me out Stanley, not took long, my marking up and Kevs slicing and its bob on for a fit apart from about an 1/8th of an inch on the top rail, I can cut that with my tenon saw. Hung it on two screws to check the fit as it has to come off again for the other bits of timber for the latch...

Glad you got sorted Ian. You were lucky with the cover on the gazebo Kev. I went looking for the etymology of 'gazebo' and didn't really get any joy but I tripped over this factoid. "The earliest known gazebos were in Egyptian gardens approximately 5,000 years ago, found in a garden plan which...

Doc is still posting on Facebook from Antigua.

I'm struggling to imagine when I would find that app useful if they were mine. :biggrin2: Other than if I actually lost them somewhere (it shows the last location if the battery goes flat or they are turned off) it's probably something I wouldn't use either. I was just highlighting the technology i...

Russia to hold 'Nuclear drills'. Sabre rattling? The BBC making a story out of 'gossip'? Are we back to the (not so) cold war?

We were lucky with the thunderstorms, Knaresborough and Harrogate not so...

The technology packed into my hearing aids, the app knows where they are

I could be tempting fate here but I've put the canvas top on the gazebo and we're enjoying an alfresco brew

Good stuff

Aye

Bob down here if it fits in your car, 2 minute job

A yellow warning for thunderstorms is in place until 9pm today, I hope mine and Ian's painting jobs have dried before it decides to rain.

It must be a gate repairing type of day, I replaced a bit of rotten timber and painted the gates at Chez Kev this morning. The paint should be dry before the forecast rain and thunderstorms.

The sun has put in an appearance in Foulridge

Lovely pic

A flooded house is not nice, you have my sympathy Cathy.

A satirical Facebook page about Scotland. It's been causing quite a stir online, one 'story', claiming that the London Eye was being dismantled and moved to Loch Lomond, caused that much confusion amongst Facebook users that Meta had it tagged as false news (of course it's fake :biggrin2:). I though...

He has sent me pictures of his endeavours today, he's doing well

I'm with Tizer on that. The Magdeburg experiment?

They do indeed, this was something youngest offspring hadn't done before. He still has to fit a scotia around the perimeter.

Redeye was a good watch

Been to youngest offspring's to lay a laminate floor in the lounge/diner and hallway. What with moving furniture and removing the old carpet the whole job took around 5 hours. Need a brew now :biggrin2: IMG_20240503_162001.jpg IMG_20240503_162707.jpg IMG_20240503_173349.jpg IMG_20240503_162026.jpg
