the roof is on! and just in time, too, the solar people will start on monday and – if everything goes to plan – finish the following day. the somewhat unexpected if very welcome progress today was due to the favourable weather, with no wind, only a few drops of rain and overcast skies making…
i’ve had the nomad for a few years now (almost five) and it did have a bit of a life before i became its custodian. no wonder then that a few of the parts are now at the end of their useful life. time for new parts: i needed a new saddle and a new…
we have reached the milestone of ‘peak wall’, meaning 5.5 out of a maximum of 5.5. possible walls have now been constructed. to paraphrase our prime minister (who i believe holds the world record for asking the greatest number of unimaginative and unintelligent rhetorical questions during a single election campaign): how good are walls! well,…
