A bargain for sale in Southampton earlier. £4.5k for machine, grab, drill and bucket. I paid nearly double that a few years ago. I have occasionally felt the shame of overpaying but it’s been so bloody useful that I don’t care that much. Until the next time I feel sore that is.

High enough to be informal, low enough to be classy. You can’t pay to move it. Not until I get set up to take yen.

I have in the past livestreamed myself on facebook, cooking. Once, memorably, a bit pissed up, made a fish pie with some herring from the early nineties. I also air the Bathcast, which is me in the bath, talking about whatever. More fans of that than you’d think.
-
Now there’s a solution! A better solution would have been doing it when you mentioned it a couple of years ago of course but I’ve only ever done the odd hole with it. Will give you a call.
-
Done. No way to carry on though. Plus my welding is gash.

I’d use galvanised gate hardware with zerofuchs rendered.

Not enough tomato but quietly impressed the meat-and-two-veg caterees. Have made pasta but only beginner shape (roll and cut for linguine/tagliatelle type thing). If I was going to do shapes for maximum sauce area, I’d use a bit of threaded rod to roll them out. Food grade stainless obviously, unless it’s expensive, or even slightly inconvenient.
-
peds, you beauty. This still delivers.
-
It’s pissing down now in fairness. When I have no more holes to drill.
-
The ground here has been outrageous. Baked clay with occasional flint and tree root. I rattled a timber screw into topsoil the other day and had to rattle it back out. Couldn’t move it with fingers.

Was thinking of bucket teeth but edge is neater. Good old doobin. Mark. Remind us of your appraisal of your own machine (in)sensitivity.

Mecho and Sailor getting on well enough to ride in the boot together. Tensions escalate if a corner is taken too fast and they get thrown into each other. Can’t work out whose territory it is more. Israeli kind of problem.

This week I have been mainly drilling holes. Anyone know where I can get replacement teeth for the auger (better photo to follow)? Cornwall no help. Selection of local dealers just said good luck mate.

Study Finds Last Year's Hatebreed, Slipknot, and Gojira Tours Were Terrible for the Environment | MetalSucks WWW.METALSUCKS.NET Turns out touring is bad for the planet. Though according to this, a lesser offender. Who knows. Lies, damned lies and statistics.

Meanwhile Rammstein are still making wars look eco friendly.

Foreign bastards. Probably don’t even speak English.

On dogs accepting incoming dogs, I took Sailor and Mecho for a walk with some friends last night. Met a woman with a ridgeback and some small ish Romanian mongrel. The small one called out Sailor with some kebab shop style puffery. The ridgeback jumped in out of obligation. Common thing the woman said. Small one starts scraps only because it has a big mate. Anyway, Mecho, on the lead with my mate a hundred feet away was apparently straining to get into it. A bit of esprit de corps. Pleasing.
-
Seemed obvious. I hope your mate’s kids have somewhere to go too? Poor bastards.

I have many times thought about making up a few sets of WILDLY different cards and handing out the least appropriate one at any given juncture. “Yeah. Sure. Short back and sides, clippings on the bonfire. £100. Call when it needs it. Yeah. It’s the same number. The multi frequency Model 5000xXx with pumped-recirculation sump was my best seller for ages but it’s been superseded by the pneumatic gear now. Only have an ex-demonstrator left.”
-
My business cards are my name and my mobile number in Times New Roman. I carry a pen and add the pertinent detail at point of exchange. “Trees” “Stumps” ”Gutters” ”Gel nails” ”Any old iron” etc If you borrow a pen btw, give it back. Very unprofessional otherwise.

Get slurring drunk and say the French word for cherry, cerise.

Three years and three days after it first fell off, I finally finely fettled the runner with fusion and fitted fresh rollers. I’ll be anxious shutting the door for a while yet. I keep flinching like a wife with one black eye already, expecting it to fall off again.

Three feet! Fuxking christ. The kickoffs that would have catalysed here a fortnight ago... Won’t rush to try it now either. Condolences btw. I hope he died a hero’s death.
