Things I learned in the last year (-3 days)


After driving the N3 during rush hour a few times a week
In which we discuss gore, foul language, misleading summaries, Terry Pratchett, death and how many people read this blog.

B**** please!

I realised if I try do this in a well-considered and thought out approach, it ain't happening. So, without further ado I couldn't resist making a photo-response to this post [sorry :( I have come close a few times doing exactly that]

What I learned: if you think to yourself " This is stupid and going to end badly" you probably shouldn't do it. Don't mess with power tools. In thise case a bench saw. While making a wooden 'treasure box' for a friend, more on that when I actually get around to finishing it.


Those are little slivers of fingernail on my shirt :)

What I learned today: I need to learn 'formatting'.
