Grumpily cynical political geek, apprentice carpenter, bad guitarist. Politically left of centre by some distance. Like rugby, judo, rock, atrocious puns and my cat. He/him. Late diagnosed ADHD.
Just done my first judo session for about ten years, as my kids started doing it recently and wanted to see me prove I could still have a crack too. Fair enough. The teacher got me running the warm up and I now feel like I've been run over, but in kind of a good way.

Just met this excellent cat on a job site, demanding scritches. Ear scritching delivered, 10/10, would scritch again.

My son has spent some of his birthday money on a whoopee cushion, and now I have to teach him all the English playground classic lines for letting one rip. He finds this very funny, whereas I am obviously treating it with the proper scientific detachment*.

Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hands
And grisly ghouls will take a chance
To put some cobwebs on your pants
And though the fear is on your face
Your eyes, just endless flickers
No mere mortal can resist
The cobwebbed bat-shaped knickers
The midnight hour is close at hands
And grisly ghouls will take a chance
To put some cobwebs on your pants
And though the fear is on your face
Your eyes, just endless flickers
No mere mortal can resist
The cobwebbed bat-shaped knickers
Remembering the time this sponsored advert popped up on Facebook, and at first I thought it was for Halloween knickers.

Got a new car on Friday. 1997 Opel Corsa 1.2l. It doesn't tell me when to change gear, how to park, that the engine has an unspecified problem requiring the expensive intervention of a laptop, and doesn't scold me about my seatbelt. And it has fewer than 50,000 miles on the clock.
I love it.
I love it.

Reposting with a #woodworking hashtag, because I forgot earlier. This is what happens when the previous apprentice doesn't clear out the dust collection for a couple of months.
Carpentry apprentice duties: today, a bit of light dusting.
