Look at those lines...

Lego!

I am now the proud owner of a fine cutting machine. The box wasn't an issue, nothing that a good kick couldn't sort anyway. Alex finally relented and helped me with the handles, which was very nice of him, particularly as he was in mid gate re-hang at the time.

Man does drilling

 

The highlight of the day was the lines, and what splendid lines the Bosch Rotak 34 Ergoflex Electric Rotary Lawnmower creates, most satisfying... I am sure you agree that the 'before' and 'after' shots clearly show that this beast can eat grass.  

Before...

...after

 The next electrical purchase is a shower. I am going to have to ask whether this will also fall into the soft furnishings category...

 

Hibernation

So, the bike has been put away for the winter. This happened a couple of weeks ago much to Alex's despair. It is currently wrapped up in Mumbo's garage being kept company by Pop's collection. 

He started looking for a 'nail', this is apparently the technical term for a motorcycle that can be abused in the winter months. Talk of that stopped when I started spending money on oversized canvas prints; I don't think that we have a wall large enough for the latest addition!

I still haven't been able to put my new 'lid' to the test, or my gloves. I am starting to suspect that Alex likes to have the bike to himself, last time I suggested we went for a ride he turned to me and said, in a rather matter of fact way, "I'll have to get that suspension sorted then!"
 

The last outing

Designing the Blog

I could spend hours playing with the design button on here. It does start my OCD off though so maybe I should go and make a brew before I start licking the screen. Got a nice bit of willow out back, might go and weave something too...

Weather

I can't decide whether it is the weather that is making me feel like I want to do nothing but watch the Thunderbirds film that adorns the TV right now, or whether it is simply that I can no longer take my ale. This is not a good thing due to the fact that on Friday we head to Thailand for a couple of weeks with the Doctor. I am not relishing the thought of Chang-overs, me thinks that I need to get some practice in!

No Metal Allowed

Imagine my surprise when I read that I am to be without metal. Luckily I have some casual slacks that I purchased to jump out of a plane, I am assuming that my extensive CD collection can remain untouched?

That Floating Head Feeling

Tomorrow I am going for a brain scan. They intend to put me in a tunnel and fire non-ionising radiation at my skull. I am not really looking forward to it. The reason for this... my head feels like it wants to float away, even without stimulants. I hope that I didn't pick up a parasitic worm on my travels. 

"Patience young grasshopper"

If I was a grasshopper, I could have been infected by a hairworm. Scientists say hairworms, which live inside grasshoppers, pump the insects with a cocktail of chemicals that makes them commit suicide by leaping into water. 

However, I am not a grasshopper, nor am I a Shaolin Monk.

Blogging Success?

I have been added to a Google Reader account. I do not know what this is, have I made it into the 'big league'?

Yet more research required...
