emmcee 1,420 Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 I've sorted the garden out, fixed the fence that had blown down in the last storm. Going to paint the kitchen next. Give the windows a good clean. If I had acted faster I'd have got materials in for building a new shed but I'll keep that on hold for now. Then I'll sort through my carp and sea fishing gear. New rigs for both etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popped down the shops for milk an bread for me and the old customers, there nearest family lives Devon way. Donned the face mask ( it’s a proper one with two filters ) and disposable gloves. Going to have a look at Highys 8 balls 😄 then a go on War Robots on the pad ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Got the JRC but grips, but for cork handles. Not a bad idea doing gutters 🤔, last time I looked when pointing front of house they looked ok, yeh there fine 😁. Think I'll just mow gardens again.
