It's still hot!
I have started building a potting shed (in this heat? - yes). Have watched a ton of very good videos on building outdoor rooms. So far the base is built and i have spent more on tools than materials - though I think I have every tool needed now to build this shed and also rebuild the other shed. Suggestions welcome though! I will be writing this project up at some point.
Work
Delving into some CRM and donation tools for a clients website - lot to learn before i can spec anything up.
If you want me to have a look at a project of yours, please do get in touch.
Hobbies
Progress on Whitesands Quay. Slipway former is in place and I have build the mole of the quayside wall. That's clad in Wills sheeting and half painted. I have also made a start on the main quayside wall. I need to write this up at some point!
Gaming
Not really done any since the last update - too much other things going on but am meant to be learning the rules for Stupor Mundi for a game now it is on BGA.
Always happy to play online so please do invite me for a game of something! Me on board Game Arena.
Reading
Still slowly reading Hello World by Hannah Fry. 'Still' because I fall asleep almost immediately. I used to read books avidly but not so much these days.
Ideas
About Now Ideas is an interesting site that allows searching of small sites like this that have About, Now and Ideas pages. This site now has all three!
