Nothing wrong with Budgies Loz.
James Hunt had a passion for them.
For me it was getting my workshop set up here in France and when I stop properly it would be Projects of my choice at my own pace currently suspended due to being locked down here and I can't leave Laval and the house is in Ballots.

Got this to chop up :oops:

Came down earlier this week but thankfully, far enough away from the house to avoid any damage...

Lots of gardening. Next up is to get into the orchard to prune the fruit trees. Given how sunny it is, the pool might even have it’s pre-summer clean a bit earlier than usual.

Took the Ferrari for a spin and “accidentally“ found myself at No8 Wine Shop in Tarrant Hindon. Great place, and you can buy from them online to stay isolated. They have all sorts, but specialise in South African and are the sole UK importers for some.

Some folk might need to curry favour with their beloved, for instance if they bought a toy on the qt recently and need to beg buy forgiveness. Or perhaps a bit of early Christmas shopping appeals whilst time allows.

They could spend a little time selecting a trinket or two from the catalogue below to placate said loved one ;):


It just came though via email, and luckily my beloved hasn't seen it yet.

I could do with a year of lockdown and I might be able to realise half my project plans! I could work full time for a year I reckon and just about get it all done.

Trouble is I don't see the workload easing but an additional resource is incoming so this should ease thing.

We shall see how it all goes but protecting and growing the business will be primary. I see lots of opportunities arising over the next year and onwards.

Sod that. I've been to cleanyourcar.co.uk and bought a party-pack of edgeless microfibre towels, some Autoglym Car Bodywork shampoo and 5 litres of Bilt Hamber Auto Foam.

She'll love it!

Blox - you'll have a great time carving that tree. It looks like a perfect opportunity to invest in some loud and petrol-powered tools.

Yup, I agree with that, Dean. This period is the perfect opportunity for fortifying work and driving more value into what we do and how we do it. Not quite a chance to sit back reflect, but to capitalise on what could be a quiet period if we don't make **** sure it isn't.

Scheming and planning all available options Phil ;) Just perhaps a couple of bent con rods may just have bought me some extra time to come up with something really good that just about anything that ve done will be forgiven :dance2:

I was toying with the idea of buying an air rifle. I used to enjoy shooting, and a double length garage is OK. Of course there's the additional upside that when society does collapse, I can hunt rabbits.
