Perhaps that is what TT is doing on his new website 'thenakedstationarycyclist.xxx'?

It'd probably make money too.... I bet fat birds naked on bikes would do a roaring trade.....

... room to do your jewellery and other crafts and watersports kit?

Not really, I'm a bit of a "clean freak" in that I don't like to make a place mucky in the first place, rather than spending hours on cleaning. I wanted a utility room where it could all go. But, there's a shed.

For watersports - the local club hire the equipment at a rate that makes it mad not to do that instead.... so no need for storage, but could easily fit in the shed.

I might have to swap the shed for a tardis if I keep finding things to go into it though!

You might well be right - I think of "fun" as anything I don't have to do, but want and choose to do. Making jewellery, going to the theatre, curling up with a good book, surfing on the beach...

kinky random sex doesn't usually make my shortlist (-:

I don't really enjoy shopping, I no longer enjoy theatre or live music, I don't make jewellery.

I DO like reading! but manage to fit plenty of that in:D


Those trees were nightmares. We were going to go and by a holm oak this weekend, but DH has suggested we wait till autumn now, which is right, but, so aggravating. Its mainly because we need a break from that ground!


Tomorrow is hopefully going to be less breezy. Lots of spraying to do


Also some sowing of annuals for some colour this year. Fed up of waiting for more borders I'm going half way house with some seeds.


The first roses are COVERED with buds :j:j:j:j. Very excited, very, very excited. I LOVE my roses.

Welcome to home ownership.... just as you've spent the month's money the unexpected happens.

When I lived in an old house I figured £100/month needed to be set aside for all the irritations that occurred.... but my place was crumbling... but the house had 1001 ways to require cash.

There are tiles off the roof in winter, exterior decorating every 4-5 years, shabby bits that require replacing, water leaks, unexpected blockages .... the list can be endless.

I won't be doing a 600 mile round trip to buy lamb

I remember, when we were growing up, that on a few occasions we had roast lamb instead of our usual Sunday chicken.

I don't know which bit it was, but it had a big/fat bone sticking out of one end and was sort of triangular/pyramid in shape .... difficult to remember as I wasn't taking notes.

I like the outside of meat - where it's well done.

A quick Google shows it was probably a leg.... but not as big as the 5Kg on in the photo I found! Probably half that size.

Probably a lamb shank (which is just the bottom half of the leg).

Go on, PM me.... you know I want to sit in awe of your awesomeness and 1337 skillz.

... and wish I'd thought of it first..... then realised I'd have never been able to as I'm not so awesome.

It's not ready, and the idea is basically simple and obvious.

No 1337 skills needed on this website. I've spent £15 on it so far and half a morning at most. It's just a placeholder site for stage 2 (direct sales) ... but if you own the domain you might as well put something on it to age.

It's rude not to let me into your interwebby secrets.... it's the law to.
