A relative of mine left their body to medical science. It was and is for anyone thinking of it a very noble thing to do.

Still noble, but most are used as material for students rather than to make advances in medical science.

I can think of no finer song about family and deaths than this one.

It's a better call for action than any bloke in a dowdy frock reading from a really old book.

I wonder how departed relatives would feel about chaos and resentments left behind.

On other subjects, why is it that when budgets are tightest one always sees most things to spend on?

Because when you have plenty-a-money you're not having to think about what you're spending/buying. You just do it without even thinking.

No, no, I just sit on it like a hen on eggs mainly, with occasional hatches of spend. ATM I'm wanting to spend all the time.


On a nother subject, we're thinking about tackling the built in cupboard in the bedroom ourselves, with the idea some one can always make nicer doors for it in the future. But if we do this it will not have the back wall stripped out and re plaster boarded / plastered with the better sound insulating plaster board. but it will give us more hanging space soon.

Decisions, decisions.

Why does a cupboard need sound insulating?

Cupboards don't, but bedrooms benefit usually . This is a shared wall between too bedrooms so usually we'd do it. But there will be a cupboard either side of this ( solid) wall eventually so maybe that's sufficient. Its pretty much sound proof anyway. IMO though, there is no such thing as too much sound proofing.

Good thing about our extension, before our room abutted the two other bedrooms with only a single brick wall on each side, now only one bedroom and the box room share a single brick wall, all the others are seperated by either corridors or cavity walls so the kids can be much more noisy without waking us up

Yo teamies!
Back from hols.

Spent some time near a lovely beach on the Baltic Sea, collected amber, spent some time inland in a countryside home (more like a cabin) with private sauna and adjoining lake:). Ate a lot, drank a lot, swam a lot, hired a boat, good times....
Almost ran over a migrant in Calais. No kidding, we drove off Eurotunnel and on a turn onto the A16 a group of them was just strolling across the slip road!
Well, okay, not really 'almost ran over', I just wanted to make it sound dramatic. I had plenty of time to brake and honk.

Glad you had a good holiday.
