    Easier walk today, only 8 ish miles. Think I’m going to lose a toenail. Crag rat leaves tomorrow (sob). 
    I’m hoping to build some shelves to go in the new shed. I can move my things out of the man cave (garage) and I have half of the shed to be my woman cave!

    DS2 is making noises about coming up when he’s next onshore in November. I think he’s going to organise the architect for a site meeting. 
    My nephew and his wife had a baby girl on the 14th. He phoned to say they’d got the baby blanket I crocheted for them.
