Judging by the number of people queuing to chat to Joe Payne afterwards, I think they'll do alright but from what I gather there are some that are not so keen with the new, more vocal direction and prefer the old, more instrumental band. This is as close as we got backstage - ![]() |

I'd like to offer last month's edition of Prog and a mouldy Mars bar to anyone who adds Phil Collins to the Archives.

Oh dear. I think that will require more than a lick of paint to drag it back from the brink - one good gust of wind and it'll be firewood.
The summerhouse at Darq Towers (mentioned a few pages back) is progressing slowly: ![]() Since that photo was taken I've installed solar panels and the 12V car battery salvaged from my old Hynudai V6 coupe to power the LED lighting and invested in a pair of rather nice Q-Acoustics speakers (from those awfully nice people at Richer Sounds) that'll be driven from the ridiculously powerful ICE system I had in the Scirroco once Mr & Mrs Daughter have moved their

That's currently my office as my actual home-office is being used for storage - which is a damn fool idea because it gets stupidly hot and under the full glare of the sun it's impossible to see the 'puter screen.
The deck is only 4' deep but it was built to accommodate a small folding table and pair of chairs precisely for the partaking of tea or other light refreshment. The furnishing of the interior has yet to be decided but we are considering a small wood burning stove. Standard 6' fence, erected it myself after the previous one flew away in the storms last year.

It drives the neighbour's yap-dog crazy. Out of bedevilment I've moved it a few inches so it's illuminated by the solar deck-lights and I can now annoy the little sod at night too.

Debs was listening to The Archers (an everyday story of country-folk) today, which isn't something I do very often so I've no idea what's going on or who's who, when I thought I heard one of the character say "the thing is with owls, is their heads can come right off without affecting them." ... After a typical apoplectic outburst from me, Debs pointed out he actually said "elves", not "owls". Slightly embarrassed by this near-geriatric mishearing I daren't ask her what the f--- elves were doing in Ambridge.

And how can elves heads come off without it affecting them? I don't remember seeing any headless elves running around in Lord of the Rings. Or has there been an outbreak of drug-taking in Ambridge lately?

We (and by that I fear I mean "I") are in the process of refitting our kitchen, which hasn't received any attentions in the 13 years we've lived here (and not a great deal in the 100 years since the house was built by the look of it). Before I can spend hard-earned on buying all the units, worktops, lighting, flooring and brand new appliances and then set about doing all the fitting I'm legally capable of (and getting various clumsy and expensive 'professionals' in for all the bits I'm not), Debs wanted the 'cupboard-under-the-stairs' opening up so this dead-space can become a narrow little utility room/alcove. So that duly done, and the washing machine now manoeuvred out of the kitchen and into this utility-alcove, I set off to the various DIY emporiums of Winchester looking for a 1.5m length of cheap worktop that would act as a temporary work-surface that we could use while waiting for the proper solid oak worktop to be designed, cut and fitted sometime in the (near) future. Alas such things don't exist and the prospect of getting a 3m length of laminated chipboard home in my car was a non-starter, even with the roof down. So on returning home I ventured into the various sheds looking for suitable pieces of timber to bodge (I come from a long line of Essex bodgers) a stop-gap worktop out of... ![]() Obviously the groove of the tongue'n'groove door makes it unsuitable as an actual work-surface/counter-top, but as an up-cycled deep shelf for all my baking toys it's rather spiffing I think (especially against the accidentally shabby-chic wall, which will be re-plastered and re-tiled when the kitchen is refitted): ![]() Edited by Dean - August 12 2016 at 02:15 |

Nice job Dean. Now I should really do something with all those bits of wood I've got in the garage (the ones I kept because "they might come in useful one day").

Nice straight back wall, unless you scribed that board to fit so well. Straight walls always make things easier when it comes to kitchen remodels.

Gave the shed some TCL over the weekend - removing assorted children's toys, bit of old barbecue, tins of paint, flowerpots etc. Slapped a bit of paint on the hinges.
If there are any filmmakers out there looking for somewhere to file Arachnophobia 2, I have the place for you. I can save you millions on building a set.
