That can happen with sand dust from the Sahara as it can travel in the upper air flows and then back again. Just like someone when they're drunk!

I think a combination of decking and hard paving only works if it is at different levels. That is decking going down, onto hard paving.

You must use genuine Gripfill, none of this silly stuff like Nonails, if it dont smell it wont work.

Out here in the orchards, we had a lovely young lady come to the gates late yesterday afternoon. Good job we were sitting out having a drink so we saw her. In pigeon Portuguese and pigeon English all was sorted. We got our sealed letter and an English version of directions. We can do it...

You'll never get any intruders with that door @Black Dog !In my shelter there's another door at the far end which goes out to the little back road, but there's no opening in it for Bella. The ground slopes a bit and there's a gap at the bottom of the door, and she used to be able to crawl...

My days of that are over, sadly - the joys of living with disability.

Hope you have a fabulous day @DMM .x

I'm planning on some scaffold board shelves for the office. I'm looking at a dark wood finish and wondering if anyone has taken on this sort of project and can recommend some stains / finishing products.

Nah, I reckon it was much simpler than that - old car, old battery and it stood quite a lot over the course of the past year due to 'Rona. I think him using the battery for the radio simply tipped it over the edge from being able to turn the engine over to not being able to turn it at all. He...

Everything carries cookies now @JWK but I didn't notice anything about notifications. My son sent me this link from America. He wouldn't have done that if he thought anything other than what 'big brother' already knows would be disclosed. However, I think the link is less worrying than the...

I too missed the post and DO hope you had a wonderful birthday @JJ28 !

Happy Easter, All! Nick

Although I'm not disputing any scientific tests (if there are any that have been tried) there is still the Placebo Effect. Apparently, when placebos are given as part of a trial there seems to be an efficacy rate of between 30%-60%. Not to be sneezed at!

@Vince Sorry to hear about the heart scare and I hope you can get the right treatment/medication to allow you to resume some form of normality.
