Ohhh Shite!

Literally!

Went for a tinkle earlier and as I flushed the loo. I know we are having high tides, but 3 miles from the sea… Went to investigate….

Lots of backed up ‘material’ in the septic tank header….after swearing and fighting with a hundred metre pipe I got it going again… It was a bugger it happened, but at least it wasn’t pissing it down!

My arms ache so I shall give building stuff a miss this evening.

A couple of people asked what was woven between the uprights…. Voila….

There was one missing so I got a quid off. I must have had it in my cupboard for over a year.

I am still toying with the idea of putting a bit of vegetation in the gap. I was actually just heading off to see what clump foliage I had knocking around.

Quite a nice view from the top of the hill. So I stopped and got a shit if it on my phone.

Who Let the Sheep Out?

Well that would be me….

So idiot boy here snapped off the middle post in the foreground and did the battle fencing… problem I have now is that three posts won’t really work the same as the rest.

Therefore I may have to lay each strand and super glue each end to the rest of the fence…either that or say sodd it and add clump foliage to the gap with the posts.

Something to ponder tomorrow.

Starting Something New…

With a couple of weeks left to go before my course I thought I had better crack on with something else.

So I got thinking about a little fenced area. I will do a couple and then a walled one. The first is a wattle one, second will be fence posts and rails and as I said some kind of walled thing.

Here is my start,  the more astute of you may be wondering why there is a ruler at one end and a bloody big weight at the other…. One word…Warping.

I actually used Copydex instead of PVA or Mod Podge. The base itself is pretty thick and it still bloody tried warping… swearing occurred.

So basically it is sitting there until tomorrow on case that helps.

#annoyed!

Anyway these are just full length at the minute.  They will be cut down to between 15 and 20mm depending on what looks right.

Had a long day of training today so not up to much this evening… actually surprised I didn’t have a little snooze.

So the weather is rolling back on with wind and rain expected. Flooding is also expected due to higher tides. A bit of an iconic photo from Last Week’s Apocalyptic rain…

Photo taken by the Peerie Shop… definitely not mine.

In case you aren’t sure, that’s inside the building!

Personal Goals

Do you set personal goals for yourself?

Well I suppose I might set daily personal goals like get into work by ‘x’ time or go shopping after work…but to be honest I don’t really.

I mean as a trainer I want people to leave feeling the 7 hours etc was worthwhile but even then it is more a work thing than a personal goal.

To be brutally honest I don’t actually know what a lifelong personal goal would look like.

I always wanted to be married with kids and achieved it on a second attempt so yeah maybe I do.

Calling this Done…

Sort of!

So I got this far. I need to add the biohazard signs etc but there is still something missing.

Dirty down rust came out and was squirted with a pipette to get it to run along the cracks. I really need to do the section next to the control panel.

I will sleep on it, but if you have any ideas then let me know.

A Bit of Colour

Although a little achy after going splat  whilst gracefully (yeah right) leaping across a flooded drainage ditch. I did manage to achieve a bit of painting…

Still a long way to go, but getting there.

Hot glue for gunky stuff coming out of the tank. Biohazard signs and at least one skeleton.

Ohhh and lots of rust and crap around the place.

A Smidge of Progress

That’s the undercoat and grey on this. Colours tomorrow methinks.

Also started trying to read rules again..

It was hard work, but after a snooze I came back to them.

I deliberately started with the Starter set as the rules are quite concise.

Chinese Botathon

Well I just wanted to give a big shout out to my Chinese Bot’s

Based on the Statistics, as expected Beijing is out in front with a massive 214 visits. These capital city bots are having a bit of a downturn as they have dropped 20.4%

Livzhou is up 60% but with only 34 visits.

However Taizhou is storming forwards with a massive 1500% increase with 16 visits… My head hurts to work out exactly how many visits they had before.*

Making a strong start is Weihai with their 1 visit. Giving them a 100% increase. Might be one to watch or have they peaked too soon.

*Please Note, I am not sure which Taizhou we are talking about here…

        Taizhou refers to two major prefecture-level cities in East China: Taizhou in Zhejiang province (a coastal port city known for manufacturing, private enterprise, and islands) and Taizhou in Jiangsu province (a historic cultural city along the Yangtze River known for traditional tea and opera).

I would be grateful if the appropriate Bot would let me know.

Tune in next Week to see who is where in the totally arbitrary list I have made.
