Oh God it's 4am on Saturday and I'm at the ferry terminal and cold. If I hadn't actually been told that they need me at work today I would've stayed in my nice warm bed because stuff this malarkey.

I doubt I'll be rising too early tomorrow morning. In fact a bottle of rum this afternoon might be in order to drown my sorrows. Poor me right.......right !?

Yeah bugger that. I was awake at 4 but I didn’t get out.

Have a good day

Thanks. You too. I normally am glued to my bed at the weekends in the mornings. ( Urm, not in a gooey kind of way..... )

Hard not to be in these temps

I bought a fire pit from the big green shed yesterday and gave it a burl last night. Very happy, but I need to level it up today

Aaaah awesome. I'm grabbing a couple of offcuts of pipe today that will work as fire pits. Enjoy it, nothing quite like fire.

Edit. There's three. 2 are 450 mm diameter and 150 mm deep. One is 500 diameter and about 280 mm deep. All about 10mm thick. Should work a treat. I'll give at least one away, maybe two. Bit of a chore to get them back to the island but worth it.

Jesus they’re decent pipes. They’ll make great fire pits

Yeah I didn’t want to pay the money, it wasn’t cheap but it’s not bad

I’ll not only get rid of the remnants of the old fence but have my own charcoal for gardening as well

They're pretty hefty pipes mate. They're pretty damn long too when they come in. They deal in larger diameters too. Some pipes have about 50mm thickness. It's serious stuff for sure.

I'm a sparky by trade so it's all been new to me and a great learning curve.

Got some mowing done today... By which I mean I sat and watched this bad boy drive around for a bit 😎

... Though I had to clean it out first which took a couple of hours so not entirely sure I'm saving any time or energy so far.

With a yard that size, you might need an army of mower bots.

[–] trk@aussie.zone 0 points 1 month ago

This one is supposed(!) to do the whole yard. Hasn't managed it yet. Classic advertising.
