the shelves are up!
It is Saturday and I do have a few jobs on the list. I have already, with almost uneasy haste, glued the two end bits of velcro back onto the wooden pelmet of the kitchen blind. It’ll go back on when the glue is set. It’s quite an old tube of glue so there is a possibility I guess that it won’t set. There is also a chance that I read the instructions wrongly – glue isn’t just glue these days much in the same way that a TV isn’t just a TV.
I have also already refilled the by now nearly empty bird feeders. One of them was I’m sure emptied by squirrels but I did see some birds at it too so on the basis that they do get some benefit I don’t mind putting out the nuts.
All this is before 10am on a Saturday morning!
The jobs list does contain some long standing items, one of which could very well get done today. This is the replacement of the bulbs in the two front floodlights. I can do this now because I purchased some new tall step ladders. These are currently jobs list virgins but it’s a state that will not continue beyond this morning:)
I may try and get a walk in this afternoon although it wouldn’t do any harm to rest the body following the efforts of Mobile World Congress and there are after all two rugby matches on today.

Replaced the bulbs in the floodlights. I think I have to wait until night-time to see if they work because the motion sensor is also light sensitive. If it still doesn’t work it can only be the fuse or the actual detector. I don’t think it’s the fuse because that fuse also services two sockets in Hannah’s bedroom and they apparently work ok. It will be a real pain in the neck if I have to replace the detector.
I the meantime I’ve tidied up the bench and have even stuck some shelves up in the garage to take the odds and sods. I recently bought some plastic “pods” from JTF which are a little on the small side but will do. It’s to put things like electrical tape, tape measures and other miscellaneous bits of useful stuff that you need to have to hand. Reused a shelving unit for the shelves. Retrieved it from the woodpile and cut it down a little. Works fine and was less effort than making new shelves.

Been out to pay the deposit at the Bronze Pig for the LONAP board dinner on 17th March. They wanted a tenner a head. Ok. Freezing out so we have the heating on all day. Now watching the Italy v Scotland match on the box. It’s only of marginal interest so writing this at the same time. The biggie is England v Ireland at 16.50.
