Bore da bydoedd! Good morning worlds! We are taking Mum shopping this morning. Later I need to plan the logistics of moving some stuff over to Machynlleth. I am feeling tired and grouchy because next doors kids decided that it was ok to be screaming, shouting, and kicking a ball outside last night from 10:30pm to some time after midnight! I did eventually fall asleep but was woken by my half brother messaging me from Australia, pinging my phone at 1:30am! He has been muted! He is also one of those people who can't send one longer message, but each sentence is a new message, as is each photo. Ping! Ping! Ping! Ping! Ping! FFS! #BoreDaBydoedd #GoodMorningWorlds!

Bore da bydoedd! Good morning worlds! We are off to Machynlleth this morning with another trailer load. We have added a shipping container to our storage, so we can start moving the random stuff that doesn't need to be climate controlled. We'll pick up the keys for it today. As it is a Monday, we can have fish and chips for lunch. I still have work this afternoon so it will need to be a fairly quick turn around. We then have a neighbour's cat and fish to feed this week! #BoreDaBydoedd #GoodMorningWorlds

Bore da bydoedd! Good morning worlds! The plan today is to start loading the trailer. It will be a huge shower tray (in case we need it for Mum in the next house), some doors I want to keep, and workshop materials. Other stuff can be packed into Scout, too. I will also look at doing an axle swap/upgrade on the trailer in the future, so I think a bit of measuring and designing might be needed. #BoreDaBydoedd #GoodMorningWorlds

Bore da bydoedd! Good morning worlds! We are running away today, for a day or normality. We are going to the Astle Park Steam Rally. I am wondering if I should take a sack barrow for autojumble purchases.... We are planning on setting up camp beside the arena and waiting for the vehicles to come to us, so food and drinks to be prepared this morning. #BoreDaBydoedd #GoodMorningWorlds

Bore da bydoedd! Good morning worlds! We are taking Mum shopping this morning, and then we are heading south, to Winchester, via motorway charging points. I am leaving my laptop behind. #BoreDaBydoedd #GoodMorningWorlds

Bore da bydoedd! Good morning worlds! I am kinda rested, after yesterday, after the whole weekend. Someone was having a fireworks party last night when I went to bed. 🤦‍♀️ Today I will not do too much. Both cars have been battery charging overnight so I will check on them, I am fearing Scout will need a new AGM (stop start) battery soon. They are silly amounts of money! My fault for not thinking to keep the battery trickle charged while we have been driving Midge about so much. I am also going to check on Mum more frequently, and also have a talk with her to see what her thoughts are if her health gets worse while we are planning to move house. I know what she will suggest, but I need to work with realistic options. #BoreDaBydoedd #GoodMorningWorlds

Bore da bydoedd! Good morning worlds! We are up early again, though not as early as yesterday. We are having eggs for breakfast, and then we'll head off to Machynlleth, with Scout and the trailer, to put more stuff into storage. We'll be back this evening. #BoreDaBydoedd #GoodMorningWorlds

Bore da bydoedd! Good morning worlds! I overslept a bit. That is a good thing, as I also slept all night. I am off to meet Sue at work in a bit. Afterwards we'll start putting stuff into Midge to take to the car boot sale tomorrow morning. I mustn't forget to fit the roof rack and strap on the folding table. Then there is work at the Meeting House to do before I can call it a day for Friday. I think I am tired already! #BoreDaBydoedd #GoodMorningWorlds

Bore Da Bydoedd! Good Morning Worlds! We are taking Mum shopping this morning, then I am carrying on with the trailer work. I have a front marker light not working, and I need to replace the tailgate cable stay hooks. I could do with an axle swap, but it needs a major modification to fit. I might just save the new axle for a new trailer build in the future. #BoreDaBydoedd #GoodMorningWorlds

Bore Da Bydoedd! Good Morning Worlds! We are off to Wales again. The trailer is loaded up and sheeted over, and we are heading to the storage unit in Machynlleth. Strangely it is very wet outside, oh well, that will just add to the fun of the drive! We should be back by late afternoon, I expect. I am going to be tired, especially given the trip to Leicester and back we have already done this weekend. #BoreDaBydoedd #GoodMorningWorlds

RE: https://toot.wales/@Maker_of_Things/116973809282407146 Bora Da! Yay, we are back up again. I have to learn not to be so wordy on Toot.Wales. Not used to the smaller character count. #BoreDaBydoedd

Bore Da Bydoedd! Good Morning Worlds! CupOfTea.Social seems to be down. I am going to meet Sue at work in a bit, and then trailer loading. This evening we'll be heading down to Leicester to do a few more clearing chores on Saturday morning. Then we'll be back home to have dinner with Mum. On Sunday we'll do another round trip to Machynlleth. It will rain on Sunday, according to the forecast. That will make trailer towing and shifting stuff 'more fun'! #BoreDaBydoedd #GoodMorningWorlds

Bore Da Bydoedd! Good Morning Worlds! We are off to the community workshop. I am hoping to build a 'quick and dirty' oak bookshelf to hold the 'Maker of Things' library of wood crafting, and furniture design books. I have always wanted to be the sort of person who gives a library to the community. This is small, but it is a start. This afternoon I have to take Mum to an appointment. Don't forget MakersHour tonight! #BoreDaBydoedd #GoodMorningWorlds #MakersHour

Bore Da Bydoedd! Good Morning Worlds! It is bin day: Pink - food and garden waste. Blue - Paper and cardboard. I have stripped the bed and put the bedding in the washing machine. I will be going to meet Sue at work in a bit and then later I will need to start planning what we will next move to storage, and how I am building a library shelf for the community workshop. I am wondering about free standing vs wall mounted. I also want to fall asleep, for about 3 days. #BoreDaBydoedd #GoodMorningWorlds

Bore Da Bydoedd! Good Morning Worlds! We are taking Mum shopping this morning, and then I need to go in to Manchester for a work staff meeting, all day! They had better have some lunch for me this time! I am too tired to think about what else I might do later, probably planning logistics to move the next load of our stuff into storage. #BoreDaBydoedd #GoodMorningWorlds

Bore Da Bydoedd! Good Morning Worlds! We are off to Machynlleth for the day. We have Scout, the trailer, and 633kg of crated books and a few other things. They will go into storage in advance of selling up and moving to Wales. It will take all day, but I need to come back to do work this afternoon/evening. #BoreDaBydoedd #GoodMorningWorlds

Bore Da Bydoedd! Good Morning Worlds! We are going to start loading crates onto the trailer. I need to make a note of the crate weights as we go so that the trailer is balanced and stable. We also want to load up a large antique chest of drawers. We still have 5 more crates to fill and also a crate of lathe tooling, and another spare crate in the basement that could be filled. It is going to be a busy and hard day so it is good that it is cooler and cloudy at the moment. #BoreDaBydoedd #GoodMorningWorlds

Bore Da Bydoed! Good Morning Worlds! We have Mum's laundry in the machine, and have loaded up tools in the car. We are off to Levenshulme Repair Cafe this morning. I have a thing I would like someone else to repair for me, this time. It is my Elecom EX-G lefty trackball mouse. This afternoon I want to pack more books. We have 10 more Tote crates to fill to take to storage in Wales. #BoreDaBydoedd #GoodMorningWorlds #RepairCafe

Bore Da Bydoedd! Good Morning Worlds! A horrid night's sleep. The air had a bitter taste making breathing difficult. I am going to meet Sue at work in a bit. Then we have a chap coming to (hopefully) buy another load of car bootable stuff off us. Then we can take a load of E-waste to the WEEE Charity in Warrington. I am hoping that I get an email from Machine Mart saying my other tarpaulin is there too, so we can pick it up. We finish the day by cleaning the Meeting House. It hasn't had a clean for a couple of weeks. #BoreDaBydoedd #GoodMorningWorlds

Bore Da Bydoedd! Good Morning Worlds! We are going to the community workshop this morning. I am donating some timber (old oak and mahogany furniture parts) from my workshop. This afternoon I might start loading up the car with the E-Waste to take to the WEEE Charity on Friday. That will make space to get out the stuff we are selling to the chap we met at the car boot. Then it is #MakersHour tonight. I won't be taking part (again) but I will be managing the @MakersHour@cupoftea.social account. #BoreDaBydoedd #GoodMorningWorlds
