  @kim@fedi.social Yes, noise and light are so much easier to shut out than smells. Once the smell is there, there is little to be done to make it go away, or to 'unsmell' it. @suearcher@toot.wales @Shelly@beige.party @NatalyaD@disabled.social

  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 t...

  Any Fairphone (or other non Android/iOS phone) users out there who also use Starling Bank and Halifax/Lloyds Bank? Which phone and OS are you using, please? I want to switch my phone away from Android but still need to access banking for me and Mum. Thank you. Edit because some text got missed off. #FairPhone #StarlingBank

  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! #BoreDaBy...

  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

  Today I checked on the cars, Scout's battery is still on charge. Took Sue to the bank, To pay in a cheque. Then went to B&Q, Recycling some fluorescent tubes. Had a talk with Mum, Not sure I am any the wiser. She did phone Taiwan though, And had a chat with her kid sister. Went to do caretaking, And had a call from my manager. "Can you spare 5 minutes for a chat?" he says, 20 minutes later he still hasn't drawn breath! I have checked my dark suit, And made sure I have a bla...

  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...

  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

• Post #4269872

  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

  @kim@fedi.social @suearcher@toot.wales @Florapis@toot.wales That is probably far more true than people want to admit.

  Today I was very tired, Having slept little due to bad dreams. I did the bins, And then met Sue at work. I did the bins there, And cleaned the church. We went to Asda, To get a few more groceries. I fell asleep after lunch, Not enough sleep to help. I did the caretaking, And took bins out there as well. Spent a little time with Mum, And then had a nice dinner with Sue. Watched an episode of Vera, As videos not playing online. Very tired now. So going to bed. #NosDa #NightAll

  Bore Da Bydoedd! Good Morning Worlds! Bin day today: Pink - food and garden waste. Brown - bottles, cans, and plastic food tubs. Woke up at 3am from a bad dream, and managed to chuck my earbuds off the bed. Then woke at 4:30am from a bad dream, and ended up distracting myself with a video. I did sleep for a further hour but so exhausted and lethargic. I will go to meet Sue at work in a little while, and then I need to do a little welding on the trailer. Unless I fall asleep somewhere. #BoreDa...

  @Florapis@toot.wales @suearcher@toot.wales @Shelly@beige.party I like that it says it is 'Real fruit, No sugar, Single ingredient'. The flavour is just so intense!

  I think, when the human lineage evolved front facing predator eyes, many of them forgot the ability to swivel their heads, to see and take in the world around them, to see what others were doing, to see how their actions affected those around them.... This toot is about people in supermarket aisles, but also about people in the wider world.

  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

• Post #4147072

  Today I had a bit of a lie in, And then got up ready to do stuff. We made some plans for next weekend, And I got on with working on the trailer. Cut up some steel fencing panels, And then some OSB. Made a new floor section, That fills the trailer extension. Did caretaking, And sorted stuff for PAT testing. Had a lazy evening, We definitely needed the rest. Speaking of which, Time for bed. #NosDa #NightAll

  Today we had eggs from breakfast, As is tradition. Then we took Scout out, Towing a loaded trailer. We drove through the rain, And arrived at Machynlleth. We off loaded timber and a dozen Acrow props, And a number of crates. We had a simple lunch, And headed home. We stopped at the Welshpool and Llanfair Light railway, For tea and cake. Then continued home, And I struggled to reverse the trailer. I think I was too tired, And I had cramp in my leg. Watched a few videos, And a bit of TV. But very...

  @suearcher@toot.wales @Steffi@toot.wales Thank you for butting in, Sue, I have had my eye off the ball, looking at properties again.

• Post #4106047

  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

  Today we went to the community workshop, And I built a simple free standing bookshelf. Sue sorted and placed craft and woodwork books on it, It is the Maker of Things Library. In the afternoon I took Mum to her appointment, And sent some emails. Did caretaking, And took the bins back in at work. Started loading Acrow props into the trailer, We'll move them into storage on Sunday. Tried to join in with MakersHour, But not enough spoons left after hosting. Tired now, So off to bed. #NosDa #Ni...

  I wonder when UK 13 Amp power plugs changed from 'three pin plugs' to 'three prong plugs'? 🤔

• Post #4029828

  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

  Today I laundered the bedding, And also did the bins. Then I met Sue at work, And did the bins there too. Remade the bed, And made plans for the weekend. DPD delivered a motor, So I repaired the Henry for the Church. Loaded the 'Maker Of Things' library books into the car, They will go to the Community Workshop tomorrow. Did caretaking, And yet more bins. Rested a bit in the evening, And watched another episode of Vera. Busy day tomorrow, So off to bed. #NosDa #NightAll

  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 #GoodMorning...

  Today we took Mum shopping, She didn't buy much but we did. Then I drove into Manchester, And attended a long work meeting. Eventually got home, And found Sue had been baking. 😋 Fell asleep on the sofa, But woke to do caretaking. Chatted with Mum for a bit, But very tired. Did laundry, And watched a bit of TV. Heading off to bed now, Before I fall asleep again. #NosDa #NightAll
