The Chill Out Zone

I can hardly move today - did the final bit of work on preparing the living room for plastering yesterday, which included braying ---l out of my left hand when the hammer missed the top of the bolster chisel, but worse than that, my elbow came into contact with the edge of the TV stand - at speed, when a piece of skirting board finally broke loose.
So, I've got an arm I can hardly bend, a lump the size of a golf ball on the back of my left hand, creaking knees from being on them for half of the day - basically a physical disaster area

Why Wimpey thought it was sensible 40+ years ago to affix skirting boards with Obo nails into the brickwork, I have no idea. I had to rip the wood off, and then use an angle grinder to cut the protruding head of the nail off - no way were they going to pull out.

Good morning Rodders

Please wish all our friends, in Ireland, Wales, and every one North of the border.

Please stay indoors and no need for any uncessasary journeys,
Here's hoping it blows over quite quickly.

Morning Derek - believe it or not, we've currently got blue skies, sunshine, and virtually no wind at all - the calm before the storm perhaps?

Looks like a day in the armchair is needed

I'll tell Angela you suggested it Steve - for some reason, she seems to think you're sane and sensible (I don't let her see postings on the Forum !!)

I could make all sorts of comments on that sentence - but most would be classed as crude/rude/not fit for such an inoffensive place as the LCOZ

It would be nice to think that you may get away with it Rod but I don't think you will be that lucky some how

[RPWC]

No sign of Doris here, been quiet all night. with very little wind. That was until I got up of course.
