WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)

[Giles]

Took a look around Durham Cathedral and Castle, a World Heritage site, yesterday.

Comforting to know that even a few 1000 years ago, people were into Evisu.....

@Giles
So relieving that Haraki answered your request back in the days and not Hidehiko Yamane ;-)!

I just made my own perfectly functional textile deodorant from 70% ethanol and a few drops of lavender essential oil:

This stuff enables me to really put miles into a denim shirt without having to wash it too often.

@goosehd piece of mind right around the corner man

We have friends moving their boat to our Marina. I offered to make them fixed mooring warps for the pontoon.

Here's the raw materials.....Stretchy polyester braid on braid for the main warps, and 12 strand Dyneema for the short loops that go through fairleads and around the cleats on the boat. The polyester gives the warps the elasticity that is required for mooring warps, and the Dyneema does not stretch, so no annoying squeaking as the boats moves against the warps in wind/tide/chop....

@Giles Who's coming over..."that'll do"?

[Giles]

No, John and Verity have moved That'll Do to Dartmouth.

It's a couple of local friends, Charlie and Belinda, Mrs and Mrs Forsyth. Despite Belinda retiring as a Half Colonel recently, she is pretty fucking hopeless at practical shit, and Charlie, despite running a prison in Helmand (imagine that, a lady running a prison in Afghanistan, sorry that is not meant to be in the least sexist, but I know she came into the most immense amount of shit and abuse), is a bit of a space cadet too.......

drove the other way around Amsterdam this time, and stopped here.

[Giles]

I really wish that I could grab some audio. I am half a flight down in the kitchen, the females are up in the dining room. FFS, it is fucking noisy down here........

@Giles Paula / @Madame-Buttonfly looking amazing.

[goosehd]

Project is still in progress and we love what we see so far. When it’s all over, we may not need to touch the shoreline again in our lifetime. It’s coming together better than I hoped

Went for a walk today. I love it here on the island...
