OMG!
Some days you receive news so surprising that you nearly fall off your chair in astonishment and it takes a little while to recover. The rumour circulating is that a fellow blogger is back after a mysterious vanishing act. If I hadn't actually seen him in the flesh in the meantime, I might have been left wondering if he had in fact achieved the seemingly insurmountable feat of the 'slowest build of a folding boat ever' without blogging about it and that he was now sailing merrily down the Amazon, discovering new worlds, new tribes, having new plants named after him, the list of his exploits seemingly endless and each more amazing than the last ..
Meanwhile, back in the real world, maybe the boat had folded on its maiden voyage without a trace of either it or its captain. Or, more realistically, that life had taken over, he'd got bored and the non-boat had been sitting forlornly neglected in his garage until 2009.
Anyway, I am very happy to be reading about his adventures again so a big round of applause for the return of the folding boat! Yaaay!

It's happening, slowly but surely.
Well, slowly anyway.
I feel a little ashamed that I know some people that have managed to practically rebuild a house in the time it's taken me to cut out, varnish and stitch together some pieces of plywood.
We're going for fitting the waterproof hinges this weekend.
You have been warned.
And so you should feel mightily ashamed of yourself. I hope you're looking sheepish knowing that whole ceilings have been ripped down, entire rooms demolished, miles of floorboards replaced and various boys-toys power tools brandished dangerously. I just hope those waterproof hinges have been fitted by the time you read this. And I want pictures as proof, grr!
