If anyone is planning to drive to the water distribution centre at Sainsbury I suggest that you take whatever water you have to keep hydrated in the one hour traffic jam. You can't make this stuff up.

Finally found the time to make new handles for our cast iron skillets. Almost 50 years of use but showing wear and getting loose. Replacements are made from whisky barrel staves and should last another 50 years

Another pleasing single session project with a young person today. A lovely exercise in using tools and working accurately.
