There's not much to laugh about these days but this made me chuckle. Thanks Private Eye.

Two dogs helping with some woodwork in a shed

Dry fit of new rudder and tiller for Daffi, my Norwegian Peanut.

Daffi has a new transom. I think Jan is a bit jealous. But Edward is clearly the boyfriend.

“That was a Pity Political Broadcast on behalf of some whiny bitch.”

A bit of respite. A cup of tea in a shed.

We found a Parallel Universe portal in Porto.

A Shed in the sunshine. My happy place.

I do like a bonfire. This one was a blast.

Some sheds, living their best lives.

Here's me in my allegorical workshop.

BBC News - Israel intercepts Gaza flotilla near Crete and detains 175 activists www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Why is Israel allowed to do this? What is the point in international law if some are able to ignore it without consequences?

A fine bit of architecture on Lizard Island 2025.

My workshop has some squatters. They are, of course, most welcome. Though they have curtailed the playing of loud music.

Sometimes windows are called port lights. SV Love and War, Cole's Bay 2026. #WindowsOnWednesday

Sometimes the weather does beautiful things.

Slice of rock anyone?

Myself and son Ben having a jolly time in Daffi, my 1961 Norwegian Peanut. It'll be a while before we get another go as she has no transom at the moment. I've also built a more appropriate tiller and rudder to complete the upgrade.

Boxing Day 2024. I know it's out of season but finding and posting old pictures is proving quite therapeutic at the moment.

Jan, Moss and Burry Port Beach. A happy place.

Stone steps are the best steps.

A bit of halo thinning to give the oaks some space.

A Shed. Workplace Stage Refuge Pub. I love my shed.

If it doesn't involve abuse or exploitation I don't care what people do.

Old school

Just thought I might put this here in case you hadn't seen it.......https://youtu.be/GDaPdpwA4Iw?si=ULto5vctOoB_p8PU

Hanging out in Coles Bay waiting for weather is not too shabby.

Delivering Love and War back to Sydney. First stop out of Hobart in Quarantine Bay. Not too shabby. What did I do to deserve this?

I would like to nominate "deplorable" to be word of the week.

A plane seems to have crashed in the house. Random.

The Ginko glows this time of year. Just lovely.

Moss and Mindy getting their first taste of the ocean. They liked it.

With The Naked Gun back in cinemas this week, it’s a timely reminder of the importance of supporting decades-old satirical institutions full of in-jokes. In completely unrelated news… IT’S PRIVATE EYE WEEK! New issue in shops and with subscribers from Wednesday.

I’ve joined @ecotalk.bsky.social as their new Chief Ecologist , working to rewild , replant and reintroduce some incredible native species into sites across the UK . You can support British wildlife too , just switch your SIM to Ecotalk– where profits go to nature , not shareholders ! #ad

Dog Day. Afternoon. Here's Kooper and Fi, our new hounds, who get to enjoy the woodlands having been rescued from the menu.

I share a workspace with this. I hope they can play nicely. It's a beauty.

A shed in progress

Nice to see my recently recommissioned slide square so happy in his work.

Oxymoron

A bragfest of lies

SS America to be sunk off the coast of Florida to create artificial reef? Oh, the irony.
