Wood splitting aside :lol: :lol: this afternoon I set out all the greenhouse crops, tommyatoes, chillies, cucumbers etc. looking good. Now grow you bu** ers!! :D
Tomorrow afternoon I shall move the mountain of logs my landscaper neighbour dumped on the front.

I really could do with a logsplitter. :lol:

My Birthday Sunday So will not be doing much over the Easter weekend prepping wise.. :evil:

Made some Biscuits this week which I Vacuum seal and they last for about 3 years before getting to the inedible/tooth breaking hard stage.

Keeping my eye out for wood because I am thinking of making an outside storage box, Looked in all the usual shops online and in person and the plastic ones all look a bit flimsy but over priced and the wooden ones are hundreds and hundreds of pounds.... All I want it for is storing cases of bottled water for the summer. :lol:


So yea not much going on in Fairly sunny Kent this week for myself folks.

Hope all is well guys and girls speak to ya next week :D
Having food,water and shelter are not a right.
They are a responsibility.

So make it your priority.

My eye first aid kit has arrived and have had a good time of fun in finding a place for it in the now rather busy kitchen area. However, I feel a lot safer knowing that I have a tendency to damage my eyes from time to time

Might be advisable to invest in some 'decent' eye protection then :roll:

Got my order from Endicott's and my new down sleeping bag arrived the same day.

The bag is lofting, the boots oiled, the water jerry disinfected and the other bitz stored away

Recycled some timber today*, going to turn it into 'stuff' tomorrow.


*And now remember just how great my Bacho nail-puller is

Oh, I have that when I know I am using something that might damage the eye, but sometimes i get damage when I least expect it and I certainly aren't going to go around all the time wearing protective goggles otherwise I might look a complete silly billy

My son is doing his silver Duke of Edinburgh's award. So I just had to go and buy him a Hi Gear Tibet 65 + 10 Backpack and an MSR Pocket Rocket Backpacking Stove. A win win.
