This is a vital prep. They might do a couple of lunches served on lightly butter toast, post-shit! :twisted:

Just bought some lamp wick and some galvanized wire to make olive oil lamps with.
Made my first one and it worked nicely.
Dashit these things are quick and easy to make. Just a pair of pliers and a pen knife, five minutes and you are done!

There was a bit of an oily smell in the air though and extinguishing it was a bit smokey. Must get my technique up there :)

Awesomely hot day, so of course Getting the Living Room ready for winter.

painting the inside of the external wall with a heat reflecting paint.

putting the thermal liners on the curtains.

checking the thermal roller blind is ok.

Same thing everyone else is doing in the middle of a heatwave.

I nipped out to Tesco for some cat food, and some wine (25% off six bottles) and ended up coming back three hours later and having spent £133! I got stuck in the Tesco Timewarp! :lol:
