The shed sign is up

In the late 1980s, I gave Vin a ‘Vince’s Shed’ sign for Christmas. Yesterday, we put it up in the area which is only an apology for a ‘real’ shed. We have a tiny garden shed here but the sign would be out in the weather and would deteriorate very quickly. We also attached the screwdriver set above the workbench and installed a powerboard on the side panel. It will be much more convenient than the power points at the rear of the garage. His beloved radio will one day sit on a ledge but we need to get out to buy a piece of wood for it first. On today’s agenda is putting up more picture rails and I need to make a chocolate slice. We’re nearly out. Enjoy your day.

Little by little you have a very nice working area inside the garage. I have to buy chocolate, I have the last chocolate bar in the kitchen.

@JudyEv As soon as there is a new lockdown the toilet paper disappears. I also have stocked many rolls, just in case.

@LadyDuck People just go berserk. The shops sell out of so many items as soon as a lockdown is announced.

We will try to last till Saturday as we're in lockdown but we can go out for groceries if we need to. There is no toilet paper in the shops again but I have plenty.

It is looking good in there even if a bit cramped for space! I know you are glad to be moved in now! I'm glad to see you back on the site!!

@kareng True, especially when you go from an acreage to a tiny area.

It's looking compact and convenient. When you guys get it finished, it should be fine.

@JudyEv We all knew, just like you did, that you and Vince still had adjustments to make after the move. All we can do is look, when you let us, give our opinion, when you ask for them (and sometimes, in my case, when you may not be interested in them), and do our best to support whatever decisions the two of you make. That's what friends are for. I'm sorry. I know I just went way too serious on you but it is the way I see things and am having some problems of my own that I am not sharing on myLot... yet or possibly not at all. A lot of my friends here are telling me I'm being "weird" but I can't help it.

@DaddyEvil There are good kinds of weird and you're at the top of the wossa. I'm sorry you have a few problems at the moment and I'm grateful for the support of yourself and the others here. Our elder son has just rung with his own problems but thankfully we are able to help him out. His are mostly financial but this time he is really making an effort to get himself sorted so it's good to be able to help. Sending you heaps of good wishes and positive thoughts.

I think it is better to put it there than out there.

What is a chocolate slice? That is a good place for the sign. I love those walls.

Many houses here are made of brick. The interiors are usually rendered so they look flat. Sometimes the outsides are rendered too but other times the brick is left as is. I'm not sure how to describe a chocolate slice lol. It's made in a flat pan then cut into squares. I guess it's a sort of cookie. This particular one doesn't have to be cooked and it has diced dried apricots in it and chocolate on top.

@JudyEv That's always good. Then you can sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labors. I'm still in the beginning stages of packing.

@just4him In a way, unpacking is quite nice and a bit like opening Christmas presents.
