Mostly YouTube how to build houses & furniture. Reviews on tools & how to use them. Also a bit of craft how to’s (mostly crochet).
Latest viewing has been how to build bedside units and pocket hole jigs.

There was a TV programme years ago ?The Homemade Home and It set me thinking about whether everything I had and wore could be handmade...........so I went to a taster "learn to Knit" event and the instructor said you can knit anything you want - so I said I wanted to knit a beach hut, because in the TV series IIRC she'd knitted a row of beach huts for a doorstop!!! I knitted 2 walls and a door before the session ended (same day!) but I never found the time to knit the rest!!
One girl said she wanted to knit a cigarette for her boyfriend, to encourage him to stop smoking!! She did, complete with tip, ash on the end and smoke curling out. Only problem was, it was the diameter of a hosepipe! She thought her boyfriend would keep it in his pocket and whip it out whenever he felt the urge to smoke. If he'd whipped this thing out in public, he could have been arrested!!

I ran my printer out of ink, having printed off so many guardian cryptic crosswords - guardian because they're free, and printed so I'm not tempted to check the answers. I do sudoku online though Smile

One other thing that I have been watching a lot is the birds, the back grass is full of them, finches, sparrows, wagtails, tits and starlings along with a number of crows and pigeons, which if the stay about here much longer will be fine for the pot:

Would you eat the crows or just the pigeons? Is it legal to kill them in Scotland?

It is illegal to kill both crows and pigeons, normally crows are never considered for eating but pigeon pie is fine and as I said they would be fine for the pot if they stay about here much longer, due to the amount of feeding they have consumedBig Grin
