After the storm, a quiet glow.
The rain was relentless, the power still out, but this morning, the sky remembered blue.

From my bedroom window: droplets, sunbeams, and a forest waking up slowly.
Manzanita, you’re moody and magnificent.

I know it's awful what you're going through. But I hope you're coping, Gary. Xxx

Well, what a two weeks. The kids have been ill. Poor Emily was in A&E, temp over a 💯, sent home, no medicine. We had her next day. Thank god for calpol. But her temp was a 100, again. Luckily, she's a bit better today. The cough is awful, though. I'm fraught.

Clients often ask if my TARDIS Cabinets are bigger on the inside. While Time Lord engineering eludes me, I promise each one holds its own wonder—crafted with care, imagination, and a spark of adventure.

I've just emailed my MP to tell them what nature means to me and that I want it to stay protected. Will you take action too?

Tell the UK Government they must do better for nature!

Good morning from Elizabeth City. It’s 5am, and just 18 days till I return to Oregon’s misty coast. To my American friends - Happy Thanksgiving. To everyone else - Happy Thursday. And to my Native American friends - I’m sorry.
May today bring reflection, gratitude, and gentle grace.

20 days till Oregon’s misty embrace. Manzanita calls with surf, cliffs, and a workshop dream. TARDIS Cabinets relaunch awaits, where wood meets wonder. Grateful, hopeful, and ready for the coast.

What a day. Car broken, on snowiest day. Had to take Hubby on a bus after 25 years. He had no idea. Why is it always 🎄

A classic #TARDIS​ table prototype.

I built it too big, frankly, but I think she turned out really rather well and I wanted to show off.

She is 18x18x36 inches with the tabletop height at 28 inches.
Just a bit too big, but she is built and she was born this way.

Four empty frames, quietly waiting. Soon they’ll hold photos of fresh TARDIS builds, crafted with care, coastal mist in the air, and Oregon spirit in every detail. The wall’s a promise, the wires a whisper: Gary Dorr, Cabinet Maker, is coming home to create.
Do stay tuned.

Read this piece, now feel like I need a good scrub with Dettol.
NEW: Trump claims he broke contact with Epstein in 2004. But Epstein sure seemed to know about President Trump’s policy views and thinking in 2017, via correspondence with an advisor for Bill Gates.

(In the same emails, Epstein also asks Gates’ advisor if she’d fucked him. So there’s that too.)

In text messages from 2017, Jeffrey Epstein seemingly represented himself as positioned to pass information from the Trump White House to Bill Gates through an intermediary.

A 12th Doctor's TARDIS inspired jewelry cabinet I built for a client in Texas, USA.
The drawers are Oak and the cabinet carcass is Poplar.
There is a LOT of sanding on all my builds.

Sorry, I've been missing
Not that you've missed me. I'm having a bit of a bad time with mam. To be honest, she's being horrible to me. If I thought it was dementia. I could cope with it. She is a bit forgetful. I think, though, it's the you're my daughter, it's your job. 😔
