I don’t think I’ve ever even seen 5G come up on my phone. I live in North Cornwall and it’s pretty much WiFi or E unless I stand on the roof with an antenna on my head.
Still get charged for 5G, obviously.
This is from the best place in my house for mobile signal….

Designed and made an eco-flex skateboard deck for a new startup.
Natural, strong and twangy. Like a Cornish farmer in suspenders.

Cute little “80’s beach vibe” inspired Paipo for a customer’s 50th Birthday present. Always tense making surprise boards for people as a big chunk of my consultation and design process simply can’t happen. Hopefully he likes it.

I also refurbished our old Victorian era sewing machine.
We’ve used this for everything from quick repairs to bridesmaids dresses and surfboard bags, but for the last 10 years, it’s just been sat gathering dust.
Much like many of us in the UK….
No prospect of retirement. 🤘🏽🔥

Gradually turning an awkward, knackered, downstairs bathroom into a walk in larder/cloakroom. Scored the 18th century Monk’s seat yesterday from a house clearance sale.

The surf was too rough for everyone to paddle out, but a 50/50 split for my friend’s memorial was just as poignant.
