Given the option, it’s how I’d spend my Friday afternoon too.

I’ve been building this #selfbuild garden room since the beginning of summer and now the door & windows are in it’s beginning to look proper. This is about as far as I can go with the outside as the cladding is a spring job, but the electrics go in next week and then I can finish the inside.

Further to last week’s Interesting #Question, it appears that frost doesn’t form in the shadow of the tree. So then, is this due to lack of moisture or an increased temperature in that area?

Oh my days! LEGO have just released my absolute favourite F1 car, Mansell’s FW14B.

And it looks amazing!

Yes. But the Mk1 Burner was the OG.

I always coveted the 5 spoke Mag wheels but I loved the yellow tyres.

Here’s an interesting* #question. The thaw pattern on the Megashed roof follows the overhang of the neighbour’s tree. So did the tree prevent the frost from forming or has it accelerated the thaw?

(*Actual interest may vary)

Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order. (Original post says ‘No explanations, no reviews, just covers’ but I like explanations.)

A magical book that for some reason really moved me…

In what feels like a very large step in my life, I am finally throwing away the last SCART and VGA cables I will ever own. #dadgoals

Once again, I seem to have accidentally made a pizza slightly larger than the dinner plate…

Plus, it’s not many books that get a quote from both Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates and former England defender Graeme Le Saux.

Great to see Randall Munroe @xkcd.com in town this evening. Warm, funny and always interesting.

And now I know how NOT to cook a steak!
