No. My old one is just a backup. It’s one of the cheap water distillers and is a bit of a faff to use - voltage regulator etc, and the still spirits one is considerably more efficient. I do have my eye on a second still spirits airstill that is a few years old and possibly quite cheap.

They are still the best (see what I did there).

My initial response is, yes yes yes yes yes, No you cannot have too many!

However, my life partner, the love of my life, SWMBO, well she does does does does does'nt understand me!

I should have chosen a woman from Mars rather than Venus, not an option listed within the book though.

I am not sure you should order your wife out of a catalogue?

Sale or return? Try before you buy?

More likely caveat emptor.

Lucky boy. If you find a witch with 3 tits a photo please. Although I assume you are referring to a 'dry' one so will probably have no visually similarity to a large morally adventurous, veloptuos creature with pendulous buzzoms. But, Being in Beni you might see a few.......

Me just finished making sausage butties for 2 grand children who have stayed over. Now enjoying fresh coffee.......

We went with a ‘madge’, rather than a witches tit. Feck knows what is in them, but the barmaid was worried I could get back to the hotel safely on my chariot!

Gotcha. You gave the shorts to someone else to model them for you. Clever!

Right now, I'm sitting in my cab to avoid the rain while they load the trailer.

I'm sipping a cup of instant chai (the cardamom one).....

Today is a sand/gravel day.......

But indeed, I'd rather be in Benidorm :(

If there were choices, on the balance of probability, I would probably prefer to be behind the steering wheel of an artic.

Waitrose as well. Very posh.
Nope, I get the "Uniktea" ones. I like "chai" anyway, so when I saw the instant stuff advertised on FB, I figured I'd give it a go.

Still not tasted their Kashmiri one, as that's been out of stock, but I got my second order a week ago so I've got plenty to keep me going (the Uniktea ones, you get 10 sachets in a box for £2.50 so at 25p a cup, I figured a reasonable price as well ).

Meh! I'm sure that the artist is very skilled. Just that such a cliche of an image says "grovellybumlick" to me (I may be ex-services etc, and having dealt with the "Royal household" in a previous life, I'm still, very much, of a "Republic" view).

I am fermenting beer today, in the brew kettle with just the grains removed.

And I have some pastrami on the go too. Yum.

I have been building a gypsy caravan. I keep forgetting to take pictures, here it is at the weekend. Today I finished the handrail and started 2 front seats. It has been a weekend pleasure of mine for over a year. It originally had a canvas roof, but the charity I help want to use it as a place to have tea/coffee/cakes outside a Victorian rea room. So, as I enjoy woodwork.....

Very therapeutic.,,

All made from scrap, including the timber balustrade. It has an ex church window from Rugeley at the rear, I will take another picture.

Plant some trees, make something for others before you pass on.

Here is a picture of the/what was a church window I fitted in an opening lite at the rear of the caravan.

I am constructing a Lego Technic mobile crane (old steel erector). Not quite the same scale as the caravan, and progress is slow due to me not realising that to begin, you need to open 6 bag number 1s, 2 bag number 1s contained within other bag 1s and 2 bags with random numbers. Silly me.

The complete model does have 4500 pieces and half a dozen motors
