How tall are they? Most of the pipes I've listened to were as tall as me

Only 75cm or there abouts,only small Mark audio 4" driver but go low enough, also recently finished a pre power set and hopefully arts arriving on time have a DAC u and running this week.

Wow. That's dedication. Nice work.

Today I've been swotting up on how to prune grape vines

And the DAC is done, well up and running, have a few bits to do to it with it running on a temp iv stage. Are you goung to make wine?

Oh no. I take care of a friend's house that she lets out during the summer (she lives in That London) & there's about half a dozen vines in the front garden.
An old fella used to take care of them but can't anymore on account of him knacking his leg so I need to get them ready for the coming season. Have to hold off for the moment though as it's going to get down below freezing early next week & if I cut them back to the buds the frost will just kill them.

Measuring scuncheons

Today.. lol no more than two weeks i've been waiting for assessment / integrity test to come through, the third and final stage in getting a job.

first two interviews, on messenger video were done quite quickly and within a reasonable time frame of each other, went very well as far as online interviewing can go but seriously, how long does it take to send it through via email.

would be awesome to get the job as it's almost a year ago i left KLM and am ready to jump into a career again.

Fingers crossed for you Debs

Gardening.
The front garden at the house I look after is effectively a pile of rubble left over from the build of the second floor a few years ago masquerading as a rockery.
Today I transformed it from this


To this


Planted lavender, pyracantha, 3 different varieties of malva, tulips, & some marigold seeds.
