Saul Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Been doing a bit of DIY. It’s been ages since I’ve picked up any tools and to be honest it’s the simplest things that make you smile the most ripping an old reclaimed bit of timber up on my tables saw then hand planing it was just a pleasure. I really need to get back to my woodworking, so good for your mental health. Anyway now I have somewhere to store my gear that doesn’t cause the Ire of the Darkness. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gear goes in the ex airing cupboard....central heating pipes run through it so it dries my gear, not that I go out in the rain if possible. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say it's physically draining as much but mentally yes I'd agree 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get weaker, you have less energy, and you get muscle wastage. And as you get older it hits you even harder. I'd never have ended up with a Hernia back in the 90's. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTreme Posted October 5, 2023 Author Share Posted October 5, 2023 Now I'm having to sort my taxes for the last quarter to send to my accountant! And unfortunately I've got a shitload of IVA/VAT to pay this time round! The perfect client for me (besides under the radar) is UK and VAT registered.......then I don't have to be an unpaid tax collector for the Spanish government! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
