I've come to think of 5/8 as a stunning result in my daily struggle with the Great British Art Quiz. But today's gallery - Aberdeen art gallery, was not impressed.
Crushed again.
A quiz set by a different currently closed UK art gallery each day, found in the culture section of The Guardian (if this sounds like your idea of a good time)

Next 4 doors are ornamented, put together, sanded and ready for a first fit.
Am finally caught up with the spouse, who knocked up a couple of raised beds, built a compost heap and helped his Son-in-law build a deck while waiting for me to complete my part of the program.

My Ma is not a big fan of Mothers Day - to be honest, she's not great on birthdays or Christmas either. What she is is the one who comes to stay and asks 'what have you got for me to do?' and by that she means sewing, cooking, gardening or mucking in with a studio job. If you live nearby, she'll knit you a sweater, sew you a frock, or make a plate of flapjack. Her kids and grandkids houses are full of curtains and cushions she has made, endless darned clothes, and our gardens look better too.
I like Mothers day even if she doesn't! .

Snow in the temporary Dojo, but Aikido must go on.
So good to keep up with the Okami Kai crew for our regular classes.

We've decided to keep the spare copper plumbing pipe embedded in the mechanical room door: 'in case of a plumbing emergency - break door'.

Seemed like a good day to organise a little easter beer hunt for some of our local pals. Because a beer in a bush in your front yard is worth two in a closed supermarket right?

Our still-not-quite-finished house lacks doors, and the spouse has decided that now is as good a time as any to start the door building program -I get the prototype as my shop door. Here in dry fit stage.
