Are those the ones that come out in winter?
I kinda at times have blue ****, it's when I fasten one or both of my bluetits into the waistband of my skinny jeans bluetits
Why thank you Anne.... Yes I have !! ( don’t judge me when I tell you JUST NOW) guess my brain must still be on vacation... ?
The forum's program won't allow the second part of that if you put a space after blue.
That's exactly what I was trying to find out. And I apologize to Forum members who were grossed out by my feeble attempt at humor. I really apologize, I didn't realize how gross it was until I reread it just now. It would have been better if I had asked Y
Ship’s Galley Box - update.
Sanding all complete. All sawdust vacuumed. Entire areas tack clothed off. Furnace & fan off so no airborne dust is blown about.
The first coat. Inside of the doors. We sit & watch varnish dry. ?

Well it did put a picture in my head that's now very hard to unsee.

It just sounded like such a sweet story... I wanted to hear more! ?
Wellllll.... Hubby had to go back to work today and I didn’t have anyone at home that could watch Jayden while I brought Jess to Houston for her surgery... Dad can watch him, but he doesn’t do the bath, meds, suppers, and things like that... So the only solution I could come up with was to get a hotel room within walking distance of the hospital .. I can be here with Jess and then walk over and take care of the necessities for them.. ..Poor Dad is very run down from the chemo but he’s here .. said that Jayden is taking care of him! Jess is still in surgery this morning but should be out any minute now. I’ve been face timing them intermittently.. Once I get Jess back and settled in her room, I’ll run over and check on them. ?

Sounds like your Dad and Jayden are taking care of each other! Make sure you take care of you, too.
You've got an awful lot on your plate right now. Try to stay strong.
Good evening all, I haven't caught up with your posts yet but I'm very excited because I just found a newt in my kitchen! That's how wet it's been here - even they've had enough of it!
It's back out in the garden now and will hopefully be safe.
So to date my wildlife count includes numerous garden birds including a redwing overwintering in the UK, a hedgehog (not seen for a while so he may have moved on), at least 4 frogs and now a newt!
I wish I'd got a better look at it but it was black and about 10 cm long. Great crested newts are black and very rare but it looked smooth so was probably a common newt. I did try to use my wildlife camera to photograph it but I don't think it worked. Will check later and post here if I caught it.
Hope you are all having a good Tuesday.

Actually the palmate newt is the scarcest in the UKGood evening all, I haven't caught up with your posts yet but I'm very excited because I just found a newt in my kitchen! That's how wet it's been here - even they've had enough of it!

The GCN is actually pretty common, but protected because it is scarce across the rest of Europe. They are BIG though. You really notice the size
If you do have a photo, even a wonky one, I’ll show it to our resident newt expert. They’re daughter’s second speaciality after dormice

Ok. Now a coat on the outside of the cabinet doors. We’re using Total Boat Lust Matte Finish Varnish. Supposedly you can put a coat on every hour or so with minimal to no required sanding between coats.
Good luck to Jess for this surgery too. Hope it all goes as well as possible for her.
It's wonderful that Jayden and your Dad are looking after each other.
Hope you manage to get some rest to keep your strength up too Heather.
'Protected' that's what I meant to say. I don't think it was big enough for a GCN looking at the pictures I've googled - only the colour matches the description. Sadly I didn't get a picture myself - the folder is empty. I just wish I'd examined him in more detail before releasing him.Actually the palmate newt is the scarcest in the UK

Very nice of him to pop in though - I've not seen a newt around here for many years.
Just goes to show how even a small garden like mine can attract wildlife.
