Ack, double post

Whats that stuff they run Mamod engines on?

Ive read accounts of collecting it from both wars. Certainly it is a good absorber!

My life in England is over, I am planning on moving to Fair Alba permanently. (Scottish people; please do not look so smug)... So, will have to sell or rent my house. If I rent, I will at lest not burn all my bridges. (If I sell, I will never be able to get a house in my very desirable...

Just about. I blame my leg; I still limp, but I will say I am at least 90% better.

Finally I get time for some days out. I take all my kit. Food? Mostly bread and cheese...plus takeouts. (Which I probably would have got anyhow) Sleeping? I got in the boot of my car. Sole effort to blow up the mattress and get out the quilt. (It would be nice to have a car I can open the...

Does Lord of the Rings count as one book? If no, The Silmarillion. (Or, the Harvard lampoons Bored of the Rings which IMHO is the funniest book ever written) Can you have another book as luxury? Or, a 30 piece box of high quality chocolates

Silkys are used by Tree surgeons. But yes, you do need to get used to the Pull...some folk dont.

<looks guilty>

The smithy in our Iron Age Village has a turf roof. It leaks like a sieve. (Our Crannog build will take two years and a vast quantity of logs...but we are shameless status seekers and Living on Water is de rigour here...)

Whats wrong with worn out everyday wear?

Salvaged one of those army boot liners from the bin; anyone need patches? Wont cost you anything

Am making a Christmas wreath, going to add pinecones. I have some of those long ones (No idea what tree) And want to use both open and closed. They are wet outside and so closed...but you bring them inside and they puff up like a cross hedgehog! any ideas?

Guys, I think you are getting it all wrong. I am not suggesting consuming more; I am suggesting consuming less. (And I think we agree that poor quality clothing is neither luxury or progressive...and most is poor quality now). I do my clothes shop at the local Thrift shop. Fill a bag for £5...

Yes, but only if you can fit 5 days worth of productivity into 4...

Idly flicking through a book on Plastics...seems to be selling new (not even old) solutions. (I for one, own enough bedding to never need a sheet ever again...) So maybe the Green movement is wrong, we do not need to do more...we maybe need to do less. Like the Fast fashion problem...this...

But...We didnt get to hear if the OP has visited Scotland yet....

You sound like you are running away from something and if you are not careful you will bring your troubles with you. I have read theres lots vanish in the US, and it doesnt seem to matter, but fortunately or unfortunately, it does here. Dont try it. (Dont throw yourself in front of a train...

I want to know if the OP has been to Scotland yet and what does he think of it? (Survival in Scotia for me has been picking up as many local volumes as possible and getting used to Irn Bru...)

Yes, it was a bit of a struggle at times but I coped. And what a perfect weekend!
