I've bought some snow pegs, and I'm hoping we get enough snow this year to use them!
Does the test still include 'how to wire a three-pin plug'?
I took my test when it had to be in-person; I was the only one in a large hall at Sleap Airfield. Bonus though, I got taken up in a two-seater Cessna after the test

It's still in the book, so I suspect it can still come up. Alas, no Cessna trip for me. Sounds like a great way to celebrate, though!
I’d wanted one of his axes, but he doesn’t seem to make those anymore. But I’ve ordered a sloyd, finishing hook knife and a swan neck gouge. Was very hard to choose though.
A dozen new kilt pins for £2.00 from my lovely charity shop. Perfect to make a wool sleeping bag without having to cut a lovely blanket up.
A dozen kilt pins for £2.00 is a bargain in anyone's book as they are about £2.00each.

I managed to picked up a pair of Sorrel Caribou winter boots from the charity shop that look like they have never been worn for not a lot of money

Got this through today. Excellent book, highly recommend it for any arachnophiles out there.
Yep, the best I've found for a general spider reference - in fact all the Wildguides have been excellent.
Unfortunately, many species cannot be differentiated visually, but it does allow you to get down to family level.

I recall you recommended the 'Wildguides' before on another thread. This is the first one I've picked up and I'm really impressed with it.
I've got it in mind to get the insects one too.
Just bought this tiny Opinel #7 garlic and chestnut knife. It’s going to be a great little whittling, ferckling (phurquling?) and prodding knife.
I’ll use it for a while as it is then maybe make a bigger handle for it.
I found a big old leather bag in a charity shop which I bought for the leather as you don’t get much leather for 4 quid.
Now I look at it, have become attached and don’t want to cut it up as planned for what ever project I might have had in mind. The thing is tough leather exterior and turns out is inner lined with fine leather. Looks kinda cool, old school, but it’s not very practical now I don’t have servants to carry it.
On plus side my other half won’t rob it like before with the other leather bags bought for similar reasons.

Had a job lot of lanterns arrive yesterday
2 small and 1 large Kwang Hwa's, 1 Ever Bright which is a Chinese make, 1 Meva 863 and a FH 275. All of them have been very badly painted with what looks like to be blackboard paint. So I'll need to get some stripper to remove that before they go into the acid bath

Won't it work if they keep their clothes on?
Nice looking lamps, though, they look like they've seen some life at least.
Good evening , please take a seat. I understand your Mastermind subject will be 'Lanterns from the Industrial revolution" -Are you ready your questions Mr Mesquite??
I've started, So I will finish....
This arrived today and the note on the packaging gave me a chuckle. Love the Finns.
A shed, I bought a shed. A 5x5 corner shed to be precise, would have liked a 6x6 but just not enough room, but still, it's better than nothing. Will eventually be able to get all my tools and projects into one place which is the main thing.
No more space unfortunately 
In other news just purchased a new Svante Djarv big spoon knife.
