your stories are beautiful, so uplifting and I adore spike
Happysexagenarian, I too can use a scroll saw, went on some courses, it was my husbands and now mine. Other good items I spent a lot on where swiss carving gouges. Sadly now I have lost that mojo because the group folded, thank you covid. All safely wrapped up and as good as an inheritance for AC
I have 3 bikes, my last was a whizzy road bike, islabikes and I have had a really good kalkhoff ebike since 2008. It was 2.5 k even then but wow, still going strong and that is with me maintaining it. I would spend a lot on another if my kalkhoff dies on me, if beyond repair
I don`t hesitate to treat myself but it is not really that often, I don`t want to stuff my face as I am healthy and want to keep cycling. Maybe celtic slippers when the ones I have wear out. I bear in mind that I may have to fund care if I get a short straw, who knows
