Good morning from s somerset, very windy and cold
The wind battered the windows all through the night and it was raining, the weather can turn on a sixpence. I checked my boiler pressure just now and have raised it a bit, the rads did need a fair bit of bleeding after boiler swap
Busy yesterday, I made 6 inner ballast bags, 100 cm long and 24 cm wide. I sewed a dividing line so I would get equal weights at either end. My microtex needle hated the fabric and eventually shattered. At that point I put my glasses on for safety and tried a universal needle, which worked like a dream. I am now waiting for the cordura fabric to arrive, for outer bags. These weights are destined for my shed roof, to help hold the felt down and I am hoping will be permanent, without anxiety over them bursting
Earlier I made 200 capsules of mag glycinate, a pure compound. A boring job but well worth it, I have a filling device
No plans for today, apart from keeping warm. I need to make a good veg soup and will do some more spinning and my kefir needs to be strained and the grains fed
I am watching the clouds, moving very fast and the birds are going at 100 mph, not actual flying, just moving with the air.
