Is there anybody near me with terrible internet that wants starlink? I’ve got one that I’m no longer needing and could do an account transfer. Will stick it on eBay if not…
Looking for £250 for the hardware.

@RyobiToolsUK Any idea when your Trim Router Starter Kit is likely to be back in stock?

England are picking Root for his bowling. Surely he’s got to make a score this innings or might not have a place in the team.

Final bonus. What to do if you poke an umbrella through your plasterboard ceiling, a series of pictures…
Getting this repair flush with the existing was one of the hardest bits of the week.

[James McCrea @jamesmccrea]

Plastering day 5/5, the final day!
Our choice of project today. I went with a skim over the plasterboard wall (w/ the window), this being most like onto plasterboard which might be more useful for me.

[James McCrea @jamesmccrea]

What I won’t miss is the commute and traffic, which was only eased by podcasts. I can really recommend the “13 minutes to the moon” series from the BBC, which deep dives into Apollo 11 (and others) to talk about the moon landing. Interesting and insightful

And in the afternoon, the left side of the wall to the join (came out ok imo), and a bit of skimming on top of the plasterboard at the top of the right hand wall.

[James McCrea @jamesmccrea]

Plastering day 4/5, am
Skimmed half the back wall (ready for joining to left side, simulating a larger wall), and the front corner on top of the bonding layer.
Then sad times, had to demolish my right hand side walls!
