it was glorious
but it started raining here about 20 minutes ago.
Not really
I'm hand sanding a floor. There's only one job worse: hand sanding the ceiling. And that's next.
Sanding a ceiling? Easy job...
Just get yourself an industrial floor sander and an anti-gravity machine. Bish bosh; job's a good un

Why are you hand sanding a ceiling Martin. A sanding pole with 80 grit sandpaper is your best bet for floor and ceiling
Quicksand
Thanks for your advice paintyface. Sorry, my original post was misleading. I actually have quite a fancy 6" Bosch random orbit sander at my disposal with vacuum attachment. By hand sanding I meant I wasn't using a floor sander. The ceiling is very low - 7 feet or so, and therefore easy to reach but agony on the arms. I'm not really familiar with sanding poles. Despite my pretensions, I'm still something of a Vauxhall Conference sander.

No probem Martin,by the way whats a Vauxhall Conference sander?
Football analogy.
I'm an enthusiastic amateur when it comes to DIY. Got through 20 discs of 40 grit today. Horrible floor. The surface has paint, varnish, linseed oil and God knows what else. More sanding tomorrow.

i got the reference to football as soon as I turned off the computer Martin. Good luck with the sanding. You'll enjoy a drink tonight when its done.
Someone who damages the paintwork
on old Vauxhalls whilst not being able to spell Cavalier properly? :-)
Fancy a brew?
You are a Mark and Lard fan?
Stimpy...
You sound like a Mark & Lard fan?
get back to work
fish or fowl,dobbins or bobbins. Bring them back I say. Oh happy days I had listening to them as I glossed yet another door and frame. Now its Steve bloody Wright or no repeat Virgin as I gloss another f@#king door and frame
Never heard 'em, never listen to Radios 1 nor 2 (shudder)
although my understanding is that Lard is really Marc Riley in which case I've heard him with The Fall - but I suspect that's not what you mean :-)
Think I can hear...
thunder.
You're right... here they come...

on a day out from the Old Jokes Home...
Q: How do you make a duck sing the blues?
A: Put it on a hot plate till it's Bill Withers.
Can you pass me my coat please, the one with the Werthers Originals in the inside pocket. Ta...
The joke is somewhat poor (!)
but I am very pleased that you understood my Withers reference. By the way, I'd never heard that gag before...
Sun Shining
breeze swaying the trees, a suicidal bird keeps nose diving into my office window but other than that its a beautiful day here in Toronto
A wonderful day
Just come back from Wembley with my wife - a lifelong Burnley fan. One of our better bank holiday Mondays.
Congratulations...
Looking forward to freezing my proverbials off at Turf Moor next season.
Martin Dobson, Ralph Coates...
...marvellous !
what a lovely weekend it has been
Shame I have to go back to work tomorrow.
i'm turning in now
- nighty-night, all.
Hang on ...
...it's still only six o'clock on this side of the Atlantic. I haven't even started my happy hour yet. All that sanding has made me thirsty.
And of course ...
...I'm listening to some Sandy Denny.
Followed by some
Giant Sand
I think I'll start tomorrow off with a bit of Metallica
Enter Sandman should do the trick.
You might want to follow that with...
Raising Sand
I was driving through
a sunny London town listening to the new Madness album and everything in life was as it should be
