💭 To understand me a little better

Good to know about me

I measure twice and still cut wrong sometimes.

My boundaries

Weekends are for the bairns and the plot.

What gives me energy

First brew of the day in the shed, radio on.

💛 Things I love, can't get enough of, or have been dreaming about

A Japanese pull saw

Cuts like butter.

Decent seed potatoes

Charlotte, every time.

🙅 Things that aren't really for me

Flat-pack furniture

It offends me professionally.

⭐ A few of my favourite things

Favourite TV shows

The Repair Shop — I'm not crying, you're crying.

Favourite music & bands

Sam Fender — A local lad, like.

🧰 Tips & life hacks I can share

WD-40 and a good torch live by the door

Half of life's problems are a squeak or the dark.

🧩 Problems I'm trying to solve — ideas welcome

Slugs vs my lettuces (I am losing)

The Geordie slugs are hard.
