The pottering shed work has slowed a little but a third of the larch cladding is on, window fitted and sealed up. i will do a set of articles when its finished.
Work
The Chrome extension seems to have been well received. Its still in private beta and i need to set some time aside to think of how to improve it further. If you would like to have a play then you can find it here: Simons Schema Analyser.
If you want me to have a look at a project of yours, please do get in touch.
Hobbies
Progress on Whitesands Quay. Slipway former is in place and I have build the mole of the quayside wall. That's clad in Wills sheeting and half painted. I am also making progress on the main quayside wall. I need to write this up at some point!
Gaming
Have played the Roottrees Are Dead on Steam - very enjoyable puzzle game where you are trying to work out a family tree from clues scattered about. Not yet learnt the rules for Stupor Mundi now it is on BGA and am meant to be playing it.
Always happy to play online so please do invite me for a game of something! Me on board Game Arena.
Reading
Still slowly reading Hello World by Hannah Fry. 'Still' because I fall asleep almost immediately. I used to read books avidly but not so much these days.
Ideas
