This morning’s job was extricating a sparrow from the chimney of my wood burning stove. On the plus side, at least this time I hadn’t just finished decorating.

After 30 years of faultless service my solarmatic is being retired. Headstrap has died and there’s no spares.

New flooring going down next week and the one cable behind the couch that I thought would never ever have to move because it’s behind the couch and is never seen now has to be moved. A delightful afternoon under the floor for me then.

My darkroom session today went pretty well apart from one issue with a print i can’t work out what happened. I’ve been mulling it in my head all day and I still can‘t understand why.

Yum, yum and thrice yum. @givemeabiscuit.bsky.social arrived all safe and well mostly because of Claire’s excellent packing. Thank you so much.

Standard GAS welding glass is shade 5 and not suitable and is fitted in goggles. Normal ARC welding glass at shade 12 (it‘ll be on the glass somewhere) is fine and it will be fitted in a full face visor. Auto darkening, absolutely not.

Handy equation: I make my darkroom test prints on 8 x 10 paper then use this calculation to get the time for larger prints. The sizes are actual negative sizes on the baseboard.

My next door neighbour has had a mobile mechanic at his Range Rover since 11 this morning. Theres an awful lot of head shaking and inhaling through teeth.
