    It appears that the more disgusting beer tastes, the better it is. At least, that's what I find when my husband invites me to taste a ' good ' beer.😝

    Good work @Mary370 :)
    I'd agree with @wild edges - leccy screwdrivers aren't always ideal for flat pack stuff. Too fast and furious most of the time.
    My eldest daughter is good at it. I was thinking of hiring her out at one point. 
    If you do a lot of DIY, you have boxes and tins full of 'bits'... ;)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    I think "widget" was a perfectly good word before the beer canning industry got hold of it, @Wilderbeast ...  online dictionary says "a small gadget or mechanical device"... and now it appears to mean something connected to my computer...  sigh...

    @Liriodendron in the world of joiner/builder that inhabit it's usually called "that f@#£&+&" but widget is for nicer 🤣

    I cant "do" flat pack furniture, dont ask me why I cant understand the instructions on these things, never have been able to, dont know why English language and lit were my best subjects at school, its like that old saying, show me something, etc etc, you have to let me do the thing, my kids reach over me on the PC here, rattl away, I say, tell me, and let me do it.  The old man is as bad, hes a vehicle tech, very tecky minded, can turn his hand to anything.  I havent done anything I dont normally do, just more of it haha

    You know lockdown has lasted way too long when you start counting the bits of duckweed.
