Just a regular guy trying to build a self reliant life, if the state would just leave me alone.
This kind of shit always gets organised for the first properly cold day of the winter... Or the first cold day waits to spring a suprise on us... Either way, sliding around on a frost covered roof kept the contractors entertained ๐Ÿ˜† ๐Ÿคฃ #uk #brits #crane #lift #instal #fiat #mine
The indicators on the old jalopy are playing up.. I'm pretty sure its a dodgy relay. I just cant get to it. But I'm happy i got her in to a garage tomorrow and snowballing my debt for 3 years means i don't have to worry about the potential cost... You've got to see the positive lesson in some of lifes trials, there's enough doom to go around already ๐Ÿ˜‰ ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป #uk #brits #life #lessons #PSA
Gm nostrichers ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป Early start this morning and it's frosty so that means scraping the car. I'd better get on with getting ready for the fiat mine.. Have a good one folks ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป #uk #brits #fiat #mine #winter #frosty
Been waiting a long time to see this... Just because i have a naturally sick sense of black humour. Wait for the laugh at the end... #uk #brits #camouflage #ingenuity #funny
Been a busy few days so having some time happy scrolling NOSTR... But thought I'd also share some more of my colleagues metal work.. #uk #brits #metal #art #sculpture #skill
Made a start on clearing out the greenhouse. This lot will get burned later when it's a bit dryer. Spent the afternoon at home pottering about doing odd jobs to free up some time tomorrow ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป #uk #brits #allotment #food #sovereignty
Gm nostrichers ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป Just squeaked that in before midday ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ Been a cold damp start to the day which means wood chips getting moved onto the fallow bed. Half today, I'll do the rest tomorrow. Whilst the wheelbarrow was out i took the chance to shift some other stuff. image #uk #brits #garden #organic #fungal #allotment
Gm nostrichers ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป It's finally Friday ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป #uk brits image
I know a guy that does fantastic metal sculptures. And he has a speciality in Tim Burtonesqe art. Here's a Skeleton Jack peice he's made for a colleagues daughter. Amazing.. ๐Ÿ˜ #uk #brits #TimBurton #Nightmarebeforechristmas
Gm nostrichers ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป An early start here has revealed a cold wet morning is on the cards ๐Ÿ˜’ It's going to be a grey drudging kind of day. Winter has arrived ๐Ÿ˜ฑ Have a good one folks๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป #uk #brits #weather #cold #winter
Just got home from a humdrum day at the fiat mine to find a bag of goodies brought in by my neighbour.. Amongst them were this pair of beauties. Just got to sort a battery or solar set up and then it's playtime ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ #uk #brits #meshtastic #lora #heltecv3
Sharing because every homestead needs a railway.. Unless you're on more than 10 acres ๐Ÿคฃ Here in the UK smallholdings are rarely more than 4 acres so it makes more sense than a Quad or side by side. I love it, it inspires me to get my shit together and get the dream project up and running.. #uk #brits #narrow #gague #railway #fun
Gm nostrichers ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป The wind is blowing from the north which means winter is here ๐Ÿ˜ฑ It's a bright start though, the sunrise is just touching a clear sky which makes a change from the rain.. Have a good one folks ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป #uk #brits #cold #winter
I was just talking about this guy yesterday. Our ancient ancestors were quite the thinkers. We aren't slouches either, but i think the difference is they built for glory. Either for themselves or their gods. We build to fulfill an ideology. They are not the same. And the limited but original channel. https://youtube.com/@wallingtonw?si=MN2LtTLeFO0cd93r There's probably more out there. Interesting guy. #uk #brits #megalith #ancestors #technique
Amongst the odd bit of pottering I've done today, i started recessing some diamond sharpening plates. They aren't my favourite sharpening system but they work well enough to maintain an edge as i work. A strop works as well too. Once the recess is deep enough i contemplated gluing them in but ive decided to go with magnets glued in to drilled holes. image #uk #brits #sharpening #knives #diamondplates
Whilst in principle i agree with most stances these people take, i just can't get on board. The main issue i have is they don't offer or promote solutions. I've had conversations with these people about @Start9, @GrapheneOS, #bitcoin, #Nostr, #meshtastic. Side hustles, off grid living, local networks and skills based trading.. And blank looks.. They just seem to want to complain and expect someone else to fix it all. View quoted note โ†’
We did get some flooding on the allotment but it wasn't too bad. It's been higher, sometimes covering half the plot so i dont mind just the bottom bit being under water. At least the shed is dry so all the work last year to get a new base built paid off ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป #uk #brits #allotment #flood #storm
Gm nostrichers ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป The rain has stopped and river levels are dropping. Going to pop out to my local raw milk farm to pick up a couple of litres. Then down to the allotment for another flood check. If we're dry I'll get some wood chips on one of the beds i'm leaving fallow next year. Then home and work on drying in the workshop a bit more. But first, finish off this coffee.. #uk #brits #allotment #coffeechain #flood #river #workshop
