So what's everyone up to?

I think I'm going to take it easy. Apart from a birthday party tomorrow I'll be relaxing.

Mrs Gee and Mini Gee are both on half term hols as of this afternoon, I'll be doing well if I can get either of them to do anything tomorrow or Sunday. However sometime tomorrow I'll be nipping over to a small farm I've found where they raise their own livestock, have it slaughtered locally and sell the meat from the farmhouse kitchen, it's the best beef I've found, so we're having a steak night tomorrow and there'll be a nice joint in the freezer ready for next week.

Going to see a new tattooist after tea so hopefully getting some ink done,
Sat am work pm soul night at Dudley town hall
Sunday am work pm chillin with a bit of motogp unless I hear the result lol

Just got home from work after handing in my notice I love my job at Triumph and will sorely miss it. After having a career and a plethora of jobs in between, this bass got to be the best job ever (although you wouldn't do it for money

Tonight watching some documentaries on line , probably watch The Los Zetas gang crime doc

Saturday making xmas cake Saturday pm I have put as ice to do some reading with a nice bottle of something

Sunday nothing planned but might go in the workshop and play with the blow torches for a while

why you pack it in ? and why are you torturing sombody with a blow torch ?

getting the bike ready for a track day next week.

Perkles, I'm moving about 160 miles so it's a bit of a commute twice a week

Blow torches are for making and moulding copper and silver plus soldering , have not used it on people just me.

Had a bit of an accident couple of months ago. I'd made a conical copper disc and wanted to drill a small hole, so held said disc with left thumb and finger and set drill to high speed... I think you can guess what happened next . I managed to superglue it together but seem to have lost all the feeling in the top of my thumb now

Tonight will be chilling and either catching last weeks moto gp or going to the pub.

Hopefully the rest of the weekend will be quiet. The only things I have to do is help someone setup a computer, clean out the guinea pig hutches, and look after the boy on Sunday while the girl one goes to a party.

If you do stay in tonight Nutz and fancy watching motogp make sure you watch Philip island moto3 it is the race of the year. I guarantee you will love it.

Nice you got a Tumblr or Flickr page to show it off ?

I have a few bits on etsy forum , but most of it I give away to charity auctions. I've sold a few items but never have enough confidence in my work .

I like moulding copper and silver leaves and incorporating them onto bracelets and chains , although my daughter did liken one piece as resembling lady bits !!! and lots of hammer work . It's not everyones cup of tea

I get lost in solder, it's something I love doing as silver to copper is sometimes difficult but when it happens its a great feeling , just call me a very sad bag lady

That's not sad it's great to have such a skill,let's have a butchers at some of it
