Sawdust

It has been a mixed day for the Gorse Fox whilst the Silver Vixen has been out at with her coven somewhere along the south coast.

Some PC maintenance started the day and was swiftly followed by a saunter through the various blogs that he follows periodically. Then it was on to research mobile broadband providers and to try an find a deal that suited his occasional need.  In most cases he can get WiFi access or make do with his phone - which in turn he can also use as a modem; but once in a while he wants proper access. After much deliberation he decided that the T-mobile pay as you go service is the ideal solution and pottered off into Worthing to get the USB dongle with the HSPDA-capable SIM.

Once back, he went to see how Urban-cub was getting on preparing some doors for painting. In the end it was easiest with team work and he helped by attacking the 493 layers of paint and varnish with a heat gun and scraper before launching at it with a belt sander. The belt sander made short shrift of the detritus that clung to stripped door turning it to dust and sawdust. Though it is probably 120 years old, it looks like new.

The Silver Vixen arrived back from her spell with with the coven having had a good day. A quiet evening is planned for all.
