Going nowhere

The Gorse Fox has driven about 80 miles today without really going anywhere. It went something like this...

Need new fine-cut blade for circular saw. Go to Focus DIY. They don't have any.
Go to Wickes, they have some, but wrong diameter.
Return Home.

Pick up tools and drawer carcass to head to the flat and finish fitting the drawer. Lay everything out to check it... 3mm too wide. Pack drawer carcass back up in the car.
Swing by B&Q for the saw blade. Choice of hundreds... none with correct tooth count and diameter.

Head home. Finish adjustments on drawer. (Incidentally, these were always expected - it's easier to take a few mm off than put some back on). Glass of water, pasty.

Head to Screwfix - too much choice. Still no blades of correct diameter and tooth count. Bought new circular saw and suitable blade.
Turned round and headed back to the flat. Finished fitting drawer.
Headed home. Fitted alternate blade to new saw.

Sat down with a cold Weissbier. Enough!
