I’m starting to fit out the shed. The first job that has to be done is get all the wiring in before I insulate and line the walls and floor.
I’ve already run the line from the Cliff Top Residence to the shed. I knelt in some fox’s poo which is the smelliest poo known to man, and Lo, she is a terrible Goddess, made me strip off in the garden before I was allowed back into the house. The gale driven rain was most refreshing.
I’ve just been out and bought the rest of the wire and fittings.
I’ve bought 4 double plugs. I hope that’s enough. There will be an electric kettle of course, a fridge, a radiator, a radio, a plasma screen TV, a DVD player and a computer. That leaves one plug free for any electrical tool I might have to use occasionally. (Do you need an electric blanket for your bed, Peabrain? Lo, TG Ed)
There are 8 spotlights to help my ancient eyes, a pull switch and a small consumer unit.
I take full responsibility for global warming.
To avoid shocks I shall do the work wearing rubber gloves, a wet suit and wellington boots.
I have dropped a note into Aloe Vera’s letterbox just in case she pops her head over the hedge again – I really don’t want a repeat of that ‘kiss of life’ stuff. One mix-up of false teeth is enough for one life-time.
BTW, I’ve decided to give avid readers weekends off – see you on Monday – if I’m spared.

real men leave the power on when splicing! c’mon! be tough!
I have never asked to be considered a ‘real’ man except when it comes to being a disappointment …….
Following the sequence of events after the fox poo (are you sure it wasn’t faux poo?) I do hope you re-attired yourself prior to your shopping trip.
Your deprived avid readers worry about things like this.
I put most of my clothes back on ……. it was quite mild ………
Please can I see a photo of the ‘new look’?
Nice chairs DaddyP

Comfy chairs? But I wasn’t expecting the – - -
Oh well …….
I assume the fridge is more like a mini-bar … ?
Now that’s a very good idea!!!! …….. for a Germanadian ………
I never had you down as being such a bright spark….
oh don’t forget the disco lights btw you know for when you have your ’shed warming’ party….
Unlike some, I don’t dwell in the past …… I’m on the cutting age of fashion …… [I might have a lava lamp though]
humf disco is the future …. how about this too as an idea for those long dark nights in the shed http://seattletwist.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/ottos-home-bar.jpg
That really does look very tasteful ………
really??????
No
phew!!!
I didn’t realize frogs could splice. I’ve been quite thorough in my research and cannot find a shred of evidence to support your claims, DP. Are you sure you haven’t planned a weekend of frolicking in the bog and eating as many flies as that sticky tongue can catch?
Tsk. Tsk. Shirking again.
It was a short term spell ……. luckily, I’d just clambered out of the pond when it wore off …….. so I’m fully handed again …….
is that gonna be enough ‘lectricity for the ferris wheel? you are gonna have a ferris wheel arent you?
I hadn’t thought of one Nooter …….. but now you’ve mentioned it ……. no I’m not ……..
I bet you look dead sexy in a wet suit
Like a vertical oil slick …….. on chicken legs
that’s not how I imagine you
It’s probably worse ……..
Sunday morning here – an interesting Saturday night and I reread that final sentence. Are you taking the weekend off because you are being spayed?????
Have you lost your glasses again Archie?
ah, i remember the joys of shed electricifying and insulating. The trouble came when i eventually got round to putting up shelves and i forgot where i had run the wires…. tense times….
Excellent pointer Purple Pigeon …… I’ll keep a plan ……..
can it fit a family of 4? {just askiiiiing…}
Of course ……. and at a very reasonable rent …….
