  1. Getting a new 240V line put into the garage today for a Level2 charger for the Jeep 4xe. No more 12 hour full charges, buuut just as much electricity used. Must remember that. Doesn’t use less leccy simply because charges quicker. The #JuiceBox is a damn beast of a device as well. Connects to Wi-Fi and all - what a wondrous time we live in.

  2. 🏡 Last summer, I spent a weekend in the countryside working on my first dry stone wall.

    The satisfaction of stacking each stone, knowing it’ll stand strong without mortar, was immense!

    Here’s how I tackled it: • Gathered tools like a mason’s hammer and spirit level.

    • Measured everything twice to keep it straight and sturdy.

    Kristie de Garis’s Drystone: A Life Rebuilt is unflinchingly honest and unexpectedly funny. A story about the weight of the past, resilience and the hard work of living on your own terms.

    Some things may never change. What matters is the life you build anyway.

  7. How about a blob of blue glass in the wall? Why not?

    This wall keeps giving surprises.

  8. Finished Drystone A Life Rebuilt by @kristiedegaris in one sitting. By turns enraging, inspiring, engrossing and *very* funny, this is an examination of a life through the art and craft of drystone walling.
    Such beautiful writing, highly recommended. You can order it through your local bookshop uk.bookshop.org/p/books/drysto

  9. @kristiedegaris "drystone also provides a home for many animals, insects and plants, with each wall containing a diverse ecosystem." – so true. One of my favourite pastimes is to walk along drystone walls in a Mediterranean island on a fine Summer day and spot the many solitary native bees that make their homes there into the little cracks. A few examples from Crete, Greece:

  10. A newly rebuilt drystone walled section of road; Portobello Rd, Dunedin .At a guess 10 km, but a local may correct me. Well done to the stonemasons who dedicated their craft to lay stone ( instead of modern concrete shoring technique that has little character in comparison)
    Sections of this harbour drive were widened as well for a cycle/ walkway. Can do a full circle by crossing the harbour on a small ferry and riding the trail to the city and back.
