Sad about your 1930's table @Annb10.3 at 4.50 this morning. Usual (these days) pain killers and tea. 9.3 at 8.40 (before breakfast). Now 8.4.
The kitchen is a bit clearer now. The table has been put back together and re-covered. One extension section is on trestles in the hallway. It took quite a lot of cleaning and has had a first coat of oil, but needs more. The 2nd extension section is still in its corner waiting to be brought out and cleaned but we may have to get some more teak oil for that - there was very little left in the bottle when we started this little job. I'm thinking about getting a bigger, different shaped table out of the loft and putting this one away (suitably wrapped against the damp and cold). The one I am thinking about is an oak, refectory style about 1 metre by about 2 metres. Narrower than the teak one but longer. Not sure if it will fit in the space.
I did have a beautiful and beautifully designed, old oak table (about 1930's or so) which was a good size for this kitchen - about 1 metre square when not extended - but I gave it, and its chairs, to Alistair because the table in their house was too big and they got rid of it. Later, they bought a new, small circular table and, I discovered, used the wood from my lovely oak table to build two bedheads for the children. I was (secretly) quite annoyed at that and would have asked for it back and bought some bedheads for them had I known beforehand. But, fair enough, I had given it to them so I had no right to be annoyed. I could do with it now, though. Ah well. That's life. The milk is spilt so I'll keep my tears to myself.
The more one reads about those involved in Brexit, Johnson's rise. Truss' demise and the daily contradictions eminating from this government the more apparent the lack of any philosophy appears. Just a bunch of chancers sensing an opportunity for time in the sun or to make money. Roosterup no plan nor conspiracy.Surely the political motivation is class privilege because money is the solution to their poor health service treatment, education and the good life they believe they have...they can pay for it.
They pay less tax than the poor and do not reflect the basic decency of a cohesive society.
They are forcing professions to turn on the working class when they seek better incomes and they couldn't care less, they are not affected.
Getting more oil out the North Sea will only help those who invest in the companies...it is sold at the world price it won't help fuel bills just increase climate change.
People in the Red Wall were duped by the right wing propaganda through their belief they would have better opportunities to prosper if free of Europe, the converse was true.

Thank you @lindisfel.
It's unusual, it gives me the feeling that a Neanderthal cave art abstract might give me....a bit out of this world.
There is an explanation of their policies, destructive conservatism!Surely the political motivation is class privilege because money is the solution to their poor health service treatment, education and the good life they believe they have...they can pay for it.

I am now practised at keeping at exactly 20 mph whether on the flat or a hill @ianpspurs
I still think it is too much to come off the bypass at 70mph, straight into a 20mph zone with no interim 30 mph speed. I know the sudden 20mph is there on a bend, and I am already slowing down and round the next bend is the mobile speed camera...a cash cow?
More Foghorn Leghorn elevated - at least in implementation.
I know it could be termed as as a conspiracy theory.The more one reads about those involved in Brexit, Johnson's rise.

Thank you @gennepher. Some nice winter clothing for grabs at Aldi tomorrow so may go and get some new socks.
Hope them those apples blow this way.I need a rest at home tomorrow. I am absolutely knackered.
I have been sleeping on and off since I got back from England this afternoon..
I said to my friend today that this 20mph in Wales was murder. What 20mph in Wales she said? She had no idea that Wales had done a blanket 20 Mph or that I was in the middle of one...and she lives less than 20 miles from the border...she hadn't seen it on the news she said. Perhaps it is not reported on the news in England? Not newsworthy...
I gave her a tree full of apples today. I have more than enough, and I have a tree of beautiful cooking apples that are going to take another month before they are ready. That is normal with this tree. I hope this storm leaves them on.
I managed to get home, not before the deluge, but before my trees started bashing other. I don't think my recycle will go out until morning...I fail to see how next door's recycle bags are going to stay on the ground held down with just a house brick...
The wind has really picked up. I couldn't walk in this wind. My app tells me it is 40 kph for the next hour...some broken branches flying around...
It was a classic piece of Art Deco design. I have quite a lot of that kind of design - inherited from my parents who married in the late 30's but the table and chairs we bought in an auction in West Kilbride in the late 60's. But I shouldn't expect others to value things I value, so I try to let it go (but here I am talking about it - tut!). I only thought about it because Neil thought we could get that one down from the loft to replace the teak table. He had thought Alistair had brought it back when it was no longer needed and I had to tell him the tables fate. He didn't say anything, but he reacted as he always does when irritated - lips tighten, eyes roll and he turns away with a quiet sigh.Sad about your 1930's table @Annb
You got let off lightly then!Hope them those apples blow this way.
Aggie was a damp squib on the peninsula
It threatened but no storm here, have had windier sunny days, and the rain wern't that much.
Poor Neil. He thinks the same way as you do.It was a classic piece of Art Deco design.
