(The gall of the man - putting a car in a room intended for a car!)<BR/><BR/>It's a truly addictive pursuit.

Shavings needn't be wasted either: they can be composted.Tanya Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15919250829858831002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32145603.post-57781690587464378152008-05-21T23:56:00.000+10:002008-05-21T23:56:00.000+10:00Okay my to do list for you is now three pages long...Okay my to do list for you is now three pages long...!!!!<BR/>Is there a kokeshi lurking in there?crazyhaberdasherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08212678827504554003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32145603.post-31440373426866968412008-05-21T23:53:00.000+10:002008-05-21T23:53:00.000+10:00Looks like a lovely silky bit of dowel.
