  Been netting regularly at Hackney Marshes nets for a month now. Pretty easy to social distance though it can get busy after work hours. I've never been so ready and well practiced for a cricket season before. Shame there probably won't be one

  I've been umming and ahhing over a new watch for a while kinda to mark taking the plunge into a new industry and being taken on full time doing something I like and is useful.

  This seiko has been staring at me for ages but not sure if I love it for £750 . Also kinda wonder if it will look rubbish as soon as it gets a scratch on the black body, whereas others will take inevitable wear a bit better?

  Other thoughts have been:
  Hamilton Kakhi Field
  Smiths Everest
  Laco Aachen, maybe

  Yeah I know they are all very different watches but, I'm not searching for a specific type, more like a nice everyday watch to be worn when I'm not wearing my dress watch

  So I've reused my old shed for some raised beds. I have some old concrete blocks lying around and a load of gravel.

  My question is, should I put the concrete blocks in the bottom of the raised beds, then cover with gravel, then put soil on top or would it be better to just fill with soil, or just have gravel for drainage then soil?

  I've looked on the interwebz and am still unsure
