I expected her to ride the white dog aka Luck Dragon up the stairs for the climax.

It was already there but buried under years of neglect and overgrowth- felt like an archaeologist digging it out and discovering it lead all the way up the garden. Its anything but level though ;)

I have 3 large trees and a massive conifer in my garden, which never would have been my choice of tree. There are a lot of nests/animals living in there and it creates some nice shade in summer so I can't bring myself to remove it.

But in the space you have, I'd say go for it but def speak to the neighbours.

@Hefty as do all raptors!

Cats just do it for fun.

Gardening is only hard work if you do fuck all.

A little - often is only needed which is actually enjoyable and a very small price for foxes, owls, woodpeckers and sparrowhawks.. even in a London / suburban garden.

It's also notable how these soulless conversions also delete all plant life/habitat. 😢

Take Long Walks (in crocs)

A few of those horrible front doors round our way on 30's housing, it's a bit of a Greek thing.
Normally with a Range Rover Velar parked outside.

@dbr Darko Audio has done a load of recent videos on room treatments that are worth a look.

Do love that amp wood sided look with aluminium - esp just side panels with a black fascia - Japanese vibes.
Quite a line up in this collection: https://youtu.be/lEDNHDFOP_A

and disco ball!

...Was waiting for that.
Cycling/cargo bikes don't work for my mother-in-law's hospital visits.
Plus if you have very young children cycling is challenging for all eventualities.

The car would only be for short local journeys - but I hear you on warranty/future problems

Poor choice of words - digging a lot deeper!
I have an off-street space with the option to add a charger.

I live in N14 in the soon-to-be extended Ulez zone and am considering a small used petrol car, eg. VW up! Would want to keep it for at least 5 years if possible.

Is it worth just digging deeper and just going 2nd hand on an electric?
I'm worried about the battery warranty implications on this.

Just wondered what the hive-mind consensus is... and if combustion will be taxed off the roads in the next few years.

Looks like there's other colour coding with sleeves going on beyond yellow.
Dubplates?

You need headphones.

Not for mixing.

TBH I would argue if you mix records and stand directly in front of speakers it's never going to be an audiophile experience with proper imaging and dynamics. They are just monitors really.

Actually on Tescos vans

Nice, I'm getting closer to finally getting some Cheviots.
Just trying to persuade myself the rooms big enough (which it isn't) and the Mrs will be fine with them (which she's not).

I don't remember how high-end your gear is but I reckon there's better places to spend that money to hear a perceivable difference.

Moving to the bay of fleas.

:Closed:

@villa-ru I can see some water features.

Cook up some beats in there:

Brand new, still in packaging & never fitted. I'll also throw in all the fitting and wall plugs which I brought separately. I paid £62 but you all get LFGSS rates - so let's say £30. Pickup from N14, more posted.

@ReekBlefs

The outlook is looking a lot better than last year's predictions and mortgage deal rates are still (slowly) dropping. I'm trying to take the 'experts' views and gloomy news rhetoric with a pinch of salt.

BTW a book that's helping shift my thinking lately is The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable. The book focuses on the extreme impact of rare and unpredictable outlier events—and the human tendency to find simplistic explanations for these events, retrospectively.
