So yeah, I was away/sidelined/offline for a few days there.... didja miss me? ;)

Over the weekend I built a couple of boxes. If you can call rectangles with no top or bottom “boxes” -- they're more like four-sided enclosures. What they are actually is frames that will be placed in our yard, filled with soil, and turned into raised gardening beds.

In the past I have built crude bookshelves out of boards and nails, but this job necessitated the use of a drill and screwdriver. Normally if you put either of those tools in my hand it is a recipe for mistakes, marred wood, and swearing. I am not the handiest of folk. Most often if I'm involved in any sort of construction project, my brother-in-law is in charge and I provide token assistance.

But this time, albeit on a project of extreme simplicity and modesty, I did it all by myself and I did fine. No mistakes, no damage, no swearing. So what I'm grateful for today is that I managed to take a baby step forward as a carpenter. It's rather gratifying to see that I can do something like this and not mess it up.

so...

...judging by the first episode, I'd say that the new series of Doctor Who this year is going to do just fine. Who's with me?
