I finally got my head around to make a keezer. It was long hunt to actually get a chest freezer donor as for the first 4 weeks of lock-down they were sold out everywhere. OK few available on eBay but at silly price £400+ for a 200L. I finally got one for reasonable price, picked up all my timber, paint, screwed leftovers from other projects. It took me four evenings to complete it. You could really do it in one evening (6h or so) if you don't want to pain it and don't have 5yo son who constantly misplace your tools .

So here t is, my Lockdown achievement:

A park 20 minutes from our house, my wife decided she wanted to walk around the lake, a keen angler, watching fish topping in a lake where we aren't allowed to fish. It was a torture and 2 hours out of my life walking around it.

Australia though, so 97C in the shade and insects that'll the bite your head off if the snakes don't get you first.

Actually got below zero last 2 nights running, 14 C was the days top temperature, as for snakes, very few people are killed by snakes, they prefer retreat not attack. Leeches and ticks are the worst insects (don't know what a leech is) I have encountered both, wait for an animal or human to walk past and attatch them selves. I have red backs in the garden if I don't bother them they won't bother me.
Where I took the picture there is an infestation of kangaroos, they are everywhere and not afraid of humans. Now they can be dangerous.

Refloored the bathroom last week though took a few days having to remove sanitary ware, replace radiator and put it back together.
Something a bit more simple this time as the table is 15 years old and has been given the works by all 4 of our children so stripping it back to give it a bit of rejuvenation.

I've kept working myself as our company went to extreme measures to keep the factory open keeping shift staff on the floor and everyone else working from home only gradually bringing essential personal back as needed. Unfortunately I work shifts so back on four nights tomorrow night.
