Thread: I've sat down and can't get up.

Do you have another cider to hand?

Do you have a gas fire with remote control?

Yes, I have another cider, but as i generally only go through one carton a year, if I were to have two in one sitting I don't like my chances of finding my way back to the house!

And no, no heating in the shed at all.

Drinking Mercury could inspire you to be the better person who wouldn’t leave his workshop in such a state. Or worry about that that insignificant blip in the weather you laughingly refer to as “winter”.

From their website:

Days were defined by Antarctic winds, back-breaking work, untameable weather, and dealing with a bunch of convicts and misfits. Life was anything but easy.
So it’s no surprise these circumstances bred a unique type of man. One that had a bucket load of strength and a fist full of courage. One that saw a problem and just went about fixing it. And one that was happy to boldly stepup to whatever challenges old Mother Nature threw their way.
Brewed strong, Mercury was the drink that these men drank.

Lance,

I’m sorry,but being a fellow cider drinker,(can’t stand beer tastes like s....)I can’t think of anything remotely interesting to say.
I reckon you just sit there, enjoy the view, don’t worry about squiggly squat at all.
We’re all on the big rock.that we can’t control and it’s still spinning in space last time I checked.
Alls good I reckon mate.

Cheers Matt.

@lappa you're an evil man. Firstly those scraps are destined as kindling for the inside fire, and secondly I don't know that when standing before the Judge on arson charges the excuse of "lappa told me to" will suffice.

@Chief Tiff now you've made me feel decidedly soft. That Mercury blurb reminded me about stories of the old "piners", the chaps who used to harvest the Huon Pine in days past. These men would buy a bag of rice, then disappear into the wet Tasmanian wilderness for three months or so through winter. Totally self sufficient. The conditions must have been horrific. Yet watching interviews with them as old men, they describe it as the best days of their lives.

@Simplicity you're not wrong. One of the most liberating concepts for me was to understand my circle of control, and slightly more expansive circle of influence. Any issue outside of those, I just whistle my merry tune and let be what will be. I enjoyed my hour or so of just being a passenger on our shared rock hurtling through space this evening. Then it got too cold and I went inside. [emoji300]

As a general rule, when I even start to think about any adult beverage I leave the shop (a.k.a. Shed). When I'm not thinking about what I'm doing, it is time to leave and keep all ten.

Lucky you weren't here in Queensland. You might be still sitting in your shed contemplating another cider.
