Removed the awful decaying bamboo screening, and replaced rotten sections of decking boards. I wasn't able to get an exact match, so the thickness and groove pattern are slightly different. I'll probably use some spacers to level them out.

The fence I went round the other side and reattached any loose boards with decking screws.

I used the pressure washer to remove a lot of the old flaking paint, then brushed and vacuumed the old flakes away, then sprayed with a decking sprayer. Just the screwfix no nonsense garden paint and decking stain for the fence and deck respectively, really impressed by the coverage and colour and how easily it went on, even on the bits I had to do with a brush to avoid getting overspray on neighbours' fences and sheds.

Overall quite pleased with the result. It's an old deck so it'll never look new but hopefully it'll give it a good few more years.

I signed up for this month's ago and I'm still not in. Every time I log into the app to check my waitlist, I'm some random number in the 3000s, and not always lower than last time. Why is this do you know?

The rider didn't break a single UK traffic law

In the UK filtering between lanes is both legal, encouraged, and widely accepted on both motor bikes and bicycles

Lots of Americans in this thread. This sort of riding is legal and encouraged in the UK and can be done quite safely. Cycling groups put out videos showing these techniques: https://youtu.be/VNr762i9oQU

Obviously it's a fairly seasoned cyclist thing, and more and more cycle infrastructure is being rolled out so people don't have to do this, but I do object to people from North America in this thread applying their laws and cultural norms to another country where this is quite normal

Filtering is legal and encouraged in the UK. There are cycling UK videos showing this technique as best practice. Please don't bring your US centric views to a UK video if you don't understand our laws

Really wish there was more content. I've been trying to post stuff but I never get any comments either. Anything other than the few mainstream communities is just dead

More video is uploaded every minute than anyone can ever watch in a lifetime. It costs money to store and serve all that.

Thank you! Noticing the Hot feed is no longer useless!

Hope the flat went ok. The system is such a pain

I'm subscribed to quite a few communities now but my subscribed feed is still pretty barren. Whether I sort by hot or active I'm seeing the same few posts a lot of the time, often with very few upvotes or comments. I also see months old posts popping up again and again. There is a post on one community with -39 score from 8 months ago that I see every time I open the app. And one from 3 years ago with one comment from months ago.

All feed isn't much better for me either.

I mean most consumers don't care about those 🤷‍♀️

Had some Pesto left over from dinner, decided to try an old tiktok trend. You just coat a frying pan with pesto, and on a medium low heat just crack some eggs into it and fry them in the pesto. Super easy and super tasty!

Interesting fungus. Sadly full of maggots as you can see in the photo, so nothing for the dehydrator today.

There are 2x50l panniers that attach to the rails, otherwise can use bungees and such to attach things, or add a box on top etc
