Thought that would get your attention.


There is a knif sharpener Sharpsmith in SE22 - anyone used them? Get fed up of Garden Centres shrugging their shoulders, in particuarky one of the big ones in SE23 just telling me to buy new garden tools. I'be got some proper British Sheffield made shears.

not sure whether they're made to tolerate sharpening any more - i got a pair of Wilkinson's shears sharpened at one of the local garden centres (one of those now gone to make way for developers!) and they just snapped soon after. if you're suggesting that "proper British Sheffield made shears" are exempt from planned obsolescence, i very much doubt it!

There comes a time for all knives when sharpening is no longer enough and they need a good grinding*.


There was a bloke in a van who dropped leaflets off and collected, ground and returned knives, shears etc. - maybe someone has his no.

    • Have you considered PIV - positive input ventilation. We retro fitted a Soler & Palau super quiet in-line fan system. This takes cool air from the outside ans is ducted into the loft. It is really quiet and very efficient. It is controlled by a reverse thermostat ie one which shuts the system off when the temperature drops to a set level. We are very pleased with it especially as it costs a fraction of a/c and provides greater flexibility in terms of location of vents and ducting.
    • If you’re into nature or just love trees, this lovely program is worth catching up on https://www.channel5.com/show/the-secret-life-of-trees It’s one of those quietly fascinating watches that leave you thinking about the world a bit differently. I had no idea that trees are connected underground by fungal networks. They use them to share nutrients, water, and even to send signals to each other. They can recognise their kind and give more support to their “relatives” than to other trees nearby. They can also remember things like droughts or pest attacks and change how they respond in the future. No wonder so many cultures and spiritual traditions view trees as sacred. In some belief systems, cutting one down is thought to carry serious karmic consequences. When you learn about how they live, communicate, and support one another, it makes sense. The natural world is far more aware and interconnected than we tend to realise.
    • I installed an all-in-one air conditioning unit at my holiday home since I wasn’t allowed to have an external fan unit outside. It actually works just as well, was easier to fit, and although it’s slightly noisier, it’s a good solution overall. https://www.orionairsales.co.uk/all-in-one-air-conditioning-142-c.asp?srsltid=AfmBOopZSVZj1_utAO-Hr4m5M323nRZru6Zmf1YuT4KP2touJ2OLaruU
