How scary, who found the poor soul?

I can't remember. :|
He was in his car, with his throat cut.
It was recently brought up again with two other murders in a cold case investigation.


Did it give you nightmares? I think it would me.

I do like pallets but I have a bit of wood knocking around.

I am also thinking about smaller projects which can be done indoors.

No, but it did make me feel very unsafe for a while.
My small town went into terror with three murders in a very short time.
Someone was arrested for the other two and it turned out to be someone I'd been working with.

I'd love to do some raised beds, but my garden has very narrow paths with sharp corners that make me swear if I try to navigate a wheelbarrow around them, so it needs to be made more wheelie friendly first.
Difficult, since it's all concrete borders and paved paths.

The other option is to make a new garden somewhere else.

I like them.
You could even fill those side bits with soil and have a vertical garden at the same time.

Just have to get around to making all those pallets to then cut up.

Arrr! is imaginary pirate-speak popularized by Robert Newton who played both Long John Silver and Blackbeard in the 1950s. Newton exaggerated his West Country accent, as in ‘Arr, yer a good ‘un, Jim,’ which is his pronunciation of ‘Aw, you’re a good ‘un, Jim.’” :P

Timbers are the various wood structural pieces that make up the ship’s hull and support the decks and, according to Little, they -did shiver, meaning they splintered and shattered, as in “shivered to pieces.” However, the phrase was not commonly used by pirates. It first appears in print in the late 18th century, and was first popularized by novelist and naval officer Francis Marryat in the early 19th century. Robert Louis Stevenson’s Long John Silver made it famous in “Treasure Island.” :P

yo ho ho: Fiction. Well, mostly. It was not a common pirate phrase, Little said, but it did derive from the sea chant “Yo ho,” used when hauling or heaving. It was popularized in “Treasure Island.”
