OK, its time for one of those list posts that the interweb sites must have(it’s the law)

It’s really about me but cmon sheddies I am sure some of these things apply to you (or is it just me)

The main thing that comes before this list is to get more unique sheds on readersheds.co.uk for Shed week but thats a given.

• Fix that leak in the shed (properly with planning and thought)
• Plan Shed Week 2009 NOW and not in May 2009 (this year may make some money if I do!!)
• Get the better half more involved in sheds and not just her shed and yes a clean shed is a good shed.
• Eat more vegetables – and this year succeed in growing more of my own
• Cut down on the real-ale (and maybe make my own)
• Try and do more web work from the shed (Not just to keep up with Alex)
• Take more photos and share them just for the sake of it (its not all about stock)
• Smile more and mean it.
• Enjoy more things in life, good food, friends (offline ones as well), family and get a dog and give back to them.
• Stop doing these lists.

Sometimes I hate those RSS feed readers first thing in the morning when I saw this

Why I love Wilco from Boing Boing

in my google home page, I thought finally the world has recognised my wossname, but it was of course a story about the Alt-rock-folk-country-not-sheds band Wilco.

Over the past 24 hours we have not had any electricity over at chez sheddi, after many calls to Mrs Uncle wilco’s brother who knows a few things about that game, we managed to get it down to a fault on the sockets around the house.

So a late night call to a local spark who popped over this morning with his geiger counter like equipment who tested all the wossnames on the circuit breaker, he also concluded that there was a fault on one of the sockets around the house, it could take ages to check each one, then he asked, do you have any outdoor electricity… ah the shed!

so he unconnected the power from the green one and the house, and hey presto we had power in the house again.

The problem was that a bit of damp had got into the shed! so it could have gone up in flames(maybe) anytime.

anyway waiting until a proper isolated system can be added to power the shed again, but its been safely isolated from the rest of the house, so that why i am writing this now.

just to point out, the electricity was added to the shed before I was living here, before it had to be checked out by a qualified electrician by law, so before we will power the shed again, we will be getting Mrs UW brother down to make sure it is all fine.

I am thinking of getting one of those Asus EE PC for writing in the shed and web browsing.

Have any of you sheddies got one, what do you think of it, any tips etc?

Also I would use it for reading books and the like one of those Amazon Kindle

but as I have to wait until it comes out over here in the UK, I think a ultra portable machine would do.

You would think I would want sheds things, but everyone buys me that sort of stuff, be it the Shedmen (of course I would love Alex’s book next year!), postcards of sheds, shed mugs and the like, which is great, but when I have 2 or 3 copies of the stuff it gets a bit wossname.

What I really want is a new camera, Canon EOS 400D to replace my existing one.

My camera still works fine as you can see here, but it’s been over a year since the 400D launched so its about time I adopted, the 10 mega pixels is the winner for me..

Anyway amazon are doing an offer at the moment by Canon EOS 400D Digital SLR Digital Camera and get a Camera Case and a SanDisk 2GB Compact Flash Card FREE.

Now is that a big enough hint Mrs UW?
