    Started a part time job at the Slate Museum in Ellenabeich demonstrating techniques used in the industry in years gone by.
    Here's a shot of me at work.

    You don't need to diet and can eat semlor at lib. Very slender. And such a full head of hair! Nice scarf you are wearing too. A tribute to me, I understand. 😀

    What is he doing? Too small a chisel to be quarryman. Mason?

    EDIT Sorry I didn't welcome you to the new site, Dave!.. and mention that the coffee is on and breakfast served ... I confess that the icon attached to the thread being the last responder instead of the poster has sometimes confused me as to who I am responding to!.. I'll try not to make that error again!!.. but it is a habit from DPR ..

    A great trade to fall back on, Dave. There are always houses to be roofed. Rich

    Pleased you noticed the colours of the Swedish flag Charlotte. Basically they used to take a large lump of slate and using a hammer and chisel cut it into thin slices for roof tiles.

    Thanks WN. I'm still a bit confused by this new site but anything new confuses me these days. Rich seems to believe that all Celts have similar hair and I didn't want to disappoint him.

    Leaving me with a hammer and chisel is a recipe for a serious injury Rich.

    Yeah. Surely it isn't on purpose? Or?

    Quoted message:

    Ah.I thought the chisel looked so small.

    You type in the the quotes, Dave. I can't write square brackets. They would be interpreted. I use curly braces instead. There's a start tag {quote} and a closing tag, {/quote}.

    You can type here.
    
    {quote}
    This is the quote. You can edit it, short it down and so on, but everything between these tags will be rendered as a quote.
    {/quote}
    
    And you can type here too.
    
    {quote}
    And you can split the quote up if you want.
    {/quote}
    
    And answer each bit separately.

    Ok, I need to ask, is that a mannequin or a person?? A fine image Dave. Too much like work though! I did chisel a few pieces of flagstone but that is it for my try at 'bustin' rocks in the hot sun'!

    I thought that it was our ex prime minister Boris Johnson and that he has dyed his hair 🤗
