Fitting Plantation Shutters

After giving this newfangled VAX carpet cleaner a go, I now know why the missus shouts at me when walking through the house with wellies!

Buying plants at the garden centre, spent more than a day on the piss!

Just made five gallons of elderflower wine, will do two gallons as champagne also don't three litres of cordial. Never seen elderflowers like it, Blackberry season will be epic if we get some rain later.

0730 this morning washed and polished the wife's red Ferrari (fiat panda)

Busy day for me. Cleaned the fridge in my shed because a 2 litre bottle of coke exploded during the night, cut down a small tree in the front garden and then started to paint lodger number 2’s bedroom.

Spent 3 hours this morning helping the farmer ring lambs.

A nice walk from Dartington to Totnes and back, with lunch on the green down from the bridge.

My expanding hose pipe blow up last night when watering the garden

Bored of this rain now.

just about to drop the anchor at Oostdyck

First green shoots in my attempt to grow peppers are showing.

Lit the wood burner last night FFS.

Didn't realize that lambs had phones to start with.....

They're quite tech savvy around here, Zyphers.

Are you trying to pull the wool over my eyes.....just sounds so phoney.... .

I hate lamb ringing always makes me walk cross legged for an hour or two. I had to delouse the chicken shed last night horrible little feckers they are. Usually they come out in August after hot sultry weather or dog days as they are known.

Been watching the local Peregrines this morning who have just fledged. Three noisy little feckers eating a Jackdaw that Dad supplied them they are sat in a tree about fifty metres from the house. Last year they fledged later and it was pissing down and only one survived.
I also found a young Pipistrlelle bat floating on his back in a pan full of water outside the shed, I've dried him off and put him in the porch. He's a lucky little bleeder.

Our new neighbour, Dave, popped his head over the garden fence this morning for a chat and say hello. Everyone say Hi to Dave.

Lucky you. Three months now and still chasing Emirates and currently in an ongoing saga with Virgin Atlantic.

Took a voucher from EasyJet as that’ll always come in useful.
