It’s been over a month since I last posted, and have been averaging 1 a month for a while now!!!! There are a number of reasons for this some are personal which I feel don’t need to be shared here (those who know me will know what they are). One of the main things that [...]

Shovelling Sh*t

Had a load of manure dropped at the allotment today and had to move it to the compost bins. That was good warm work. Also pulled down what remained of the shed greenhouse. The standalone green house stood up to the gales really well. Tomorrow I go for my blood and eye tests.

Delayed festive greetings

Happy Christmas. Just thought I’d quickly let you know what I’ve been up to – had a great Christmas day, good food good wine and good company. Worked it all off on Boxing Day by digging down on the allotment. Stabbed myself on the hand while sharpening a knife to take the meat off the [...]

Buzzy Barry

Barry bunny is a house rabbit. This means that he lives inside our house. He has a hutch in the kitchen and during the day is allowed to roam free in the kitchen unless Jo is in when he is allowed to follow her (her rules not mine – until he chews one of my [...]

2 Projects for Xmas

Jo usually assigns me a project to do around the house in the run up to Xmas. You will know from previous posts that last month I took a week off work and decorated the eldest’s bedroom. Naturally I thought that was the project and that it was completed early. In fact you could say [...]
