    Hope the weather picks up for your bash CTC - it's like a wet windy storm here.

    Really sorry you didn't get the job Lucielle. That's a bummer. As you say it's their loss. Something much better will come along. Fingers crossed. Sorry to hear of your Uncle's passing.

    Just put my leg through the bedroom ceiling!

    I keep missing the good weather to mow in. House must look totally abandoned and forlorn :). Patchy grass, some just longish, some knee deep.

    Hay in the barn now for winter, which sounds good. People are talking Bout a hard winter between march and jan ( or t'other way round). Hay is short here, people keep having to bale for haylage on last days. If it does come to a hard winter I too might end up buying some haylage though it would be a reluctant purchase, its something I do not appreciate feeding, especially for the two particularly good doers here.


    I know I am a bit quiet ATM guys, I'm still here, still chugging along. :). Chipping in so Alfie knows I'm here and love her. :):)

    Never mind lucielle, there's a better job around the corner.;)

    Hope the leg is OK this morning, choille. Ceilings will mend. With lots of stuff still going on in the loft, I'm just waiting for someone to do that now we've done them all!

    I made our hay yesterday. Just enough from the wildflower lawn I left to do the chickens' nest boxes over a year. :rotfl:

    Tired at the mo. Too much going on. I was up & down the motorway yesterday too. Found myself about the only customer in Morrison's near their closing time last night....very eerie!

    Lucielle As you say, clearly their loss. I do strongly believe that what is for you won't go by you so there will be something even better coming soon.

    Alfie I think we should swap weather for a while. We have misty drizzle. I really want to head to the beach, rain or no rain however my family are a bit more delicate and refuse to head out in this weather :(

    Choille How is your leg and your ceiling?

    LIR Glad to see you posting, Alfie is not the only worrier amongst us ;)

    Dave Any chance that you and your DW could grab a night away when the work has settled down to catch your breaths and relax?

    Fay Anything new with you?

    Hello to the other posters (and lurkers) how are you all?

    My legs fine - I had my gut big boots on, bu the ceiling......that's another matter. I used the last of the paint up on it - the Alfie colour, so I have made such a mess of it, but in the grand scheme of things it will be fixed.

    We have that coming up....but it's not really a relax! :o

    Just started work, clearing space for the new oil tank, when the owners of next door showed-up with their hedge cutting gear....so sudden change of plan and, shazam! the leylandii hedge has had a good pruning. :)

    This will help when we have to ease a digger in for drains.:D
