Good luck with relaying the decking.
I quite like it, but not in searing heat! and the last lot I did the wood was p!ssed as an Irish man on St Patricks day!
But tis very satisfying and comfortable.
Tell me, is that stuff non-slip, seeing its around a pool and all?

When it was first laid it was great and Yes not slippy:).

I have a few of those Irish boards too:), but hopefully enough good 1s to do what we need, as we have decided on a slightly smaller area;).

If they payed more to drive food I would jump ship for a few months.but you get more abuse from the warehouses than I do now.
Sometimes I like a clean job..
Today’s jobs were
household waste to a power station(it made me heave .... now that’s bad for me)
Plaster board to recycle centre
collect more household waste for delivery Monday... now that will hum after a few days

One of our neighbours bought slabs to go round their pool expressly so they'd be non-slip. They are lethal I nearly slipped over myself once. How can they do that?
Maybe it's cos they is Parisians!;)
 
Lovely morning to air the caravan out, been folded up two years but still smells nice insideView attachment 243347

Been putting water repellent on the caravan today, bloody hot but best time to do it, had it four years and this is the first time I've treated it, lovely dry little caravan and sleeps six when all folded out, it's like a pop up book and folds away neatly. Hopefully be out in August for a weekend at the Astle Park traction rally
 
As promised, some pics of the place as found after so long away and the work little Stan has been doing.
Flipping fruit trees and others grown so high we can't even see the mountains.:(

I did wave ;).(just after the level crossing) But hey I wave to most landrovers & flash them in as they struggle past.
At least it’s not you twin landrover again
If I didn't wave back I was probably doing in excess of 25mph and it's too dangerous to only have one hand on the steering wheel at those sorts of speeds. I was on me way to Hereford or on the way back or lost:D
 
Yesdi's operation hotfix card board trick went ok. Not too sure how much it restricted heat going int as eye weren't there to feel the window int side. One strip of card felled oft. I has been finking more about this after measuring the temp oat side and int side. It can measure the same but feels cooler oat side assit's moving air. The moving bit makes it feel cooler when it ain't. So that has got me finking. Me air sucker was sucking hot air out. When yer int baff, adding cold water makes a biggerer change sooner than adding hot. So am gonner suck cold air int from oat side in stead. Eye put some mesh over me fan this morning so it din't suck int the flying bastids. Did ok but could do wiv a biggerer fan. But eye is still eggsperimenting.
 
Well last night's trick worked, let's hope i works again tonight.
Shut the bedroom door, opened the door out onto the loggia (Posh, eh?)
And opened the window which has mosquito netting covering it.
Left it a good long while to cool down with the light off.
Went upstairs later in the dark. Took a deep breath in, opened the door went in and shut it behind me, closed the loggia door, then popped the light on, breathed normally, closed the window and sprayed the room with fly spray. There were two flies visible, that was all. Nothing alive when we went to bed!
Same this evening, just went up to the room, and again only two flies visible.

So crossed fingers.
:D:D:D
 
You're only saying that.
They are also god's creatures just like the K9's and they do have a place in this world. Just not anywhere near you. ;) :D
You are correct and that is why I have made arrangements for them to be re-homed with @Wimblowdriver in exchange for his wood pigeons (don't tell him that woodpigeons don't live round 'ere 'cos we don't 'ave the right habitat). :D:D:D
