It's a clear and sunny day 'ere. I was allowed a lie in today - 6.30 before 'e asked to go out.
I've now booked a week away in my tin tent (at last) but mid July was the only available space.
Enjoy your day, folks, For 'some', it is the week of 'selling the house' so good luck wi' that.

Just had me second zap of anti walrus injection. 23 degrees in the car park waiting for a reaction before I can toddle off. The staff at the centre are brilliant wibble

I sacked the Gym off so I can get the mini-Barn painted.
I shall be a crispy-critter by teatime.
A local firm has quoted me what I think is a decent price to clean and recolour/reseal our pattern-imprinted concrete patio (£500).
It was laid down in 2008 and has never been re-sealed/coloured since, so it is about time.
Currently it looks real carp, but it used to look like this....

Yes, I have always liked pattern-imprinted rather than block-paving. I think the whole landscaping, dig out for the concrete and sleeper wall was about £8k in 2008.

Now I will start painting.

...and all the feather-edge board painting is also done.
Let that dry off and then we can paint the wall white.
Patio "refurb" on the 5th July.

Have to admire you!
At least you didn't pull a hair out of yourself, put it in the salad and claim a freebie as some do. (See various Merkin websites)
