Dull but it does seem to have stopped raining - 36 hours of good rain was lovely and the grass has all greened-up again. 
Bit Autumnal down ere. Forecast says iffn you don't like the weather just wait half an hour an a different flavour will be along

more like. I reckon he’s bin oot canvassing for the SNP x
That too is exactly what I had to do around the pool in places. subsidence cause by a bloody mole. Had to lift 42 slabs, 10% of the total. Not funny. Put down a wettish cement and sand mix, 4 to 1.
So best of British to you and i do feel your pain.
Yer but TBH I think the only way of doin that would be to excavet a big yole thejn lay a reinforced slab, then put the jobbies on top of that. Lots of wuk, nay?
Did you read my reply to @Hippo (I think) where I described how we transport our three cockers on the back seat of a car, all securely harnessed in? They love it and we can then ram the boot with stuff too.
Wot's "shale"? We used scalpings on our front drive int UK. They is good when compressed properly. Weed barrier , good quality, helps too.When eye had me gate posts fitted they sed there wurn't much shale and sand under neef. Eye fink it was done over 20 years ago or a bit more, on the cheap. Eye dun't want to pay for replacement assits about 3,000 sovs. Eye has watched peeps on youtoob lift and put more shale under then compress, un purrit all back. Finking ov trying that on a patch to see how it goes. Dunt help when ants pull oot me sand.
Such a shame it disappeared off the syllabus at our place. The poor wee snowflucks found it too hard!
And where the feck have you bin? You durdy stop out!!!Hey up you lot hows tricks, all good eye hope.
Good to see you back!!!

Small rocks yer use as the base. MOT type 1 they call it. But it looks like shale oft the beach to me.
Just had our front done. Bottom was hardcore, bricks and whatnot, thoroughly whacked down. Then hoggin, well whacked. Then sand and the pavers was laid on that. Then whacked again, then kiln sand and a final whack and sealant.
You must be whacked out!!!
So scalpings is smaller then?
