Smutty post of the week awardOur owls hoot n our re@l birds h@ve hooters without @nything w@gging
We gets um. "coolevre" they are called some long, thick and green, prolly grasssnakes, but others are yellow and black diagonal things and still others with diagonal bits on em. Last one got so tangled up in the netting of the cage around our raspberry canes I had to chop its head off first to avoid getting bit then cut it up into smaller bits to get it out.Not loads visible but Yes they are hiding. M thinks 1 is too many
The last 1 I put in the fire drum in a few pieces Cats or birds, I don't know. But as far as M goes its another dead 1

That is a real shame.We got most of the guttering up today. A simple task that has taken two days because I just can't do physical stuff anymore
Really feel for you mate and hope things will get better for you soon.
I only know it'd drive me round the bend.
...as you can prolly tell I is back online propah-like!
We crossed larvelry, about number 5 off the ship an no blasted "douane" in sight to quiz us about the trailer nor nuffin!
Off to mates' daughter's place to park up the trailer. Altho we had discussed length neither of us had thought to discuss width.
Turns out we only we only had 10 mm to spare. Lucky that Brian James trailer comes wiv rubber mounted jobbies which bend a bit when they catch a gatepost.
So parked it up then back to Cherbourg to stay at mates place for a few days. Lovley peeps who look after us so well, cook gluten free food for W and insist on taking us out and about. Had a real good laugh and they are coming to stay with us in June.
Went back to pick up trailer, she lives in a little right angled cul-de-sac and in turning with the trailer to get the rig out I unwisely took the nearside front corner through a bit of a hedge, which unknown to all of us had some wire netting in it. So a new / secondhand indicator lense will be called for. It took about 10 mins, a spare bulbe and a bit of insulating tape to fix it, then on the road fgor about 9 a.m.
Arrived at out place at about 2330 hours to find the spiky hedge we grew to keep burglars out had grown so thick we couldn't get the gate fully open. So we had to garden by moonlight with pair of loppers before we could get the rig in front of the house.
But all this time, including in Cherbourg, the sun shone more or less all day long which was brill.
Up lateish today and doing what you would expect, to empty cars and sort out heating etc. So hot in the sun I wished I was wearing shorts this p.m.
Oh and no one strangled no one, except I could have strangled the dog that decided to do a "whoopsie" on the rear seat during the crossing. Poor thing, she is 98 in human years. Normally we feed them much earlier so all stuff is evacuated, but we hadn't done a day sailing in decades so this got forgotten. No problem, back seat cover specially made for all eventualities came into it's own, went into a bin bag and has since gone though the washing machine. Initial clean up was a bit smelly though! Only the second time ever this has happened to us in about 35 years.
So safe and sound, house warming up nicely. all serene-oh!
Have a lovely Easter Sunday folks!!!!

No chocolate 'ere - ucky stuff - but plenty of lovely sun to keep me very happy.
Morning, tis yet another beautiful day. Have fun on this long weekend
Good to hear you had a fine trip over @Stanleysteamer enjoy your stay!
I wholeheartedly sympathise Brian. I know what you mean. Stuff I used to take in my stride and do so easily now takes forever (that's if I can do it at all!).We got most of the guttering up today. A simple task that has taken two days because I just can't do physical stuff anymore
I do hope your recovery continues and you have further improvements. Take care of yourself.
I find that my other half fusses round me like a mother hen trying to discourage me from even trying to do stuff, when I am raging that I need to be able to do what I have always been able to do.
Its no fun sometimes, but, we are all still here! That's the main thing.
