Ah bin renderin me wall yesterday. Ah dint start till late. Ah bort sticks like sh!t ter stick me metal fing across ferra corna. Add ter stand an old it while it dried ah bit. Then fings just started goin wrong from there ont. Me drill wernt charged enuff fer mixin so eye add ter keep swoppin betweem batteries while puttin t'other ont charge ferrabit. Bag ses ter add mix ter wata so eye added wata ter mix. Wata be frompt me wata but un fresh felled this week. Me fud lite be used whennit be dark anorl.
Mixin be difficult as eye couldn't get me mixin spiral fing into the botton of the mix that be dry un so eye poked it wivver stick. Ah gave tup fightin it int end as eye gorrinuf mix mixed erbove it ter use. Eye were toppin tup with wata but wata un bin careful ter not put too much int but eye did. After givin tup with the bottom dry bit eye opened ernuvva bag un put some int ter soak tup wata. It wurked so eye got gowin.
Fust job be strugglin ter lift bucket ont scaf olding. Ah used me saw orse assan arf way point. Got me plasterin towel un holding fing un started. Eye beer fully train'd int renderin as eye wotched skills builder ont youtube. Ah gorrid me fust bit ootar me buckit un messed wivvit ont me holdin fing liker feshnul scrapin it erbout un gerrin it ont right sider towel ter spread ont wall. Eye be wurkin ont principle of gerrin it ter stay tup, which means it be ok. Yer can use the holdin fing against said wall ter help catch bits fallin anorl.
Eye int seen it yet but it be good enuff fer makin me wall wata puff ergen. When finished eye add too much left so eye spread some tovver anuvva bit till all gone. Then came the clean tup. Me bucket addan incher dry renda ut bottum. Eye dug frew about 2 inch previously un give tup. So eye dug that oot me bucket wivva garden fork un purrit int bag ah got me renda int. Washed me towel un bucket int wata but wata. Wiped me slippers ont grass un packed everyfink erway.
While packing tup eye cud ear screams from basil and his friend. Ah weighted ferrabit wiv me fone oot ter take er pic but he be not jumped int ma castle grounds. That could be because me fud lite be ont.
While eye be doing tall this eye add me denumiddifruer int ma hippo taking oot the wata int him as he steams tup after using his eater when wevva be cold un eye leave him parked. Eye also addan eater int there which eye ocasionally purront to keep the temp tup fer dehughmiddifryin. Tother times the fans were just circling air. Tall be ok an we gorrid 140ml of wata oot ma hippo.
Later int me gate padlock be stuck. After fytin wiv that ma hippo started fust time an eye drove him ercross me drawd bridge un switched him toft. Then shut un locked ma gate. Then ma hippo were too tied ter start. Had er go ut turnin but norri nuf as he be tied assit beer long day. So eye adter wait fer him ter charge er bit. Ah need ter purra socket ont wall int hall way as there not be one. This were ut 10pm. Ah stood wotchin the clowds go past the moon ferrabit waitin. Ah then got ma hippo started. Left runnin while disconncted his food sause then switched him oft ter go un unplug. Then got him started ergen un went round the block ter charge him some more.
So next time eye won't ferget ter put him ont charge while dehumiddifryung him as garn in un oot of him put lites ont. Eye will start renderin earlier than 3pm and ah will add the mix ter wata intstead.

9pm tonite channel 4, Guy Martin gonna do a remake of the Great Escape mocycle jump originally done by Steve McQueen (acsherly done by Bud Ekins, his stunt double and motorcycle sport buddy). Should be worth a look as there's nowt else on worth wochin).
An interesting 'bird' observation.
The front door of my bungalow is on the north end and as I have cuddled up my motorhome to it in order to leave much of the rest of the space available for other vehicles etc., this has left a 'corridor' outside the front door.
Over the last few weeks I have noticed that there has been an accumulation of bird droppings gathering on the floor outside the door (which we rarely use as we have two more convenient alternative ones on the rear).
Last evening, when taking the dogs out for their late night piddly-pee, I shone the torch up to the eaves to see if I could find out where they were coming from and guess what, hidden right up under the apex of the roof was a collection little birds! I could not tell if they were sparrows or blue tits as they were all huddles together.
This morning, I went out to take this photo and I do believe there is one fellow still in bed - at noon! I still can't make out if it is a sparrow or a blue tit. Why they have chosen this place and on a north-facing wall, I cannot imagine as we have hundreds of more and better places around the property.

No. That is directly into the roof space and there is certainly no heat up there! Brrr, I even have to put a fleece on if I go up there.
