Progress of sorts

Like any home DIY project, half your time is taken up doing the job and the other half is spent running back to the store to pick up the forgotten bits that you need to complete it.

That's happened to me these last couple of days. I made a list at the start but found I needed extras. Plus the job has expanded to include renewal of the chain-link fence at the bottom of the garden. When we cleared all the overgrown vegetation away, we found there were more holes in it than my socks! That must be were the moggies were getting in.

Anyway, the fence panels are up down the side of the garden, and very new they look too. We're miffing off all the local bird population at the moment. We've got wild bird feeders in the garden, but with us spending most of the day in there they can't get in to them. They sit up in the trees, looking down their beaks at us, chirupping away and telling us off for being there. When we go inside for a hot drink, they're soon down.

The wife was shutting the garage door tonight and I did'nt get out of the way quick enough, so got a bang on the head.

Ouch!
