A rare perfect Saturday afternoon.

Six nations,a beer and a log burner.

Pity Wales are behind.

So disappointing to be reading a 'whodunnit' and found that the puppy did. That puppy needs more discipline or less sharp teeth.

Nice walk along the Llangollen Canal. Not sure whether it felt safer on foot or on a boat a few years ago. Incredible bit of engineering finished the same year as the battle of Trafalgar.

There's a big plug in it so they can drain it to check it's condition.

Because it is a world heritage site or whatever and the railings are cast iron if any are unsafe and have to be re cast they have to fit in the same unsafe manner.

nice run this morning

flowed by a great yoga session a few hours later
yoga is particularly awesome after a run, really great for stretching

trouble is, I'm feeling that relaxed now all I want to do is put the air con on full, pull the blinds down & sleep for the rest of the day

I spent much of today at an "Artisan bread making" course run by an ex-colleague who also escaped the EA. Di now runs Aston Parish Bakery and is a member of the global "Bread Angels" organisation.

Homemade bread now to go with tonight's St Valentine's dinner with @Mrs Holwell

View attachment 629860View attachment 629858 Been on with a few jobs at home. Ripped shitty old stinky dog carpet up courtesy of the previous owners Tight arses hadn’t put any underlay down either

Ripped old fecked gas heater off the wall, pulled flue out, bricked up and patched up. Cut pipe out and tidied up floor.

Took smelly old dog hair riddled curtains down and burned them Got rid of old skirting boards while I was at it.

Put underlay down, laminate floor, new skirting boards. Next job sort the fecking stupid light fitting, bit of filling, fettling and hiding the bodges and decorate

Underlay under laminate? Everydays a school day.

Went to find one of our pigs that had decided not to pig in one of the arks that we bought for her...

She had made a lovely nest, and had about 16 piglets.
I took her some straw and some food.

Went to YAMS
didn't take any photos.

Saw @Nearly @Drillman @Spud and someone I can't remember their forum name...


We've been given a JCB 3CII
Went to try and get it started to drive it back to the yard so we can low loader it home.
Had it cranking but not fast enough...

It hasn't moved for about 3 years.

Nice walk up to high force waterfalls with the family

After a disastrous Sunday lunch here

in Barnard Castle. The veg tasted burned and the meat wasn’t the best either

Underlay under laminate? Everydays a school day.

Yes floor was not level so underlay helped get rid of change in levels a bit. Dining room is extension on the side of the house and was cold before, and it has helped make room a bit warmer imho. Only cost 45 quid for the underlay so was worth it.

We complained and got the money back but it really was bad. But the pint [emoji481] was very good so I couldn’t work out how they could do good beer but very bad food

OK..it was last week.... but so much more fun than the day job. Hedge laying in Devon!
I`m not thinking of a career change but it was very therapeutic!!
Took the thick stuff for firewood, burnt the brash, cleaned the ditch out.....farmer chap over the road is scheduled to top the field.
