I'm hoping to be garden busy very soon if my workmen have pulled their fingers out. They think that they will finish Friday now.

Honestly my garden is the size of a postage stamp!!

My front break cable on my bromie has seized up, time for a little repair me thinks!

Careful with that safety pin.

Other than managing to sneak back in past summerday's barricades, it's been one of *those* days but on the garden theme, I have been productive and emailed a couple of places for quotes for materials a raised bed, worked out how much soil/compost I'll need and am waiting to hear back what the delivery costs will be*. Might need to get someone to double check the maths before I hand over any cash...!

*Local recycling people sell the compost from garden waste - 40 litre bags for £4 or three for a tenner.

Well done Jo, i can see those fingers are turning a nice shade of green

My pergola is up, it's rather tall but that's fine and it will make a great climbing frame for Henry. I will post a picture when the landscapers have gone. I now need 2 tonnes of topsoil instead of 1 i am told.

Ah - a proper German breakfast!

Yep
I prefer Danish dogs to German ones though. Much nicer.
But I had to do the Black Adder 'German sausage' thing

Are you back to drinking proper beer now ?

Is that your 'come hither' pose Rocky? It needs a bit of work IMHO...

(That's what I've been doing wrong )

I'm on a 7% Dutch IPA. Very nice it is too. It whiles the time away while it's

Stand down. I got the maths hopelessly wrong.

I need some decent ladders as i have to paint this now but at least once i have some established climbing greenery i will have a bit more privacy.

Henry checking the work quality.
