It has been a tad busy and noisy and hot here today.

Pavement repair men arrived at about 7am to start repairing pavements.
8am or thereabouts the builder arrived to continue lifting and relaying my patio.
10am, not wishing to be left out of the commotion, a removal van arrived at the house opposite.

On one of the hottestest day of the year, playing "keep moving vehicles" up and down the road, according to where the men are mending the pavement, is not, in my opinion, very much fun at all. The other game we played was relay the patio, in the original pattern, when you forgot to take a photo of the layout, and lots of the slabs have been cut to shape.

On a brighter note, long story short, I was given an owl by the lady who moved in opposite.

Hi Wol, how's things?

It's not as though injury, loss of a leg for instance, will bother it though.

There's always gorilla glue for that LOL

This could become normal for my Fridays. Everyone needs a hobby.

Looked into getting a PPL when I was in Manchester, was a fraction away from sticking the cost on Billy Barclaycard.......

Morning. I was woken by what I thought was the sound of rain. It was only the wind getting up. It did however prepare me for the rain which finally appeared later . We haven't had much , just enough to leave a few small puddles . No thunder or lightning .

...the villagers enjoyed the silence.

Really odd editing of the photos.

Just managed to catch the last bit of the eclipse last night due to a break in the cloud . I was just in time to see the last bit of the Earth's shadow leaving the Moon . It looked quite fascinating !

The café was still there when I was checking the route on Google maps a few weeks ago. Still looks good and has good reviews.

It's blowing a hooley here, I'm not looking forward to the commute.

Today I shall mainly be tying flies for my Montana fly fishing trip.

I thought I’d add the bit about the fly fishing trip ‘cos I expect most of you were picturing me tying their legs and wings together so I could stick pins in them

I was just wondering how many man owls are lost due to people having to kreckt wrong worms that often appear when writing ?
