Went out doing drive by viewings, but had no luck as they were doing roadworks everywhere and we couldn't get through.
Had to abandon plans for today and head for the pub - Royal Oak at Luxborough - where we had a decent lunch.
Got back on site and our gas wasn't working. A quick knock on the bulkhead regulator seems to have cured it.:okay:
Meanwhile, there's no water on site as the workmen are here chasing a leak. I saw the farmer and he said it has cost him an extra £2500 this month!:eek:
He's hoping that it will be sorted by this evening. We should be OK as I've got a full 51 ltr butt connected to the van. Might have to forego my shower tonight, though.

Second coat of emulsion on chimney breast.Oiled the garden bench and the frame in the stupid heat.Then while relaxing i noticed a blister at eye level on the fireplace,so i busted it and then i had to polyfilla it,oh the joys of diy.So tonight before bed it needs a tickle over or it might show through the final coat tomorrow.The plug is for a shelf i have not missed any filling.

Must be painful.

Thought this may stir some memories

This could have been written about my child hood.The street party to celebrate VE Day.The coronation I was born in February 1941 Last week I was in Loughborough and walked down the street where I lived All the houses are now student accommodation Cars line both sides of the street Back in the day t.here was only one resident who owned a car.No playing football or cricket in the street not there are any oh the houses are occupied by families

Just clearing the rooftops here. Supposed to be best to view around midnight.

Any meteors spotted/sighted?

Paul SB's photos of super moon are very nice. Occasionally "Her Indoors" decides to come with me for a little jog/walk ( as she calls it) around the estate we live in. I frequently do laps of it alone in the wee small hours as its well lit and if I run out of steam or mended metatarsal foot gives a twinge, I can walk home . Tonight " Her Indoors" was jogging along nicely till we turned a corner by a little bridge with a stream and she caught sight of the moon. She stopped... and I queried why? . " I am going to pray to the moon" she declares . I lapped her about 12 times as she stood gazing up at the moon. Cats often come out of the shadows and follow her in the darkness and now she is praying to the moon. I will be wary next Halloween

What's she like with insects?
