Morning all, the flooring finally turned up at 8.45 last night. Today is sunny but much cooler^_^^_^. MrsP has already got her work cardigan on as she was cold this morning going to work:cold:
I shall be meeting my son later for a Burritto and a couple of pints. :cheers: I also need to get some threaded coachbolts to replace the screws on the shed door hinges to try and make it a bit more secure, any would be thief could just unscrew the hinges and bypass the security locks on the door. Doh.
Two nuts on each bolt, acting as lock nuts.

I have spent the last hour standing in a muddy and extremely smelly pond. Due to lack of rain, the pond is only half as deep as it should be and the heron is finding it easy to stand in the middle and pick the fish off one by one so Mr WD wanted to put string across the pond to prevent the heron from landing.

So i had to stand on one side of the pond while Mr WD stood on the other and we criss crossed heavy duty cord from one side to the other while pulling it taught around sticks in the mud.

I nearly lost my wellies 2 or 3 times. Nearly lost my balance 2 or 3 times even though i had a long metal pole to hold onto, and it was quite difficult to get back out of the pond. It would have been easier if my legs were a foot longer than in fact they are. And it is hissing down with rain. :laugh:

I ended up buying a new Bosch cordless drill and a box set of drills and bits. They were on offer at Robert Dyas. I have been thinking of getting one for sometime now, so I took the plunge.

I take it you didn't manage to topple over in the pond?
