30th August 2025 - Rain and Comber

Thought for the day :"I was arguing with a guy at a bar. He said he was a big pop star in the 80s. I didn’t believe him, but he was adamant…"

Wet - Very 

More work at the river bridge 








Private road becoming more overgrown



Rained most of the day so did not achieve much today - but Comber joined us in the evening 
Wine may be drunk ...

Cheers

28th August 2025 - And rain and clearing

Thought for the day :"Can’t believe I just lost a race against a Mother Superior, it’s the most embarrassing moment of my life, second to nun."


Wet 


No photos today ...
Was very wet and some heavy showers interspersed with quite hot periods.

Took the kegs back to Mantle and left a poster for the Pink Floyd Night 
Called in on Specsavers to change my contact lenses  to the correct prescription 
and found that they had a cancellation for a sight test - so took the  cancellation and had my eyes tested - apparently it is two years since I last had a test!!

Seems my eyes are still improving - now 1.50 and 1.25  a drop of .25 on each eye.
Also paid for the extra scan and both eyes seems to be fairly healthy ...

Popped in on Marc the Hat at his guitar studio and left a poster and an invite to come to the jam session on Wednesday - he is likely to be too tired after opening the shop all day Thursday.

Called next door to speak to Cerys  - who had been at the tavern over the weekend with the Skeleton Crew... Reminder for self - Matt is the puppeteer who lives in the 600 years old closed pub in Cilgerrin and Toby is the puppet builder who lives next door / near..  Matt with the video projectors is a friend of Olly Baum the tree surgeon.

Dropped a poster into Cardigan Cellar Bar  - though Steve is on holiday. Susie points out that we are holding our event on a Thursday night and that is the night for the open mic at teh cellar bar - but may still give some publicity ..

Was a little careful looking for speed cameras in Cenarth and Llechryd and Newcastle Emlyn as I picked up my medicines from the chemist ...
Sadly all to nought - up the hill in Penrhwyllan  and pretty sure I was doing 27 when I saw the speed camera van .
May be a naughty boy course for me - well I haven't done one before .  

Picked up some chopped wheat from Pets and Ponies and left them a poster ...

But that took the day up and though we had a visit from Sarah who had some lovely photos of her rescue with the Helicopter and a rainbow...







Cheers !

27th August 2025 - Chris Day - not sure I will survive

Thought for the day :"I had a date last night! and I really enjoyed it ,so, tonight I'm going to try a fig.."


Wet 


Chris came again today so first job was to clear the Tavern and put everything back in place.
Then we chopped back the climbing rose over the beer garden and fences ...
Removed the bunting from the road and brought in the street lights.

Lastly, filled the first wood store by the Gents loo  ...

A good days work 

Task for tomorrow is to try to get the belt back onto the deck and rebuild the tractor.

Found some nice fungi ..




 Cheers

26th August 2025 - And breathe...

Thought for the day :"My Dad used to say ‘Money - You can’t take it with you’. We had some terrible holidays."


Wet (with dry hot bits)


Finally a good weekend for the Tavern and it is over and a bit of sleep 

But berries are everywhere


house - (lawns need cutting) 

Apples

and squash

And a gift for Susie for all her work over the weekend - a new Peacock


Gathered the signs 


And the Charity Pot contains £164.43


Cheers !

25th August 2025 - More fun and Games at the Crimson Moon

Thought for the day :"Went to my acupuncturist, and when I got home, my voodoo doll was dead"


Dry 

Another busy day - though not as bad as the last three..
Time to chill with customers for a change 
though 2 hour set in the evening as no other players with us ..  


Cheers
