23rd November 2021 - Towards a Tavern - The Stage

Thought for the day :"I'm not sure what I should do about my indecisiveness."

Camera ran out yesterday so never managed to get a picture of the final decking for the stage / performance area...

Pallet facia at the front and 6 x 1 planking for the decks - was wanting to go with proper decking but the sheets were over £20 each for 3 meter by 5" (I know that is a mix up of metric and old money but that is the way it works) 

Planking is secure 

Fitted around the tree and forming a storage area

Curtains at the moment - but will be wooden frame at the back

Tavern Sign for the Performance area

And this is what the coal arrived on - so will form part of the back wall of the stage 

So, Susie went to Carmarthen today for the doctors to see about getting a CT scan  rather than a magic eye. Can't complain about the service here in Wales for the NHS. Follow up to mail test last week - appointment with specialist prior to his normal surgery today - and booking in for Scan int he next couple of weeks!

I walked the dogs and broke a pallet up...
Was enough for one day ..

Very cold today - first day that I have needed an extra layer on in the kitchen.

In fairness though the fire in the living room is putting out a huge amount of heat this evening ...

Still waiting for the Liquid Gas people to contact ...

Could be a long waiting game ...

In other news - Susie collected some leaves today - the colours are wonderful ....

22nd November 2021 - A Brisk Morning

Thought for the day :"Unsure what to do today. Will go to the optician first and then we shall see"

Early Start!!

Delivery of Coal Briquettes from Beulah was scheduled for 9am!!

That meant getting the Chickens and Peacocks out early - and as I walked up the Garden the delivery arrived...

That was a good work out - a ton of Coal moved first thing in the morning!

I am getting too old for this lark!!

and then the Wood arrived for the decking on the stage / performance area.. 

That was the next task for the day and though I thought I had taken photos of the completed task - we will have to wait for tomorrow for the final version. Think that the battery ran out!

 

But early - it was good to take some photos of the brisk morning 

crisp and white 

Sun coming up over the Garden

A good frost this morning 

View back to the house

Fabio in the Sun - but it was cold!

Paddock in the morning 

View from the Paddock

Ffynnon Wen

And out for a walk to the fields

All crisp this morning 

Sunshine on the Donkey Trail

Puppies

streams

And the Before picture for the delivered wood !

And some pictures from Mythodea ..

Cheers !

21st November 2021 - Tavern Stage Building

Thought for the day :"I just watched a video of a drill. It was a bit boring."

Working on the pallets again today.

An hour to get the nails out of the wood and create a stack of wood for use on the stage area.

20th November 2021 - Pallet Work

Thought for the day :"The adjective for Metal is Metalic, yet not for Iron – which is ironic"

Saturday !

A little mizzy with intermittent rain - but it held off enough to walk the dogs this morning and managed to walk them from the Felin Ganol Juncrion to the "scramble" without a lead - and at "heel" - or in our case "With Me!" - quite proud of the twp of them...

Then decided to attack the pallets !!

decided it would be a two stage action - break today - and de-nail tomorrow and possibly planking on Monday !!  There is no hurry !!

A good pile ..

Walking the dogs we came passed Fabio and Zsa Zsa ..
And found that feathers are coming back...

Tablets didn't charge this evening - so I broke out the autoharp and tuned it and played a few tunes.. may have to do this more often .. 

Time for a couple of Mythodea Pictures..

Cheers !

19th November 2021 - Afternoon Tea and a few scanned images

Thought for the day : "My wife and myself have decided we don't want children so we will be telling them this evening at dinner"

Had a nice trip to Cross Inn this afternoon to meet up with Malcolm and Gloria for tea and Scones and a general chin wag. Left as it started to get dark so did not have much time for anything in the Garden. In fact it was wet and miserable so I tried setting up the new printer / scanner - but hit problems trying to do it in the Tavern as the HP apps that I could find for the printer only worked with Wi Fi active - though I could not link to the wifi on the printer at all and ended up using a USB cable...

But managed to scan the first set of Photos - reckon if I do an hour every couple of days I will have completed the task in about five years !!!

But put some Mythodea Pictures up again ...

Also - the dancer from the video yesterday posted a message which I edits yesterday's Blog but she has a couple of nice photos and I decided to post them here - Drachenfest 2019 

Doing Magic

Like this one as well

And finally - another Drone shot - the one that crashed - but that was edited out...

Cheers !

18th November 2021 - Fairy Houses

Thought for the day :"There was a kidnapping at school – but it’s okay – they woke up"

Decided to cost the decking for the stage area today - and found that decking has now go very expensive.

5" width and 3 meter length between £18 and £24 each !!

And I needed 14 . Was not an option - was not going to spend that sort of money on flooring

Decided on rough un-planed 6" x 1" - still £89 but better price and it will not require the same level of non - slip...

Drove on to Beulah and bought a pallet of coal briquettes to gett he 20p a bag off - 52 bags so a fair discount - both delivery on Monday - so not able to do a lot 

Beulah had some pallets so seemed rude not to take them 

Work for the next few days !

Also - the Olive and Sage fairy house arrived  - the one missing from the previous delivery 

Toby found the river and got out of his depth for the first time - but seemed to enjoy 

and a little more in the field

and 

Cheers!!
