21st October 2021 - Walking the dogs in Cardigan

Thought for the day : "A backward poet writes inverse"

Up this morning to look after the puppy and let the Girlies out. I normally get the lie in so only fair.

Raining early and Susie had an optician appointment for her "floater" in her eye .

Apparently needs to take it easy for 6 weeks - but not a detached retina so better news than we feared.

As a result, walked Toby and 'Thena around Cardigan and visited the Music Shop which was fun - lots of lovely old instruments and old amps and early equipment. Am thinking this may be the person that I was talking to regarding the Space Fidelity CD player. I will have to check the phone numbers - I have his card.

No new photos today though as we did not really venture out.

Did see this though and it made me chuckle ...

Boris - the Musical

And while I am on the subject of things that amuse me 

Had our ASDA delivery this evening - our dozen eggs included an escapee I think

And today I edited some drone footage from Peter Scott

This is the first : October 2021

GREEN ONE OCTOBER - DAY 21

Obama gets on the act 

Cheers !

20th October 2021 - Lower Quarter - and no Central Heating

Thought for the day :"Apparently a gang of ghosts is called a hauntourage"

Broke out of my lethargy today and went down the lower quarter to attack the foliage left from the weekend ...  and managed an hour before the rain came and stopped play. But Toby and 'Thena seemed to enjoy being with me down the bottom of the land - seems 'Thena no longer wants to run off ..  Which is good!

Took the opportunity to clear the spring bubble pond...

before

after

And so a couple of before pictures for clearing the Cabin area....

And it is getting close enough to Halloween to start thinking about putting the Halloween Wobblies out...

And Susie made her Bullace Jam so I finally got around to labeling the jars ...  Only been a couple of weeks!

And as Susie needed to go to the Optician, we decided to take Toby for an acclimatisation walk in Cardigan - got him all ready in his harness and then we were delayed a bit so he got fed up and went to sleep 

In fairness he walked well on the lead - so we will have to do so again - he gets so excited when he sees other people - he is very friendly

Later - he attacked his bed...

"Just me here hiding under my blankie"

So, got  some more fairy lights to light up the passage to the Ty Bach and the tunnel, and Susie got some noodle gloves to dry the dogs with - special from Aldi ..

Looks as thought we cannot have the LPG gas Central Heating system as there is no area 7m x 8m clear to  site the tank - such are the regulations. Apparently, there may be more grants coming out in the new year for Solar so we may be able to look at that then.

In the meantime the house is pretty warm so we are not suffering ....

No symptoms from either of us yet so keeping fingers crossed re the Covid.

I decided to cancel trip to Leicester to get my Promotion in Grand Rank in Athelstan. 

Cases are over 49,000 a day now and over 450 per 10,000.

It is all getting a little scary out there again ...

And so we can have another Green One 

GREEN ONE OCTOBER - DAY 20

Green One Global (IV)

19th October 2021 - Puppy in the Big Field

Thought for the day :"The person who removed all the numerals on the elevator was wrong on so many levels"

PCR tests back and negative so fingers crossed so far - though incubation period is 4 - 11 days so plenty of time before we can be sure..  New Lateral Flow tests arrived within 12 hours - excellent service..

Took little dog to the big field again today and took some video in the long grass this time ..

Meanwhile the leaves are changing colour 

Dashing form the bushes

and a bit tired!!

GREEN ONE OCTOBER - DAY 19

Herstmonceaux Castle - The Story with audience Participation 

Cheers !!

18th October 2021 - Lazy Day

Thought for the day :"A sweater I bought was full of static electricity so I took it back and they gave me another free of charge"

Off to Aberaeron for our PCR tests - should get a result back in 24 hours if we are lucky.

No ill symptoms so keeping fingers crossed - but incubation can be up to 11 days so we shall see..

Took the opportunity of taking Tony on the beach at Aberaeron - he seemed to enjoy - and the stones were a new environment for Toby.

So, another quiet day in the house - will have to try and get back to work again soon 

Cheers !

GREEN ONE OCTOBER - DAY 18

17th October 2021 - A Touch of Covid in the House

Thought for the day :"I haven't sold a single copy of my autobiography.
Sigh. That's the story of my life."

Sadly, Torren had a rough night, with full fever, and so they left early to get home and have a PCR test back in Aylesbury.

(Edit) late found that it is positive so setting for a PCR test ourselves tomorrow 

First time for Toby to go onto the big field, and he got a little mucky ..

So the rest of the day has been a lazy day....

16th October 2021 - Chain Saws and Taverns

Thought for the day :"Apparently you call a fish with 10 eyes... Fiiiiiiiiiish!"

Lessons with a Chin saw today 

Have the kit - the trousers, the gloves, the hard hat, the Chin Saw - but never fired it up before 

Today we started tackling the Cabin Area on the lower quarter.

We - in this case is Stuart my son in law and myself - though in fairness he did more of the work today , I was trying to keep the chieftan tank on the road..

But we cleared a lot of wood into the storage area and moved a lot of wood from the ground

A good days work - though very tiring (I am getting too old for all this !) 

But who is at the door of the Tavern?

And later, Nancy takes some pictures inside the Tavern - I lit it up with the main candles and tea lights and we had a beer ..

So - all in all a good day 

GREEN ONE OCTOBER - Day 16

Cheers !

15th October 2021 - There be Dragons

Thought for the day : "In the 1970’s, Sister Sledge used to drive around in British cars... Their favourites were the Austin Music and Cortina Trap."

Been a standard day at Ffynnon Wen really ..
ad Flu jabs at Newcastle Emlyn - Susie getting bad reactions but I am fairly okay 

Family arrived for the weekend  which is nice..

Gift from Friend (Mark and Julie Webb the Butcher)  makes a new headstone for the Tavern

Finding the right place to fix her ..

Thanks to Mark and Julie Webb the Butchers for their wonderful gift

Pride of Place
