Thought for the day :"I've just discovered there's a library in my village... they kept that quiet!"
Slightly warmer today - when the sun came out it was almost hot - and when the clouds came over the temperature dropped drastically. Susie has spent a day trying to keep the wood burner fires running - with mixed results...
Used the re-chargeable hedge-trimmer and it is light and very useful. Think that a light weight chain saw will be on the cards, but will have to try to get the main petrol version running sometime.
Went looking for Cabins yesterday and found a nice one called the Kidwelly, and another called CIlgerrin.

And Cilgerrin
Today I needed to get my meds renewed and drove up to Newcastle Emlyn to pick them up form the chemist. While there I popped into the builders merchant to enquire about a business account. Also to price the charges for the slab for the Machine Shed. Result - I ordered Sand, Ballast and Cement for delivery on Thursday - will have to empty the trailer tomorrow and move it to the front parking so that the bags can be delivered. May have to barrow everything to the back - that will be some big work!
Ordered 800KG (3/4 imperial ton) chippings - will be useful for paths in the future, and the same weight in sand - can be used in compost and 6 bags of cement. Should be enough .. I hope!!
This afternoon we were invited to tea with our second nearest neighbours. Felt a little bad as it was really our turn to invite after our first afternoon tea a Kay's Birthday but the weather changed, and Bank holidays happened and we really did not get our act together. But this afternoon we walked 'Thena up the track to Felin Ganol (The Middle Mill). Another old mill. And what a delightful place and beautifully converted, with a wonderful garden full of produce.. A delightful socially distanced tea and History Lesson of the village - we really must make ourselves known more in the village though it is difficult in these days of shut down.
But we shall have to return the invite soon.
We have also tracked down (thanks to Kay and Johnny) Barbara Saunders - the widow of our favourite predecessor "Victor" who is apparently still very active for 96 and could be a source of information.
We will write to her rather than just use the phone - as that could be a bit of a shock to her ...
In other news - today was the day that a new Jet Suit was announced for the emergency services - mainly paramedics in the Fells as a first trial ... The possibility of flying to the top of a fell rather than trudge for an hour with full pack of supplies to assist a casualty.
Susie is hunting Ebay for a smaller rod to try her hand at fishing in the river - we have a fine pond at the bottom of the Garden. Also watching the weather for her Deep Sea Fishing trip next week.
Me? I managed to get the record player connected to a surround sound amplifier and waiting for a jack to phono lead to connect things up. On-line purchases are doing well from us at the moment.
Updated some of the local photos
And a new gallery posted onto Facebook .. here Flickr to Follow
And with those few thoughts I will leave you ..
Cheers!
