Thought for the day :"Highlighter pens are the future. Mark my words..."
Day started fairly grey but by lunchtime we were in the full sun and I think I caught the sun a bit!!Started with trying to keep the dog out of the paddock and moved the pallets to the other side of the fence so that the dog has to push the pallet into the fence rather than away from it - seems to be working so far !!
Next stage was to start laying the boardwalk - but for that I would not have any music - so it seemed appropriate to lay down the electric cables so that the radio can play while I was working.
We have a lot of 16 amp cable that we always used for the Crimson Moon and seems to be safe for use around the grounds. All worked well at first with the first leg to the top of the paddock and the radio was on.. and then I laid the next section and the third and fourth - only to find that the second was the wrong way around - male to male connectors. So had to take them all down and re thread them along the fence and under the boardwalk.. then found that the fourth had been the right way around !! and had to be re threaded again. Not my best day !
But once that was sorted I managed to get down to the second spring with the walkway - thinking that we need gravel in the frames ...
IN other news - the peacocks are hatching - well at least No 1 has...
and Freedom !
No sign of movement on the house - though the buyer has been in touch to confirm that his solicitor has been in touch which is a good sign... Can't get to the dump until Saturday so may take the big trailer to No 41 on Thursday ready for the piano and harmonium, and give the keys to the buyer so that he can do some measurements for upgrade...
A long day - but a good one ..
Cheers !
