27th June 2021 -

Thought for the day :" I quit my local when it stopped serving scrumpy. That was the decider."

Sunday... Day started with sun and was warm. 

Took the opportunity to cut the lawns with the go kart and followed up with the hand driven and found that I could get to most of the lawn - all except the main slope - though think that could be done as well, but ran out of energy. It is still quite heavy work to cut the grass.. 

Afterwards, decided to look at the springs and the pathway. Decision was made that the grass would not grow through the plastic framing, we decided that we should put membrane down and fill with the gravel that was delivered. We have 10mm gravel. Probably should have gone for 20mm but it will suffice for the moment. Sadly, it means having to take up the flooring that we have already put down in order that the membrane can go underneath. Luckily we can lift in sections and this was the first section done today... 

Also, the peacocks are doing well and back out int he brooder box in the shed...

 

Sat down for a Gin and Tonic on the patio and found that I was sharing with a "dead" bee. though it was not actually dead - just very tired and unable to move properly.

Susie got a spoonful of sugar water and after ten minutes drinking it recovered and flew off. Flt good about that...

In other news - Susie has been working on her stairway to heaven - adding steps to her walkway.

So - Sunday Night - Antiques Road Show and Countryfile..

Bottle of Rioja and slow cooked pulled pork...  Yum

Cheers !
