17th May 2022 - Cesspit cleared - for the record

Thought for the day :"I'm eating only salads for dinner now. Ok, fruit salads. Only grapes, actually. Fermented grapes, to be specific. Ok wine. I'm only drinking wine for dinner now."

Septic Tank emptied today. I know that is not very interesting - but we have not had it emptied before so I listed it here so I can find when we need to have it done again - and I can search here to find out when we did it. For the record - it cost £195 (No VAT on human waste apparently)

Had to pop down the road a couple of times to touch up the sign which is only chalk so the rain is having an effect. May have some liquid chalk later in the week but we will see.

Some Solar lights with panel and battery arrived today - only ordered yesterday so that is good ..

4 x 2watt led lights and should last 24 hours on a single bulb or 6 hours for 4 - but it is unlikely that four would be on at a time - charged by solar or mains - rather pleased with the unit 

Was wet for much of the day so did not get on with the lean - to - but ordered stock from Lyme Bay - decided to do the full wine tasting experience again so will have to build a wine frame again with the bottles stacked and tasters behind.... Just another task.

Susie started bringing up her dahlias, and has cleared the slope for some veg and has done more work in the greenhouse. No peacock eggs today - the rat having taken the last ones  which is sad. I see from the memories that this was the day that they started laying last year.

Not much else achieved today - so tomorrow is another day ..   

Cheers !
