18th May 2022 - starting the Lean-to

Thought for the day :'' Elton John takes his pet rabbit to the gymn with him. It's a little fit bunny''

Forecast was for rain before the end of the day - so we had a busy time trying to get some stuff sorted first.

Susie cleared the slope beneath the septic tank, and put some membrane over to take out the weeds and planted her winter squash.

Susie saw an offer of 6ft high mesh fencing - 20 mtrs on the Rhydlewis buy and sell pages, 3 rolls for £150 locally, and since they come in at about £100 each we decided that I should go and get them, and pick up some sawdust and poultry bedding while I was at it.

When I got back I looked at the weather and decided that it was worth cutting the lawns before they grew any more - and that led to strimming the borders - but it looks good as a result. 

  

And so it was that it was late afternoon when I finally go down to the yurt to start work on the lean-to and Ty bach - but a start was made ...

The basic structure is in place - decided that we would have to bring the loo to the near end as there is no room for the door to open at the other end - but it should be just as usable - and may be better to have the loo more closely available to the door of the yurt. 

In other news - there has been another of those apps that draws your face as a painting rather than a cartoon - and though there was a scare that it was a Russian bit of software designed with some nefarious purpose - it seems that Snopes has decided that it does not steal any more data than any other similar app - and probably is not bad to use. The version I had did not ask for access to any of my data - it was an "upload a photo" type - but these were quite effective...

SO - tomorrow is another day. A visit to Vic is booked for the afternoon, so lateral flow tests tomorrow.

Cheers !
