16th November 2024 - Germans Arrive

Thought for the day :"It only takes one pint to get me drunk. It is either the 13th or the 14th"

Wet

That mizzy constant rain

Pinned Post - 16th November 2024

So the House renovation started on the 29th August 2024, and our anniversary of our moving date has centred on this work for September ad October, and today is not change.

The progress is getting to the stage where we can see the end of the job, though with the weather looking to be wet and cold over the next week or so, we may have more delays.

But Nancy has been working on the woodpile which is getting lower, and I finished building the pallet wood store, and today we lit the fire the kitchen so it remains warm while Jan and Iris are visiting, and I have de-wired the flickering lights in the wood burner in the living room so we can have the fire lit when I get back with them after collecting them at Cardiff airport.

The gardens still seems confused with roses beginning to flower and other unexpected plants blooming and the grass is still growing. Managed the last cut of the year, but fingers crossed that we do not need more.

Eating chickens are thriving, Cuthbert is still having problems getting all his entourage together, and each evening is a catch me if you can to get all the hens into the coop.

Still the ducks are growing well, and waddle around the paddock as only runner ducks can.

The radio seems to be keeping predators away at the moment so all is good.

Looking forward to having Jan and Iris with us for the week and hope the weather improves enough to do something other than sit in the house

Cheers ...

So, I hate Cardiff Airport. The signs are very misleading and if you go into the drop off area - which I wanted to do as it was the nearest to the terminal and as I saw them further down the car park I went through the barrier which cost me £3, and then had to go through the entrance again - which put me into the road going up the wrong way - and found that I had to go through the pick up area, which cost me another £3..

Was concerned that the CCTV might have caught me going the wrong way or stopping in a restricted area and would give a fine - but think we are clear now ..

Still got them home in good time. Looking forward to the next week with company.

Cheers
