31st December 2025 - New Years Eve

Thought for the day :"Just bought Pavarotti’s old campervan. It's a Nissan Dormer"


Dry

Scarlett comes walking Tilly and Toby with me 



And of course it is New Year's Eve so we have an equine visitation 





And Rob comes to join us for the New Year 




I may have a broken dog - just saying 


Happy Silvester 
Cheers

30th December 2025 - At work with Chris again

Thought for the day :"Due to a Government Typo, I've been told I'm going to receive an OBOE, in the New Year's Honours list..."


Dry 

As the year comes to an end - one last opportunity to fix some stuff up.


Wood shed filled form the lower quarter - 4 loads 

Next task - the beech hedge needed to come down to a reasonable height so it can be managed without ladders - we decided to stage it .. 

Before




 









Cheers 



29th December 2025 - Trying the Stabilizer Selfie sick

Thought for the day :" I bought my wife some of that volume control shampoo. It doesn't work, I can still hear her."


Dry

Susie off to the Pantomime this evening 
so home alone again 



But had the opportunity to try out the new selfie stick,
come stabilizer photo thingie 





But managed a stabilized TillyVision - need to work on this


 Cheers

28th December 2025 - And back to work

Thought for the day :"Archaeologists have just discovered the ruins of the very first Alka-Seltzer factory, apparently it had been built by early Settlers..."


Dry

Another sunny day but more important for me my coughing fits reduced drastically today. Managed to sleep through most of the night with only one bad coughing fit at about 4.30am.
Slept through then until 10am and have been fairly clear all day despite the coldness of the air.

But took the opportunity to get out for a short period. Chain Saw went into work on the wood pile by the peacocks, but the chain was pretty blunt so it took a long time to get through the logs that we had.




Ice on the duck pond


Finishing the Willow fedge, I had forgotten that it went around the back of the yurt, though Susie tells me that she had planted this section but not done any weaving up until now.


Back end tamed, though may have to revisit 


Tilly on our walk - observing Toby in the  culvert along the lane..



And Susie is continuing her book case project. May have a loose switch connection for the lights but the main structure has so much detail.
 

Meanwhile, Bethan and Scarlett and the Keens have been having fun traveling.
