Thought for the day :"The person who removed all the numerals on the elevator was wrong on so many levels"
PCR tests back and negative so fingers crossed so far - though incubation period is 4 - 11 days so plenty of time before we can be sure.. New Lateral Flow tests arrived within 12 hours - excellent service..
Took little dog to the big field again today and took some video in the long grass this time ..
Meanwhile the leaves are changing colour
Dashing form the bushes
and a bit tired!!
GREEN ONE OCTOBER - DAY 19
Herstmonceaux Castle - The Story with audience Participation
Thought for the day :"Apparently you call a fish with 10 eyes... Fiiiiiiiiiish!"
Lessons with a Chin saw today
Have the kit - the trousers, the gloves, the hard hat, the Chin Saw - but never fired it up before
Today we started tackling the Cabin Area on the lower quarter.
We - in this case is Stuart my son in law and myself - though in fairness he did more of the work today , I was trying to keep the chieftan tank on the road..
But we cleared a lot of wood into the storage area and moved a lot of wood from the ground
A good days work - though very tiring (I am getting too old for all this !)
But who is at the door of the Tavern?
And later, Nancy takes some pictures inside the Tavern - I lit it up with the main candles and tea lights and we had a beer ..
Thought for the day :"If at first you don’t succeed it is only attempted murder – just saying"
A general day today - up fairly early to let the chickens out and another shed has been delivered for the "eating" chickens. Prime have given me another free month so I took up the option and bought some large hole drill bits to complete the installation of the Ty Bach - arrived fairly late so will leave it until tomorrow .
Decided to recover some of the Goth style items that we had when we did a Vampire Wedding many years ago as it is heading for Halloween - Will have to put the Halloween Wobblies for the mail man tomorrow
Found some mirrors and candle holders - some which may now be permanent
and the time is...

This wonderful gift arrived from Kajsa - the Giraffe Benefactor
Not has enough wind to see in action yet - looking forward to it ..
And walking this afternoon - found some massive mushrooms ..
They are a little past their prime sadly - should have gone to the second field yesterday
Thought for the day :"I would love to get paid to sleep. It would be my dream job."
Doctors today to see the results of the blood tests and the chest x-ray.
Apparently everything is on the green at the moment, Cholesterol, Liver, Kidney, PSA.
Double check on the Prostrate with a physical check - but I am happier with that as the PSA test is fair - but not guaranteed.
So, basically, the tests do not show any reason for shortness of breath - other than old age !! and therefore I have been referred now to Cardiology for further examinations - but probably not being dealt with any urgency - and that seems reasonable ...
Still hugely impressed by the NHS and the facilities provided in a small part of West Wales - blood taken, x-rays arranged locally, and consultation on demand. All in all we seem to be very lucky.
In other new, another plastic Shed has been delivered - for the eating chicks to set up down in the paddock. Took time to unpack and store ready for carriage down to the paddock.
Susie started work on the Ty Bach - but as we do not have the right size drill bits to make holes for the pipe-work it was a check on line and taking PRIME for a free month to get next day delivery ....
Had to buy separate drill rings for 90mm which does not appear to be standard, and also 35mm to cover a 33mm requirement. But as a back up bought a set of 12 rings - so we have them for the future!!
Rest if the day has been quiet - Gave the Crimson Moon Sign a quick coat of black paint - some TLC from the rough handling and the chalk notices on the covers.
Also put some more brass plates up in the passage down to the Ty Bach.
