We were startled this morning by 3 rifle shots nearby. Sometimes our neighbours take pot shots at the wild goats, usually because they've managed to invade someone's vegetable patch.
K phoned around, as he does, to see who the culprit was. And... It was an irresponsible neighbour showing off to his niece. He's over 50 and she's not a child. They both should have known better. There were no goats involved. He was showing her how his shotgun worked.
WTF
The May Day bouquet on the front gate is looking bedraggled. It's supposed to stay there till June 21 and then be burnt on a midsummer bonfire. I don't think it will last that long. And anyway midsummer bonfires are definitely not allowed. It'll be going on the compost very soon. It did the job, I followed tradition, kept my head high. Enough
No more fires, inside or outside
The fire ban is on till November
The weather has been iffy with wind and rain but the sun is out now and temperatures are rising.
We moved the remains of our winter wood pile to the back of the house. There's no Poppi around to haul wood so we managed ourselves, log by log. Took us 3 days to move the pile but we did it. Those logs were heavy.
The front entrance is clean and clear ready for the big umbrella, summer chairs and table

Ooh, that's a big pile of logs to move. Did you use a wheelbarrow or roll them onto a sheet to drag?
ReplyDeleteWe used that trolley and a couple of plastic cases. A load or 2 in the morning, one in the evening and we were done.
DeleteI stacked them out the back, covered them and we will have enough for a month, or thereabouts, when the November storms begin
You've done your duty with the bouquet.
ReplyDeleteShifting wood really exercises the muscles.
We were bringing the logs in one by one when we had our fire lit . I didn't really notice how heavy they were. Till the big move
