And just as I sat down to luncheon, Madam Lexi presented me with a large rat.

It's her 8th (official) Gotcha Day today. I fostered her for a couple of months prior to that and decided that she would stay. I love my crazy little blue & white pain the in the arse to bits.

I've had a serious talk to Bonnie about digging up or eating the bedding and container plants that I've sorted this afternoon. I've warned her that she's up for an ar5e-kicking if she touches them!

Done a bit of prep for some awkward mortaring that has to be done, filling gaps with gravel and rubble. Then I can use a fairly runny cement and simply pour it in. A bit like a drizzle glaze on a cake...

Had a smashing time breaking up some old bricks and breeze blocks with a sledgehammer.

Now it's time for a

Last class done until September this morning. That's been followed up with messages dealing with a major source of stress since February, with a proposal to temporarily sort it (I've pulled the trigger on dealing with a problem individual).

Then I've been packing for this weekend's Irish Junior track national championships in Belfast. We've a 5am start tomorrow to catch a ferry at Cairnryan, then some sorting out once we're there for Saturday's racing, followed by visits to the in-laws on Sunday.

A farm I worked on had very rocky fields and one seasonal job we had involved going round a field due to be ploughed with a tractor and trailer with large hammers and crowbars. We dug out large rocks and split them by hammering before removal. There is an art to rock splitting by hammer and it was a very satisfying task.

Deadheaded the daffodils in the rain and hope I have avoided any ticks in that area.
Pharmacy visit where they did not have my meds as still unpacking boxes and I may get them tomorrow. Nuisance tourists without face coverings which are recommended in the pharmacy arguing with the girl behind the counter as they think we are a shower of hicks up here and will give out prescription medication without a doctor's say so.

27 miles on my evening ride. Overcast but it remained dry and no punctures to report this time. Now time for some soup.
