Last night we had a female Blackbird emptying our gutters of moss . I could see moss falling down past our window like it was snowing . My wife went out to see what was going on to see a Blackbird busy tossing moss out of the gutter .
At least it will save me having to do it .

We enquired how much clearing our roof of moss would cost, we were told £12000, but he seemed reluctant to give us a written quote, wanting us to sign up then & there. Do you hire out your blackbird?

There's never a dull moment here.

My neighbour is painting his garden gate.

You'll be able to watch it dry then.

I made scrambled egg on smoked salmon with wholemeal toast for lunch

The work men have dug a hole in the road, put a cordon around it and then they all left.

The work men have dug a hole in the road, put a cordon around it and then they all left.

Of course. That's what they're supposed to do.

And in a few weeks another bunch of workmen will turn up and fill the hole in.

There may be someone who comes along and fixes what caused the hole to be dug, but that's not guaranteed. By then anyone involved will have forgotten why the hole was needed in the first place, and local residents will just be relieved it's filled-in.

SWMBO is off to rural Co. Cavan tomorrow to visit her father's relatives. My guess is the roads will have quite a few holes around there .

Warm, still and overcast here chez Casa Reynard - although it WAS sunny earlier.

I did not sleep well, as I kept waking up to cough. And am still coughing for England, although now it's a dry cough, and that's bloody horrible. I did sit back and watch Trooping the Colour though - have to admit, I do like watching this sort of thing, and I do rather enjoy listening to the world's best Ooompah band.

The Queen's hat and coat reminded me very much of Wedgewood jasperware.

I plan on a quiet afternoon. Might make a start on a piece of artwork later.

Anyways it is almost time for luncheon.

Whats up Mr. B ? l've been absent from CC for quite a while so lost track of events !!

Glad you're back

SWMBO's got into the departure lounge. Hoping the flight's on time I've four days off. So ... normally I buy something wholly inappropriate whilst she's away, then hope she doesn't find out

Previously it's been a Talbot Samba Cabrio, bikes, etc. The Samba I now realise I should've kept given they've gone up massively in value.

But ... this time I've not bought anything ... yet! Suggestions please ...

Depends what you mean by wholly inappropriate...

OTOH that Crossle FF1600 is still up for grabs on the 'bay. They're made in Northern Ireland so make of that what you will...

Is there an extra zero in there, or do you live in a palatial mansion?

I didn't think it was possible but the rain has got even heavier

If a Blank picture appears the post of the knitted allotment didn't work.

Lovely luncheon. Two of my wholegrain rolls, one filled with garlic sausage, the other with camembert, plus a banana, half a ripe mango and two

That's the single bed frame back upstairs just the mattress to go next

SSE tell me I am £248 in credit so they have to put up my DD by £12 per month.

Our new ferry seems to be spending the day doing dummy runs at berthing at the linkspan. They sailed round from Leith where it was being adapted to our system of docking but obviously no practice at handling at close quarters.

I also have a herd of heffalumps tap dancing on my kidneys.
