Tea? (Part 2)

[Arch]

Well, it's not quite finished, but it's in. Just some flashing to finish off.

Time for a well deserved .

@coffeejo How's your friend today? That sounded really painful, wish her well and hope she recovers quickly.

Thanks. She got home yesterday afternoon and I popped round to see her in the evening. Nothing's broken and there's no damage to the knee, though she has frayed a couple of strands (??) of her tendon, but apparently that's not serious. The doctor was really worried about an infection developing and spreading to the knee joint so she's on two lots of antibiotics, not to mention a whole load of pain killers but she was in good spirits and we had a load of laughs.

In other news, I took a friend's advice re: Howling Dog Wagon and let Snipe run til she was knackered (didn't take long, it was baking hot even at ten in the morning) and then put her in. She was so grateful to be stationary that she just lay down and enjoyed the breeze.

Morning all. Love the pic @coffeejo. Wish Dave would sit in it so nicely. I'll try the exhaustion technique later. .
My 3rd this morning. Can't seem to get going.

 

[coffeejo]

We're going back on Wednesday to help put up a shed (hope that's a fair exchange for the lunch, ice cream, coffee and BBQ I enjoyed yesterday) so fingers crossed it goes as smoothly.

Just finishing off my umpteenth coffee of the day. Been awake since 5. Heading out into the hills later this morning for a walk. Think I'll have a day off the bike: the first for over a week.

Glad that it's not as bad as it could have been, but still sounds very ouchy.

Once the paramedics got her loaded onto the stretcher, they asked if she wanted any painkillers. She started to say no but then changed her mind. Yesterday she told me that the reason she gave in and admitted that yes, it really did hurt was that she saw the look I gave her as she started to say no and decided that behaving herself was the safest option.

I guess that depends on whether you get there and find a little shed, or an Amish barn, and only you there to raise it...

Train home this morning, and this afternoon I have to get two weeks worth of shopping, because my supermarket is shut for a refit next week.

@coffeejo which dog wagon did you get there? I'm thinking a lab is about the same size as Dave? Although I might consider modifying the kiddie trailer now they are too big for it.

 

[coffeejo]

Yup, similar size I reckon. No idea of the make - a friend bought it from a company on ebay but there was a problem with the wheel. She asked for a replacement and they sent a whole new trailer. Her son sorted the wheel and I got me a freebie trailer.

Afternoon all

I was a bit worried that Tea? had slipped down the forum list to page 2, so I thought I'd move it back to its rightful position near the top of p1.

anyone?

Just having my lunch, I wont bother posting pics as it wont last that long

 

[Biscuit]

I'll have a cheers. Falling asleep here.

 

[Night Train]

I am metal bashing again today to make the flashings for the Velux window. I think I have the most complicated part made now. Hope it fits....

Just finished off the last of the iced cream I had in the fridge.

It is very and here today. I have an appointment later at the doctor's to get the results of my cholesterol and diabetes tests. I expect in this heat my blood pressure will be very high.
