Today was the day, I and a neighbour two doors away were going to tackle the silver birch trees in the garden between ours. The owner is in...
Did quite a bit today. Gave my garage a good tidy and chucked out any stuff I thought I might never need. This still left quite a bit! I keep a...
Too wet for gardening, but I did some related shopping. I bought some Hedgehog food, from Pets Are Us, which was reduced in price, don't know why,...
The tuner/amp I bought on eBay arrived today. It's a well respected brand. It's sometimes a "pig in a poke" buying on eBay, but I've rarely been...
A cold day today, seems lower than +5c. No hedgehog activity. I've put the second camera out to cover the new doorway.
We baled out of pruning the trees today, as it's damp and only +3c. So we've re-scheduled for next week-end, when we're promised sunshine and...
For "something to do" at this time of the year, I've just bought this vintage tuner/amp on e-Bay. It should arrive early next week. The vendor has...

Thanks for the interest. No project in mind at the moment (apart from deciding what to do about the dying grass area under the acer in front of...
No tree lopping today, as it's raining. My replacement corded electric drill I ordered on Thursday arrived today. Most people use battery drills...

It's +4c, but feels colder. No jobs scheduled for today, but there's tree lopping in next door's garden, with another neighbour tomorrow. No...
I got the second hedgehog doorway done today. But as often happens, it wasn't without incident. After drilling a dozen or more holes in the...
No gardening today as it was a golf day. Mild for the time of year +6c and dry. Tomorrow, weather permitting, I'm going to put a hedgehog doorway...
I hadn't intended to do anything today, but every Tuesday, I put out my next door neighbour's bins, as he's in hospital and will be for some time....
Cloudy and +4c. No good reason to go in the garden today other than to feed the birds. There's a few things I'm planning to do once the weather...
Dick Haymes had about fifty top 20 hits during the forties. He, like several other singers, was originally a big band vocalist, first for Harry...

As I've not been able to get in my garden much recently, I've been playing my Yamaha Tyros 5. This is my favourite Hoagy Carmichael song I like to...
