Playing golf yesterday, on one hole we had to look for one of my partner's ball. He'd driven it just a few yards off the fairway into the rough....
With small area like yours and mine, it's virtually impossible to maintain a lawn when you've dogs and/or kids. Mine suffers with moss every...
It was a golf day today. I was going to do some more path re-pointing when I got home, but I decided against it as it is going to rain in the...
Thanks for the kind words. There's a story behind the fountain. When I told my wife that because of the leak I was going to close down the koi...
"Each to their own," as they say. I don't like plastic pots, nor do I like decorated terracotta pots, I consider them unattractive and detract...
I did a bit of re-pointing on the patio behind the shed and a bit of the path. It's a pain. Ideally you need a cement mixer to mix mortar...
What usually happens, is you end up with one sock and a Lock n' Lock box with no lid.
Can't do any more patio re-pointing as it is starting to rain, so I'm watching the London Marathon on TV. There's golf, football, road...
Not a lot today. I started on the re-pointing of the small patio behind the shed. It's been a pain for years. The roots of next door's trees which...
The Good News The cable for my camera I ordered on-line three weeks ago with a promise of a five day delivery, has finally arrived! The bad...
Talking of retrieving things. Over a few years, I lost two golf umbrellas which I kept in my car, when out shopping, which I had to replace....
We've only a built in oven and a microwave in our small kitchen, but we've two halogen hobs, which more or less, immediately after use, just need...
Here it should be raining but isn't yet. I won't risk starting any path/patio re-pointing because if I do, it'll start to rain.
Actually I could have written the money off, given that it was a trivial amount, but sheer bloody mindedness made me pursue it. I've ordered...
I ordered a camera lead from an on-line supplier on 1st April. It wasn't expensive, less than £9. It was supposed to arrive within a week. I've...
Not a lot done today. Gave the main patio a coat of "Wet n' Forget," as it was a little bit green, cleared within a few hours. Fed the lawn. I...
Thanks for that. A few people in our road (out of about 100 of the same basic house, all built to the same design in 1965) had the tiles on their...
Jet-washed the drive. A real boring job. You could get four cars on this drive, all the houses in our road are the same. But those with two cars,...
I recognise the illustration, it's the cover of an album I have, but haven't played it in decades.
It can be quite damp in Manchester, as it often has high humidity, but the rainfall is less than the average.
