Weather or not

If we didn’t have weather we’d have nowt to talk about well the weather since cutting me mums lawn on Monday has been “rainy” ranging from annoyingly damp to horrendously torrential the latter being usually when Billy needs a walk. It might be the last cut of her lawn this year but it’s like I […]

Extend idea

A little project to extend my shed to the end of the existing roof has been mulling over in me head for a few days. I am never going to go any further with the bar idea so the roofing wasted and would be ideal if I stuck some footings in framed it up and […]

It’s a field!

Went to mow me mums lawn tonight because there won’t be many more opportunities this year because the weather is drawing in as well as the nights. It rained all day yesterday scuppering my chance to walk Billy up to her house and getting it done but tonight after a dry windy day I spied […]

Game Day

Finally! It’s been a long off season, the @broncos last game was a loss against the @raiders (hawk tuah) 7th January, but let’s not think about that! ? A new season and new hope tempered with the reality that we are rebuilding with a rookie quarterback @bonix10 who looks promising and under the tutelage of […]

First week done

Lincoln came and informed us that he has been chosen as a school ambassador and will represent the school later this month. […]

Reagan recognised

It’s only day two of term but Reagan has already impressed the school because she volunteered to work some shifts o er the summer holidays and the school found out about it and recognised her efforts and invited her to a celebration breakfast tomorrow.

Back to school 2024

After the summer holidays Reagan and Lincoln finally went back to school, the former has been looking forward to it but I am not so sure about the latter…? They both got up on their respective alarms and started to get ready only to find that her shirts would not take a tie and he […]

Hard wood

While Mommy was worrying about getting two children ready to go back to school tomorrow, all I had on my mind was ‘are the runners on my old drawer I used when I first started work made from hard wood?’ I couldn’t wait to get home and go get it out of the bottom shed […]

Dwelling?

I have decided to take another rest from drinking, I actually decided a couple of weeks ago and was ready to just stop but I made this stupid plan to go through September without a drink but by the time yesterday came I wished I was already two weeks in… A month should not be […]
