Lobster coloured children maraud the site, some in varying degrees of zombification brought on by probable sun stroke. 25C at 19:10 should indicate the glorious weather we're enjoying. The hawthorn trees have burst with white blossom, nursed seeds and seedlings are now rocketing skyward. Some already falling prey to slugs.
Finally utilised a window of opportunity and moved the lattice, rafters and wheel of the Yurt under cover in the barn. A cursory inspection suggests with a little TLC and a new door if the original can't be located and we should have a half decent home. Presently that brings the count to three and make logistic a further concern. We are definitely moving up in the world! Three homes owned outright after just a year. I am becoming quite the property mogul I fear.

Shocking Muck- Sunday 12/12/10
Sunshine! Better wash the solar panels! Our mobiles have been suffering due to the past overcast days and the fact the car inverter doesn't seem to be doing the job.
Got one job done during my morning cigarette. The rear door of the static is scraping the frame. Probably due to the axle not yet being bricked up and supported. Can't raise it as my car bottle jack can't cope. The answer? Deflate the tire. Door fixed. Caravan level. Job done.
The rest of the day was spent preparing the vegetable beds. Emma came out to help for a bit before lunch and again as the light was fading. Have managed to get 4 of 8 dug, and one strip spread 3/4 of the way with muck. That 3/4 was a whole trailer load which shocked me.
Was aching and very tired but managed to spend three hours desperately trying to catch up on the blog. Same again tomorrow methinks.

Leisurely starts - Monday 09/08/10
A very leisurely start to the day. Up around 09:00, finished breakfast and admin around 11:00. Still quite a novelty. although this will inevitably change when Frances returns to school and we effectively end up back in a weekday 9-5 routine. More tamping and foundation work. The slow start has been tolerated due to the weather. Started out grey and drizzly but at times unleashed some glorious sunshine. Rain returned at 17:15 which was convenient. Perhaps not if I end up going with the guys to play football.
