Summer?

 The sunshine has reached us!!

Steady progress on the cladding, but we need another long pallet...but there is no rush for that, thankfully. 

My next job is finish sanding the front doors ready to paint the outside.

To that end, Pirate hauled out a quarter of his shed, as the trestles were at the bottom...at the back!!

He is fed up of the after effects of covid. Not having his usual horsepower is one..but it is gradually improving. He isn't used to stopping for breaks before a job is finished!!

He always tells others " You are no longer in your 50s"....but that's how he thinks, himself.

While he sorts and reduces the contents, I have been busy too...


Now with 16 km to go on this day's stage of the Tour de France, we are doing 5 minutes work during the tv ads... and 10 minutes watching!

I've behaved the same during an exciting ball game.

We sympathize with Pirate and keep trying not to overdo it.

I can go along with Pirate's comment. The trouble is I have a 28 year old mind in an 83 year old body! But I discipline myself, if working, to do an hour's stint then have a "coffee break" for half an hour.

Even 16ks is a long way to me, those cyclists must be mega fit

I've not watched the tour in a long time, but we used to enjoy watching. I like how your watching and working inbetween. Sounds like you're making good headway with your projects. Your fresh fruit looks wonderful!!
