    A much better idea this week.

    A trio of students* doing the grunt work.

    And me driving the tractor.

    * two out of the three were pretty hopeless. I don't remember being that bad on my student holiday jobs, but perhaps I was.

    433MHz remote controlled garage lights installed & tested*.

    Definitely pass Part P.

    Neat trick printing the manufacturing date on the 1mm t&e.


    *Just in time for the extended use over the next year or so.

    For some reason after an hour of that I was imagining the head of my skool French teecher with every cut.

    Half a field done, more tomorrow.

    What it needs is a bit of RSJ around it.

    Though the neighbour might not like the result when he next reverses in that direction.

    Just a rainy wedding to look forward to tomorrow.

    And rainy it proved so to be.

    And the longest wedding service in history.

    75 pages in the order of service FFS.

    Different pair of skips, with less stuff in them this morning.

    Someone's patio seems to be descending* into the roadway & is coned off.

    Wednesday.


    *It's about 10 or 12 feet above the road. One of they bricks could really ruin your day.
