    Hehe - Probably a good idea. It's only a small hedge anyway

    If I do try it out, I must remember not to have a fag on the go while I fill it with petrol ...

    I'll have to be careful of the metal fence embedded somewhere inside the hedge

    Mowing the lawns, for hopefully the last time this year.

    Ordering a ton of coal for the winter (£480 isn't bad for 20 hundredweight sacks), and a shedload (literally) of logs.

    Thanks for asking. After doing the medieval festival and fight displays in Tabor in the Czech Republic last week nothing I do this weekend is going to come close :-(

    However, Micro MUN has his third birthday party tomorrrow which is great. Other than that pretty much nothing other than unpacking, cleaning armour etc.

    You?
