The Arbalk morning register!

[Doug Tait]

Morning all.

Rant away Bob, this is a safe place for us younger types that identify as grumpy old men!

I'm grateful to have enjoyed two magnificent sleeps this weekend. Since the changes at work a lie in has quickly become the absolute benchmark of a good weekend, although 'wordle' seems to suffer as I tend to do better against the clock at 5am. Can't have it all.

 

Just chores today, then a walk on the moor later. Still walking dogless 😔

 

Have a good one folks.

Morning all,

 

Yet more blue sky. A restful day today. Brought back some nice firewood yesterday.

 

Enjoy the day.

Made a box out of old bits lying around to keep the batteries in one place in the van.  
 

Don’t bother begging me to do commissions for high end carpentry. I know I’m wasted climbing trees, but carpentry for me is a passion, I could never just prostitute my art for money. 

[Doug Tait]

Functional is what matters.

[Mick Dempsey]

Fits snug behind the front seat as well.

Do you use water from your well, Mick?

Enjoy this picture of a slightly gormless chicken as you compose your reply.

We did buy an expensive pump years ago, but there’s only 2 or 3 cubic metres down there.

It takes a long time to refill, so not worth the effort.

Sold the pump.

Didn’t fancy spending a few days down there digging and having the wife haul up buckets of sloppy mud? You surprise me. 

[Mick Dempsey]

Exactly!

My hired man (19) has one of those bottomless quick filling type wells. He uses the water a lot for various jobs.
