Got up drove to yard, got phone call from Mrs to remind me I'd forgotten to get petrol on way for saws :001_rolleyes::blushing: fed pigs, chickens and put horses out, went flail mowing, cut hand on the burr on the top link I cut myself on the other day and then forgot to do anything about, finished welding up a drying rack for the potter who has one of the units at the yard, spent an hour cutting logs, fed pigs, chickens, dog, bought in and fed horses, came home watered veg, washed down dog run, finally sat down for sunday roast with home grown peas and carrots that I did'nt get last night as did'nt get back til gone 9, typical day really :laugh1::thumbup1:

I took five minutes out my day today to sit by my pond and watch the frogs zapp hover flies, those five minutes turned into twenty then I had to peel myself away to do the more mundane chores like earning money.....What interested me the most is how the juvenile frogs were inept at earning a living........bloody sprogs..:laugh1:

Seriously, I trimmed it all over with hedgetrimmer, then finished all the edges and corners with topiary shears. A woman stopped and told me that "at Sissinghurst, they clip them properly, with nail scissors"!! Blow that, sez I:001_rolleyes:
