July 20th – “I’ll help Mum”

Cherries can be fatal to dogs

July 19th – Not another animal!!

The wife went out this morning and came back this afternoon with an elephant!…. OK – she went on a felting course, something she has wanted to do for a while, and her first creation was very impressive. I wonder if she could use that technique on my head so I can get some hairContinue reading “July 19th – Not another animal!!”

July 18th – Escaped prisoner

Have you seen this man

July 17th – Cake….

Mrs L has been doing the baking thing again. I wonder, does a slice of this carrot cake count as one of your 5 a day? It baffles me how food has developed over the years. Who first thought of putting yeast in bread, or vegetables in cake? I also wonder what we’ll be eatingContinue reading “July 17th – Cake….”

July 16th – Neighbours

Today’s picture is of our friendly neighbour, ‘Power-tool Phil’. We were talking about old children’s TV programs whilst having our socially distanced coffee, and it would appear he is putting on his own version of sooty and sweep, either that or he hasn’t read the instructions on his new fishing rod ….. Joking aside, PhilContinue reading “July 16th – Neighbours”

July 15th – Workshop progress

Today’s picture is of the new workshop under construction. Half of the roof is on, but I need to wait for some poly carbonate sheets for the other side. As I was building it, I couldn’t help thinking about all of the poor souls that don’t have one of the basic needs for any creatureContinue reading “July 15th – Workshop progress”

July 14th – workshop cupboard

Today’s picture/post is a bit different, and is connected to mental health. As you’ll see, there are numbers on each drawer in my workshop, and I have a white board detailing what they contain, for example, 4 contains plumbing stuff, 10 contains electrical stuff. When it comes to mental health, we sometimes need different toolsContinue reading “July 14th – workshop cupboard”

July 12th – Walkies ….

A lovely walk today with a few friends. It is easy to think you need to drive for hours to find somewhere nice, but there really are some hidden gems on you doorstep. The weather helped, as did the company, but it is always nice to get off the sofa and go for a strollContinue reading “July 12th – Walkies ….”

July 11th – Isolation …

Today’s picture is of a single poppy, amongst a field of oats. It’s OK to be different amongst the crowds, to be an individual, although sometimes it can be daunting. Be strong, be yourself.

July 9th – The commuter

Today’s picture is of a lady that we often see whilst walking the 4 legged children. She is either on her way to work or on her way home. I recall the commute I endured when working from the office. Stuck in traffic most days, trying to get to North Bristol, with a journey timeContinue reading “July 9th – The commuter”
