May Bank holiday 2026,

 Been a good Bank holiday for me

 up to now, watch someone louse it up!.

 Following on from our rear guttering mentioned in the last post, my mate and I had our front guttering done and as you can see looking a lot better.



The gable end.

My friend Jean and I had a trip to the Bridge View Café, where there was a 90th birthday party this past week, Christopher the singer was there and everyone appreciated that.

Finished this jigsaw this week too.


Had a visit to the Debdale ressers to see how the Great Crested Grebes were getting on, and the lady is still sitting on her nest 



The Male was hunting far and wide to keep her well fed!.

This sign up to try to stop people feeding the birds.
Shame the birds can't read it, they have build their nest just within that area!






Was a nice sunny day.

The magpies and crows enjoying my peanuts!.


That's a good idea for the bins, as it keeps the crows and squirrels from emptying it looking for dinner.

Today Sunday, treated myself to a Costa Café.
I had a gift card so my Medium Coffee was free!.
Wiltshire Ham and cheese Toastie, very nice and had a game of Gin Rummy on my phone, nice and quiet no rowdy kids.

The last few days, my mate and his wife have been replacing their fencing, big job 11 panels, that's  22 sides to paint!!.

 All finished, I'll bet they'll sleep tonight.

They also told me about some clips from Amazon to stop the fences rattling, so I bought some too and I've put mine up and they are very good though the screws supplied are not very good!.


Had to adapt this end one, but they are easy enough to bend!
While working in the garden they noticed a large Wasp nest, and I mean Large it's as big as a football!.

 Off to Morrisons tomorrow for lunch, quite a few of my friends going, has I checked if they were open on Bank holiday Monday and they are!.
