Oooh DITW, birthdays are for sharing   ;D.   Chocolate cake  :yum:

Instead I've had a wisp bar and egg sarni while sanding the door in the bathroom ready to paint today, along with the ceiling  :huff:

Having a break from pointing up some brickwork around the new windows I put in a few months ago! Ooops It was too hot back then and now the wind is blowing cold air up my jumper, trouser legs and down my collar and out thru my sleeves. And to think I should have done this job in the sun just wearing my cut down jean shorts and a bandana  ;D - not a pretty sight.

I am working in the cellar - out of the rain and wind and warmer in there than outside. Our water meter is in the cellar and it exploded in the "big freeze" we had. So I'm boarding up and insulating the ceiling window/vents to stop cold air falling in from ground level then making a box with insulation around the water meter and the odd array of water pipes in there. The pipes then go underground to the house so may be a few more inched of soil above them will stop them freezing this year.
OR - I could sit here in front of the fire  :innocent:

Cleaned out the pony, the nesting boxes (too muddy to push the wheelbarrow and do the whole of the hen houses) the ducks , the ducklings and the goats all with the " help" of 2 pygmy goats. I'm sure that it used to take half the time it does now  ::)  Will be sitting down later to some lovely roast pork(thank you Sparticus) :pig:

I have just planted out my onion sets,

That's what I meant to do - but after Friday's big floods we had more rain today... I think anything I'd get into the ground now would just rot away. (I have autumn planting broad beans and peas, too.) So instead I've been sitting indoors, done some baking and a lot of knitting - it's getting colder and I need a warm jumper!

Took on three new portfolios at work (NHS meltdown) - only to discover that they all need complicated business case/service redesign work doing on them :-(

Hey ho - never a dull moment

Reports from DH are that house is going great. All subbies on site today beavering away at the final details. The kitchen is beautiful and I couldn't stop hanging around in there over the weekend :-)

Cleaning out the kitchen cupboards, can't think of a use for 3 tins of out of date orange segments,2 of pears and some very solid strawberry jam.

Finishing cleaning the freezer and fetching the meat back from the original 4 Castlemilk Moorit wethers.

Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing
