Trying to decipher poorly worded emails from management types of "younger years" fed on buzz words and infographics  , lucky my mobile office is far enough away to prevent twatting the sod's with their keyboards, my assistant / driver suggests the use of a rough end of a pineapple on them , she of a convent upbringing and all .

Made masses of herb butter for the winter months, winter is coming soon here, so needed to get the last of the herbs in. And when the store had butter on sale, it was a obvious what to do.

Today i have been mainly de-weeding the front path and laying down a weed barrier membrane, then recovering it with chuckies. One of those jobs i've been putting off for ages but it was one i could tick off the long list of jobs to be done. Next on the list is to fill the raised beds i built earlier in the week with topsoil and compost
I'm not scared to be seen, I make no apologies. This is me!

My late mother-in-law used to 'accidentally' buy wool every time she went into a wool shop. The lake district wool shops was like heaven to her.

It's funny how it falls into my bag every time I go near any yarn.  :roflanim:

Funny the number of times I havent been paying full attention when shopping and find myself guided into the wool section by my other half. I see all the rows of wool and think... she's done it again!!
If you cant beat 'em then at least bugger 'em about a bit.

cleaning buildings mainly and feeding animals. Trying to sell some surplus animals :)
the most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, loving concern.

Had a face to face meeting with the management, I enjoyed it, lots .
 I came out a winner because I am "arrogant and assertive " oh and right  :innocent: , it also helped that I knew that they knew what they thought I knew , but were wrong.   :roflanim:
Anyway my assistant and I went home very happy. and hugged the goats who speak more sense about oilfield logistics

Making plans with my carpenter friend who removed the goat shed yesterday and is tidying the site today and tomorrow. He's taken all the reusable wood (with my blessing) but I will need to sort out a fire to get rid of a lot then he can return and make the raised beds.
