Apples & pears

These grew in our garden.

There would have been a lot more if I’d included the ones that creatures have begun to eat.

Door

I made a new door for the passage; quite happy with it.

Something for the weekend

The kitchen is progressing, although I’m not expecting it to be finished sometime soon.

While I was plastering my second in command was building a wood store.

From 100% recycled wood and all by herself.

When in our local for a well earned beer, I mentioned to Phil (barman, on a Thursday) that we have a new woodshed.

He very quickly made the connection with the Divine Comedy and found Something for the Weekend on Spotify.

It was with regret that I left.

Concrete

After erecting our new hammock (for the second time), I was left with a huge lump of concrete. While tidying up the garden today, I managed to motivate myself sufficiently to pick up a sledgehammer. After an hour and a half’s bashing, it gave up the fight and now rests in several rubble sacks.

My arms may now be shaking, but I feel somewhat satisfied with my efforts.

Hammock

This evening was perfect for lying in a hammock with a beer. In our garden. Memories of a field (or several) in Somerset.

Brewery update

My back aches considerably, but I’ve made further progress with the shed. The light was fading by the time I’d finished for the day, though, so the picture doesn’t do it justice.

Oh, and I’ve now gotten around to adding some pictures of my previous attempt to make the shed usable.

Man cave update

Even though I’d not recovered from moving a huge amount of firewood the other day, I began plastering ~~the shed~~ the sodhouse bank brewery today. I may do more tomorrow. Or another day.

Man cave update

It’s messy and doesn’t smell nice, but hopefully it’ll be worth the effort. Ideally, I’d like to finish before the weather gets too bad, but I’m not going to rush.
