THE LAST SHOVEL

SATURDAY
Spent a good part of the afternoon loading the gravel on to the trailer over the road opposite to us i reckon i have a good third of it shifted i showered i ache across my shoulders i am not use to manual work anymore .

Went to a local Inn The Sun for eats with Charlie and Erin first they had no steak then they forgot to cook my dinner i ordered the same as Helen Fish then they made a mess of the deserts even the chef said he id not expect us to eat them as they where poor quality , so why send them to the table but we had a laugh regardless and did not suffer food poisoning and it was only five minutes up the road might go there for drinks again won't be going back for the food .

SUNDAY
Moved the last of the pea gravel i lost count of the shovels and the wheel barrows all i know is its all off our garden some of it or most  is in the trailer parked up across the road the other barrow loads on a neigh-boughs drive as requested .

We had full English breakfast cooked for us by Helen , Erin stayed the night seeing that we have an extra bedroom in the can .
Helen's Mum and Dad called over we took took them to the Strines Inn we had giant Yorkshire pudding filled with roast beef and veg washed down by a pint of apple cider .

MONDAY
My second week off the first week went fairly slow but the second week will fly by and i will be back at work in a blink of a eye .

We are getting three ton of top soil on Wednesday our friend Charlie is bringing it over for us on his trailer then all we need is the grass seed the sun and rain for our new green lawn hopefully .

The can is still great we enjoy it immensely we have been sitting on the decking for our breakfast and through out the day and evening , and we love living here it is our home and just because it is not bricks and mortar makes no difference to us at all.

Tomorrow i will wash all the windows with the hose and  mop that will take a good half hour i still need to clean the gutters out but this is not possible until i have a ladder to work of.

Watching Pilot episodes of  - " Blindspot" and " Minority Report ".
