I’m glad you put that last post up, it shows that even with all the sh*t in the world most of the time life’s not that bad, If you need a new call bird I can paint the mother-in-law’s budgie black and white and send it to you

Exactly mate. That's why I sent that photo home; all I'd done all day was moan & swear. Then I thought of my wife & kids stuck in house. Some people have lost their partner of 60yrs. Some people have lost siblings. Some people have lost their jobs. It's shittý. 

So I cuddled some lambs!!

Nowt to do with shooting but Im really enjoying my new workshop, no oil or grease, just the sound of lambs and song birds, very different to smashing away at trucks, this weeks job is a tennis lawn and to finish the week off a bit of fence repairs and a couple of field gates, all the while still offering my pest control skills to these town folk who have moved to the countryside

Not sure how I’ll cope in the winter

Big pants and some books to read ,back in the day roofing rain ment an empty flask and finished crossword. The answers were bull feathers but we filled it in

My little mate Hugo told his Mam that he wanted a climbing frame like the one at school with a swing, she said to him that they are to expensive at the minute and sent me a picture say can you do this, so I got a few bits together and went this morning, all I’ve got to do is fit the tyre swing when I get the fixings, he looked over the moon looking at me through the window, still not really understanding why he can’t come an give me a hand, but at least I got it done quicker without him running around with my drill putting holes in the fence
