Easy to keep clean mate 

I know, but come on, they are bloody rabbits, most normal people keep them in a hutch and don’t get their husband to build them their own shed and are 8 not 38 ( by the way, I wouldn’t say this to her )

Good shift tonight - everything went well and I got all of my trains in and away a little early

 

Apparently that is the longest railway gantry in the country - I have no idea if that's true, it's what one of our lads told me. It supports the overhead power lines outside the yard.

 

The Pheasant berries have ripened a bit early - they're quite nice, they taste like caramel. 

 

And, I found out that hedgehogs can get the hump

.......... this little one was in the middle of one of the tracks - I think he was too small to climb out over the rail.

He was making a hissing sound when I got near him and, every time I touched him he made a quick grunting sound and pushed his spikes towards my hand. I put him on open ground so that he can feck off in safety and be grumpy somewhere else

They're ok mate - they protect the back of your knuckles pretty well but, they wear out at the palm in a week if you're heavy handed.

 

I'm on nights in Newport all week if you want to come and grab a pair

Clearing out of date ppe and covid tests, anyone that still don’t think this was a big scam must need there bumps rubbed spent an hour in the wood watching a couple of young roe does, one of them came to within a few feet of me but I never had my iPad to take a pic but that’s my therapy from bed checks and clearing all this shit, recon another two or three skips should do it

All timbers cut and fitted, he didn’t trust me to box out for the velux so he did that, must of thought I’d worn my tape measure out doing everything else, anyway, another skill learned today

I always take the work when it’s there, because one day it might not be, it’s a shame a lot of the young’uns aren’t like that, the amount we’ve had that want a few quid and manage a day before rapping is ridiculous, I’ve given up asking now and just do it myself
