Welcome to family, friends and visitors. Here you will find interesting (hopefully) pictures of my part of the world, news of our household and probably, long ramblings about anything that catches my interest.

Sunny.

No good news yet from Ukraine.
Street art in Prague.
Blue skies again today though I just caught the end of the weather forecast and it talked of dropping temperatures and even snow in places!
We were still in bed this morning when the other builders turned up to begin replacing the flat roof over the kitchen. The amiable boss of that lot is not good at communicating with his customers which can put his lads in awkward situations. I thought they were just going to stick a new sheet of rubber over the old new roof but today they put down another layer of boards. They've spread out the rubber sheet over the boards and will be back tomorrow to stick it down and replace the gutters and fascia boards.
Now we have another problem. There is some sort of blockage with our main drainage system. Peter has phoned the drain company and they will be coming sometime this week. Hopefully it won't get worse in the meantime.
Peter had another go at cutting the concrete in the back garden but as fast as he attempts a repair on his ancient grinder he runs into a new problem. He's been on the phone to the company and it's all a matter of the old models being millimeters different to the current ones. He's waiting for one more part after which he'll admit defeat and buy a new grinder. (Cheaper than paying a builder.) I did what I could to dump hardcore and gravel where the paving slabs are due to go but I really need to wait until the concrete is cut.
For the rest of the day I've been making coffee for the builders, DuoLingo, pedalling on the exercise bike and admin. I posted the photo of the horse jumping on the local FB page and was given the information to contact the rider. She was very happy to have that and a few other photos sent to her.
