  • A nasty storm came out of nowhere on Saturday afternoon, it was rather noisy. The morning kept us pretty wet too. My mate borrowed my neighbour’s mini excavator. He stopped it after using it for about ten minutes then it wouldn’t start again. After a bit of running around from both of us getting the right tools from both our houses we established that the starter motor is stuffed. So the excavator is sat in a garden until we source a new starter motor.

    Woke up to a very sad sight yesterday morning. I have plenty of Curlews around my place, and I’ve been lucky to witness a chick growing up. I found it dead right outside my house. It was a fair few months old and over half grown. A bloke across the road is a “cat lover” and looks after two…that roam around all night. Unsure if that’s what’s happened here. I mean if a cat was going to attack it would more likely go for it while it was small I reckon. Anyway, I unceremoniously dumped it in my wheelybin. Not great I know. So sad.

    I went for a few drinks and dinner last night to say farewell to my neighbours that are leaving for fifteen weeks. I didn’t eat and also I went to a different neighbours house for cocktails afterwards. I am writing this at 4:30 on the ferry. Thank goodness I can get a ride into work at the other end. Also we have a breath tester at work, that I mounted on the wall a few months ago, and I shall give that a try when I get there in an hour. Uuuuurggghhhh.

    Have a lovely Friday, enjoy the weekend.

    Edit to add. Oh Jesus, I just blew in the alcohol machine at work at 5:50. 0.049. Not clever at all.
