No, I'm in the office looking at the lovely day through the windows.
Somebody elses project has created a big mess and as they're on holiday muggins 'ere has had to come in to sort it all out. No doubt the sun will be going down by the time I get out.

Started out great .Took the wife and staff to a place called Home woods near were i live,dew still in the grass >lovely and clear morning.Then the dog started passing blood and that made us freak out so have spent the rest of the day worrying about my little staff hoping the vet can get her back to good health

Spent the morning at work (until 14:00)

Then after getting home, it was out on the bike for an hour in the blazing sun.
I need to make myself suffer a bit, so I was wearing a t-shirt, long-sleeve jersey, bib-shorts & thermal bib-tights :shock:

It was still better than being up the ladder yesterday afternoon painting stone lintels & window sills :lol:

As always I spend ages putting jobs off until the weather improves, now it has it's too b****y hot to do anything :?

Managed to swap the exhaust on the LSE on Wed, all I've done since is "test" it :)

tomarse · « **Reply #13 on:** April 16, 2007, 09:56:54 »

I managed to get sunburnt this weekend by spending the weekend out in the garden doing jobs. :D
This is a sign of a great weekend! :lol:

I was welding gates and a few peoples cars on saturday and kept putting my long sleeved jumper back on to weld (i got welders tan last month and it wasnt nice!) and still managed to catch the sun :)

Spent it up on Salisbury plain getting covered in dust :) The when it cooled off I got to give the zook a sponge bath, although I did pressure wash the doors. Love the feeling when its been a hot, sticky day and you get the mist off the jetwash blowing back at you.

I spent most of the weekend half in and half out of the Dakar swapping the driver's seat over. Grrrrr...

It's a Cobra seat and the bolts that hold the slide frame to the seat proper screw into a "threaded hole" that's an interference fit in the frame. Repeatedly dropping (cough) 18 stone of me onto it seems to have loosened the fitting somewhat.

At least with the swap I can take my time to fix it properly.

We took the caravan to Selby and on to Northumberland just in time for the best of the weather. I'd post piccys but we can't find the USB lead for the camera :x The dog had a great time.

Richo - I hope your dog will be OK. That doesn't sound good. Keep us posted.

No, it's a Cherry tree. The Hawthorn are in full bloom as you say.
The leaves are coming out on the Oak at the moment - way too early.
