Can't really blame them, although the landlord at The Shed & Birdbath has expressed an interest.

He would like to discuss the matter further, apparently.

IOTN: managed to last until 0630hrs this morn, before needing a pee, which is nice, however, I have now rigged a pump-out system utilising an empty barrel for the anticipated urine evacuation requirements, and no mistake... needs must!

Pout
Evening old boy. I have to say I'm quite concerned having read this, have you discussed the matter with Dr Gleadle?

For heaven's sake be careful rigging stuff like that up, you'll do yourself a bloody mischief.
No worries Bomma, old chap, it's an indirect vacuum system rigged to a float valve which activates the sails on the old Mill to power the pump and open the sluice gates which turns the mill-wheel that rotates the grinding stones to produce the flour which is used to bake the bread and caaaakes, on the estate!

Easy, and all I need to do is extract the urine into the barrel... bounce

It was put together from a few bits salvaged from the toilet on that there 707 behind Hangar 13, should be fine...

Is it sung to the tune of There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly?

To power the pump
To open the sluice

Pyr fox was wandering round the garden again,so I popped out and put a can of dig food out for him!!
If that's a fox, it's full of mange, judging by that there foto image, Bobbers. Can you alert the RSPCA to come, check and rescue?

I'm not convinced it has mange, the photo is at full zoom on my useless phone camera, to the naked eye he's got a full compliment of fur.

I guess it might, further down the system, but at the top of the supply chain all that is required is an ahhhh.... then back to bed!

Simples...

OK, that's reassuring Bobbers. As you say, your new fone is useless for long distance fotograffy...

Can't really blame them, although the landlord at The Shed & Birdbath has expressed an interest.

Oh, no. A bidding war has broken out between the rival landlords.

They're up to fifteen quid already. The artist is mortified.

Don't forget the sellers commission, the VAT, the import duties, carriage fees, postage and packing, buyers tax, and of course my fees!!!

nono That'll never work, you can clearly see the googleflange is inverted, which will cause a vacuum on the sphincter multiplier return inducer, creating a negative suction implosion, resulting in a catastrophic syphon failure!!!

Interesting. It could become the most expensive pub artifact sold in Trivinghamshire since Frank purchased the replica Charles & Di soap dispenser for twenty two nicker back in 2012.

It still has pride of place in the ladies loo.

I am pleased to report that a further fencing session has been carried out during a weather window which opened up this afternoon.
A replacement post and a further heavy duty waney lap panel have been erected, secured in place. Top trellis section foe this panel is pending.
I am very pleased with the level of levellytiness, and the verticality of my splendid erection, according to the goldfish fart bubbles in glycol.

Dinner has been cooked and consumed, that's the last of the "Wonderfully Tender" tough-as-old-boots Tennessee British Beef Steaks. I shan't be buying those again!

Once again, slicing them into thin strips, braising them for a long time on a low light rendered them chewable, incorporated into a stir-fry with mixed veg, stock, and noodles, and buttered spinach.

Not nom, but reasonably palatable after remedial measures. Yes, I know Tuesday should be soooo-oooop, but I couldn't be arsed to render all the carcarsses for hours at current energy prices.

More Robbopopping duties tomorrow, commencing at 08:10hrs.

In a break with tradition, tomorrow will be lamb chops. lick


That's a strange looking fox, Bobbers.

I am pondering whether or not to install a badger flap in the last fence panel. scratchchin Doing so may save a lot of underfence scrabbling/tunnelling/headbutting through 9mm thick lapped panels. Boris is quite a determined badger.
