I have managed some further progress with the fencing, despite getting very very moist.
This was not due to over-excitement, it was just inclement wevva.
Mrs Robbo is unhappy because the fence panels are stepped as I have progressively installed them down our sloping boundary.
Apparently they look awful like that, and she expects them to be all the same height and level with each other along the tops.
I told her I was not prepared to mount the furthest fence panels on stilts to accommodate her strange desires, nor would I install 9ft high panels at the lower end of the run which would block the sunlight from our garden. Plus it would require fence posts over 3.5 metres tall and the longest ones in stock at Wickes are just 2.8m
I suppose I could have erected the posts at an angle to suit the slope of the garden, but I would have suffered from itchy teeth every time I looked at such a wonky arrangement.
On a positive note, our neighbour is delighted with progress so far. (They have already contributed 50% of the cost of materials so that's a blessing.)
Robbopopping duties again tomorrow, commencing 08:10hrs. (Lates)
Weather permitting, I will have a 2.5 hour window of fencing opportunity whilst Robbopoppetlet attends Nursery School in the afternoon.
I'm glad I don't have a 4hr drive prior and subsequent to babysitting.

It seems today I have been volunteered to take my 1 and 2 year old grandchildren to the softplay area for 2 hours. Both run around like crazy, so if you see a bampi has collapsed and died in the news...
Noooooo. Who would control Donald Trump?
Byker, be careful if you have a go on the bouncy space hopper:
Last time I tried, I did myself a mischief when the bloody thing went out of control and I went arse over apex and ended up in the ball pool.
It's no laughing matter

Depeche Mode will be the soundtrack to my day
Another gruelling day in the Scrungeon, your Mercilessnessness?.https://youtu.be/IsvfofcIE1Q
The sad news of Andy Fletcher’s passing away has made me realise just how much Depeche Mode have been the go to soundtrack for most of my life.
The scrumplets used to occasionally search through the hard drive in my car trying to find some ‘decent’ music. It has an eclectic mix of new and old music which I change now and again but they always rolled their eyes as the majority of music on there is Depeche Mode and DM remixes.

Such dedication to his craft.
I would have thought unidexter Dudley Moore would have been the casting dept's first choice...

In times of strife and nagging self doubt, I take a slight pause, scratch my chin and say “what would Pete & Dud do...?”
Currently marooned at oh so cosmopolitan Bletchley, watching one of David Cironi’s YouTube clips about an old FIat 850 owned by a lovely 94 year old Italian lady who bought it new in 1968. Simple pleasures.
