Friday fread - eviltoast

Kickin’ in the front seat or sittin’ in the back seat: which is it today folks?

Workwise, it should be ok today, then - rain permitting - I have a bat monitoring session this evening. That might be pushed to next weekend though (I’d get to watch the Perseids at the same time, if it was, by the look of it).

And then out to an open air production of A Winter’s Tale tomorrow night - also rain permitting and the forecast is currently saying it won’t.

What have you got lined up?

    Building a deck! Posts and frame went in last night. Today it’s joists and deck boards. So naturally I have to get down to Wickes to buy some bits and bobs I forgot.

      It’s always the bits and bobs that get you!

      Good luck and we’d love to see some pics when it’s up!

        Not quite finished.

        About 20 screws short, plus at least one more deck board needed for the edge due to my wonky maths. Might add a step to that near side - the garden has more of a slope that I realised! However, the whole garden is very much a work in progress. We moved in last September and it was an overgrown nightmare of dead trees and rocks. Just the other week we had filled a skip with 5 tons of rocks, slabs and concrete from this area.

        Edit - the before photo. I think this might have been from the viewing which was 6 months before we moved. When we got here it was much more overgrown
