Fine morning in Newark, busy market with plenty of stalls which is always nice to see, a strange thing on the market was this giant ironically next to the fresh fish van . sommat to do with save the whales I think unless we had one hell of a storm last night it got washed up from Skegness, Lovely walk in the sunshine around the castle garden before the clouds took over Mrs P among the tulips Shed time now so catch you all later Rog

Might give them a try Mrs B, thanks for the info Rog

Good frost again this morning at 05.45 but cleared away nicely by 07.15, off to Newark in a bit so catch you all later have a great day everyone Rog

Anyroad to get back on topic, today I went to the nearest petrol station (Hykeham A46) to fuel up the car, had a coffee when I got back then decided to wash the car, something therapeutic about washing the car, ran out of car shampoo so had to use next best thing which was Radox Bath Soak, I now have a very relaxed car, the monthly local magazines were delivered to me when I was doing the car and looking at the local weather forecast for tomorrow (I usually deliver the mags on a Saturday) it said heavy rain/showers so decided to deliver them today, 45 copies the other end of the village 40 min

It;s one of them 12 volt thingies that ramp up to really high voltage but low amperage or sommat, no enough to kill em but give a hefty wack, still prefer a piece of 5.52mm lead Rog

Very expensive and the scent has gone after the first rain shower, guy down the road tried it, he's now put electric wires on top of his fence like the farmers use to keep animals in the fields Rog

I know it was, hence the clapping and shouting all night comment, they are a pain in the ar$e though Rog

And then they come back and crap on the garden again unless you want to wait outside all day and night clapping and shouting, I'm afraid it's gone beyond that Brew, Rog

Tried everything Phil, neighbour across the road spent over two hundred quid having proper spikes fitted along her wooden fence, a week later one of the things was sat on the fence, You can't say we haven't tried Rog

I have three options left to me for the cat problem that is plaguing our close, 1 Catapult and .38 cal ball bearings 2 air rifle 3 four pronged bayonet (garden fork) Why should I have to go around my garden every morning to clear away cat crap and being a bird lover why should I have to witness these creatures killing birds and raiding nests with young I have tried every thing I can think of to stop the problem from electronic scarers through to netting on my garden and nothing seems to stop them so as far as I can see the final solution is the only way, I'm sorry if

Have the cats shot Lizzie, bloody nuisances Rog

there's quite a few people in the asda at 06.00, the idea of going that early is the shopping is out of the way and the rest of the day is our own, bit of a bind getting up an hour or so earlier than usual but worth it' B, don't know about action man more like inaction man this past few days with this cold and windy weather but summer is forecast for one day in May this year so looking forward to getting all the outdoor jobs done on that day, Tomorrow is car wash day and get it fuelled up, maybe a bit of work in the greenhouse too Rog

Afraid not Phil, up early (04.30) this morning, breakfast and coffee then off to the asda at Hykeham for the weekly shop, home by .6.45, more coffee, watched that clown Henry Cole (shed and buried) for half an hour then in the shed to do a bit of woodwork, cutting out new arms and legs for the next batch of gollyfrogs and frogs, then back indoors by 09.00 and thats where I stayed for the rest of the day, bloody cold here although that wind has now dropped and the sun has just started to appear eleven hours too late, never mind there's always tomorrow, hope everyone else has had a good day

That would be Sandtoft I think, some trolley buses there including a couple of NCT ones Rog

Lincolnshire transport museum Hykeham open days 30 June 27 October free admission, refreshments available at reasonable cost also open Sundays 11.00 till 16.00 but no buses running then A few pics of what they have Plenty more on show than these few Rog
