Job done

Another day, another job on the list done. I've built a retaining wall in the garden and replaced the brickwork around the steps and begun to have a little more faith that it will stand up until the end of the holidays, as it is still stood there at the end of the day.

It didn't take too long which meant we got to have a trip out to Blashford Lakes this afternoon. We saw a heron close to one of the hides and watched it stab its beak into the water and emerge with a small fish which was gulped down in a single swallow. The woodland hide was busy but we spent most of our time by a small river where Maria was throwing sticks into the water whilst we had a coffee.

There was still time for a bike ride, just a short jaunt today but the best thing was the puncture repair seemed to have worked. instead it seems I've not quite got the wheel in the right place as the gears were slipping, hence the shorter ride.

Tomorrow will see the first report for the Monday night football with Sparkshop reborn as Werder Beermen.
