Pic of the week 3/6/18
So half term draws to a sunny conclusion.
Weatherwise, its been an odd one – started of hot & sunny, but by Tuesday that changed and it has, at times, been wet, wet, wet. But yesterday and today have been scorchio – brilliant azure blue skies.
Midweek I set to building the new (final?) deck and graveling in front of the sitting room French doors. All materials bought from Bradfords, am pleased with the results.
Yesterday I ran my first Park Run. Enjoyed it, running with others was an enjoyable change, and good for my pace. Ran the 5k in 22:49, the fastest I have run since my injury and it did help me run a little quicker today (ran my 7K loop.) Will run the Park Run again in the hols.
And we’ve got a robin nesting in one of the small metal trugs opposite the kitchen door. Its been flitting in and out all week and now there are eggs in the nest. Hope they survive the attentions of the neighbourhood cats …
On the garden front, at the start of this week I pulled up the Forget Me Nots and at the end of the week, planted runner bean and pea seeds.
Mini brake warning light came in so booked it in for the pads to be changed. Alas, the anti-rattle spring had corroded into the brake caliper (dis-similar metal corrosion: spring is aluminium, caliper, steel) so had to have a new caliper as well. Ouch! No change from £470. At least the sun has been shining, allowing some top down motoring, which is fun.
