Re: Hooray Hall. Adventures of a Handyman pt2

I have a lot to tell you if I ever get enough time to write it all down.

I hope you do, I love reading about your 'adventures.' In fact you could write a book.

Must tell you that Millie the Cat is now settled in as the Maddest most eccentric cat I have ever had.

Then we have a juvenile Squirrel that has move into the Hall.

Of course you can guess who got the job of cleaning up the droppings.

Look on the bright side.

At least you can say with some authority whether or not Millie is nuttier than squirrel poo.

Hi all, it's all right I haven't forgotten the old thread. It's that busy dawn till dusk time of year in the garden.

Ouch I an hurting tonight cos my bad knee is playing up on account of spending the last moth on them polishing floors, laying new sections of lawn and weeding. Then to top it off I got badly sunburned again today. Anyone want to fry an egg, my arms and neck are available for hire

Must tell you that Millie the Cat is now settled in as the Maddest most eccentric cat I have ever had.

OK so Cat Lovers will agree, Cats don't have owners they have servants.

She is best of mates with Cassie the youngest Border Terrier, the go out playing tag and hunting mice together.

The Cat thinks she's a Dog and the Dog thinks she's a Cat. It really is a crazy mixed up world. Then we have a juvenile Squirrel that has move into the Hall. Lady Hooray found it sat on the sideboard tucking into the bowl of nuts that stands next to the 200 year old Venetian decanter of vintage Port. Even her terriers were so shocked they forgot to chase it

That will teach her to leave the doors open, after the Sqiggle left she got a family of Swallows flying round the drawing room looking to build a nest in the ceiling beams.



Of course you can guess who got the job of cleaning up the droppings.

Och pants Handy

I am recovering nicely from my psychotic episode of the weekend so feeling pucker this am and the sun is out. Alas I'm tired from being up since 6 and I have a wee walk out to the post office this am to get a parcel but still. The walk will do me good (she says) and then a walk to volunteering this pm. Exercise is good for you right?

Boys are good. Ma isn't moaning too much. House is getting slowly tidy. Waiting to hear about an OU course in the winter so that should be good..

Pray everyone is well

No need Clever, she can wreck her own cars all to easily.

Last week I noticed the back bumper of the Swedish Low Flying Aircraft, the red car was hanging off. She was insistant that it must have happened in the Sh1terose car park.

A day later she came back from the post office, now she doesn't go to the post office in town as this will mean having to walk a 100 yards from the car park. No she goes to the one in a local village where you approach down a single track road. 3 times now she has scuffed the other car, a top of the range German 4x4 panzer.

She said a Bally Woman wouldn't give way to me so I pulled onto the verge and I think I may have scraped my sill on some stones in the long grass.

I couldn't see any damage to the sill, but when I looked at the front near side wing there was £100 worth of damage about 2 feet from the ground.

Now I have explained till I am blue in the face that when you hear an unbroken tone this means that the Front and Rear anti collision sensors are telling you that you have hit something

Still the upshot is that I send the local bodyshop that much business, I get mates rates when I need any paintwork doing on my own car.

Good job she never heard me muttering, keep death off the roads, drive on the pavements.

Regards all, Handy

Re: Hooray Hall. Adventures of a Handyman pt2

Morning all.
Surprise of my life yesterday morning, the boss was as pleasant as you could get and even asked if I had enjoyed my weekend

I spent the full day weeding the garden. Then she got the face on because I wouldn't work past 5.30 just because she decided she would weed part of the garden herself.

I thought that 8 hours on my hands and knees in the borders was enough for one day.

More of the same today. She said I must have been letting things slip. Does she not realise that if you remove all the ground cover plants like the Alchemilla and Wild Geranium and don't mulch you will get weeds and self seeders.

The gardens were originally planted by professionals, but then she knows more about gardening than they did.

Moan over, at least its going to be dry today so that means an hour with the hose pipe watering up this evening.
Of course this will have to be done at sun down which means it will be in my time

Regards all, Handy

Re: Hooray Hall. Adventures of a Handyman pt2

good to have you back Handy.

Re: Hooray Hall. Adventures of a Handyman pt2

Nice to see you back Handy

[Handyman]

Re: Hooray Hall. Adventures of a Handyman pt2

Morning all, we got back safe late last night or was it early this morning?

Time to go and see what Her Ladyship has to complain about. There is always something that needed doing or went wrong while we have a weekend away.

Anyway Millie the cat enjoyed the trip. We took her with us as we were worried that she hasn't been with us long enough to leave on her own.

So if anyone saw a cat in the rear window of a car on the M5 yesterday evening you didn't imagine it.

Watching her use the litter tray on the move was something else

She even enjoyed her stay at the Travel Lodge, I just hope she didn't come away with more Fleas than she left.

Regards all, Handy
