RetainMansQuest: Been on with patching up this disaster of a retaining wall the next village over.
A lot of interesting stuff going on here. Wall built on top of an existing wall, then backfilled with bits of bone, crockery and ya grandma’s ol’ boots.
I’ll be back here at some point for sure…. Grand!

MixedDayMansDelight: The day started off with a sprinkle of snow, which I couldn’t really be bothered to with working in today.

Took the truck for its MOT , which it passed.

Managed to lock my keys in my truck while I was at the workshop.. annoying.

Went sledging after school with Theo, which was ace!

Penny made some lovely cat biscuits .. Nice.
