This is a secret bunker I have whittled out of the sandy soil bebneath the house, looking carefully you can see all the tree roots that make the growing of plants in the front garden an impossibility.
There are plans to extend it the five miles to work to enable me to keep cycling in the winter..............

Roof

Apparently this shows the difference between DIY and the pro`s, at the junction between ours and the neighbour`s flat roof. The mistake there is flat roof, but he has dealt with it admirably ane we have a roofing guy coming around in the morning/
Still typing with one finger here but hope to go live with both hands before Christmas, asdf..................

At long last I have my hands on a copy of the typing of the dead, a quick test shows my one fingered skills to be at the dizzy heights of seven words per minute . Yesterday, whilst writing a report a superior ( and lets face it they are all superior to me) was struck dumb, but gathered to hide his embarassment by stating that he wouldn`t take me in his Dept.
Well aside from not really wanting to go there, I am now learning to type as previously wished for on this blog.
Twenty years ago I got to the dizzy height of actually being able to do it, however slow, but stopped practicing for a life , or at least a beer or two.
So If I have the muscles in there somewhere I am going to forget that I can write and spell without spellcheck and join the 1990`s ( my college work was written in a beautiful fountain pen in the mid eighties).
Off to relax my arms...............

The day after Canada Day

Yesterday was my second Canada day, marked by the fact that I had to work 12 hours and got very hungry.





Should we should be thankful to the government that it passed without any of the pesky terrorist trouble currently blighting the motherland?
We should be thankful anyway, and keep on trying to be a moderate multi racial country with great weather and a nice line in keeping our neighbours to the south sane.
The tree outside my house now has 4 baby racoons it, the tour de France starts on le weekend ( they even have a Canadian in it) the tomato`s are comming on nicely life is good.
If only I could eat at a civilized hour...........
