It was great to have the long weekend. I’m beginning to think that every weekend should be four days!

My wife gave the BBQ a thorough Spring clean while I focused on unscheduled lawnmower maintenance. First BBQ in warm weather is always a treat, and the lawnmower started with first pull, so that was nice.

I think so. But then again, I had read the books beforehand, which made it easier to get going.

I quite like the Apple TV adaptation of Slow Horses. Gary Oldman as Jackson Lamb is simply brilliant.

If it’s in a lorry, is it parked? That is, if the lorry isn’t parked. This is confusing.

That sounds like a lot of complication for a humble lawnmower.

I’ve been working a new roofed decking where BBQ and Ooni pizza oven will go. I bought the pizza oven as a bit of an impulse thing and didn’t really think where it will go, so now I have a building project to deal with.

Yesterday the weather was great so I just kept going for far too long for my age. It turns out roofing in April sunshine is exhausting and seemingly requires muscles I don’t appear to be using that often. On the bright side I did not burn myself as I slapped plenty of SPF 50 on.

I also did a good few walks with our dogs and explored new forrest paths we haven’t been to before. We knew of them but never got round going there.

I’d call this a very good week.

And totally no sore muscles tomorrow morning.

I need to complete the deck first…

I forgot suncream the other day. I will not make that mistake again. Until next Spring, anyway.

Working on a deck in back garden. Looks like the weather will be favourable.

I think you nailed it, a tempting target for spare milkshakes.

Looks like the logical outcome when (well, hopefully if) the surveillance capitalism fully takes over the Government.
