its the day of rest so I've got lots on to do,just fixed the kitchen table as it was wobbly at the joints added glue and thicker gauge screws,seems sturdy now,added some casters to the legs to facilitate it moving at mealtimes.
  Sadly missed church today,petrol's short and got no money,so we are going to messy church this afternoon instead and hopefully there will be enough petrol for the school run in the morrow.

 roast chicken is in the oven rubbed with smoked paprika ,sage and chicken oxo,smells mighty fine! the spuds and parsnips are in now too,the boys love a roast. not sure about pudding as we will get a snack at messy church at 4pm,maybe a doggy bag is needed!
  have an urge to do some crafts today,i want to start the chess set pieces ,its gonna be a hard job ,unsure what woods to use Ive got some hornbeam in the shed as well as lots of other stuff,maybe i should get some Lyme wood to carve ,not sure of the cost though.The decoy duck is on the back burner i must get on with it this week,Tuesday is Giro day,don't know why we still call it that as no one gets a giro anymore it goes in the bank,and it seems wrong to call it pay as i haven't worked,still at least I've contributed to the system,on the news they reckoned that migration from outside the EU has cost 130,000 British jobs! so some git has the job i need,when will the government see that it isn't racism to kick these illegals out ,imagine these Lilly livered governments fighting WW2?! 'oh you cant intern these Germans they've got human rights you know!'  'oh don't drop bombs on the Germans its nasty' , we would all be talking German now! mind you having said that Germany is the leading power in the EU  so they won in the end eh! i heard on the wireless that Germany and France are printing deutch marks and french francs 'secretly' in case the euro collapses,and i hope it does.
  The wind has finally dropped  and there is a bit of sun,the week ahead looks dire though,i yearn for crisp frosty morns,nothing like it for a walk with the dogs.Been seeing masses of deer around here lately saw 2 yesterday run in front of the car,roe deer they were up by west knoyle,very dark in colour compared to most here,I've got a replacement deer arriving today so the freezer will be looking better.Its about time Skippy earned his keep on the venison and hare front,if we get a dry night ill take him out with the lamp.
