A long doggy tale & stacking the wood

Behold the canine centipede
The dogs owner was taking a panoramic pic of his garden when the dog wandered through the shot.  The result is a dog with multiple legs and curving body!





A very long article on Quartz about the Bitcoin
The leader though is my point here.  So many people seem to be relieved of their bitcoins by cyber raids on the supposedly secure "bitcoin wallets"
An investment not for the feint of heart methinks - - -



nun in Italy  has a baby and no one appears to have asked the question "who's the father?"
The story is peppered with quotes like Nun: "I did not know I was pregnant. I only had stomach pain" Local Pastor: Don Fabrizio Borelio believes that the nun is telling the truth unaware of her pregnancy"
The only bit that appears to make any sense is a quote from a study of "virgin birth" claims:  "researchers need to take into account the possibility of fallible memory on the part of respondents"  Mmmmmm - - -

A tragic tale of a young boy going to a rave then taking ecstacy and dying later in hospital.
 This story by Sky News is repeated across the media with some reports of 3 young men arrested for selling drugs at the rave which the police shut down in the end.
The Mail  coverage of the story starts with the young mans parting comment to his mother before the rave, "I love you mum I promise I wont die" Such a strange thing to say. Another comment from a teacher describes him as "Bright articulated and talented" - - -

Closer to home
Yesterday proved a little more agreeable weatherwise with the early fog giving way to patchy cloud and some weak sunshine.
Time enough though to take stock of the remaining pile of wood which is the other half of our winter garden decking project
This pic shows the pile and the site of the second decking area.  The wood which was delivered wet through anyway has failed to dry out at all even though it was covered with plastic sheeting.
After rigging a bit of wood between the 2 old pergola posts I stacked up the wood less the fence spindles and some ordinary fence posts in an attempt to dry it out a little
After sitting in the breeze and what sunshine we did see yesterday I cloaked it "with vents either end in plastic before the foretasted rain came hammering down after dark.  It'll be another week before we attempt to assemble it and we're hoping it might dry out a little!
Enjoy the day
