Beware cow on roof! & Champagne making time!

Now and again stories hit the news about animals getting onto roofs of buildings

Greenpeace bosses are

Holding their heads in their hands  as an employee has managed to wipe out some £3 million off the books!
He was speculating on the currency market tracking the Euro.
Whilst a spokesman indicates that they have taken measures to make sure it never happens again it makes you wonder how tight a rein they have on the financial side of things.  - - - I feel sure they must be bending at least of of their principles speculating on currency anyway? - - -

The recent trouble in Iraq

Threaten to engulf the "West" in their conflict as the US sends 300 Military Advisers The President says that "US troops will not fight in Iraq" - - - Mmmmmm  




Closer to home
I managed a little logging the other day and had help from a work colleague and friend, "lets call her Debs"

Here she helps pile up some of the sawn logs from a hawthorn bush

I had earlier started to saw it up after felling it and dragging it to the foot of the hill with Boris.

Debs brought along her recently acquired Honda CRV to test out it off roading abilities

"Lets try Elderflower Champagne" said Sally after ordering the kit online,  unfortunately it didn't arrive in time for Sally to join us to pick the blooms.  Once it had arrived i was despatched to pick the flowers stalks and prepare them

Sally adds the white wine vinegar to the mix and a few minutes later all is done.  It only takes 2 weeks to ferment and mature!!!   - - -

Our weather has settled down into cloudy in the morning and some sun in the afternoon of late. Here's a pic from Finland where the snow came along to remind them how fickle thier weather can be, it turned to rain later

Our new peanut feeder is beating the squirrel at the moment so he has turned his attention to the sunflower seeds!

 Sitting in the garden yesterday I just managed to catch a C130 flying down the valley, Its normally a Friday routine! - - - another one came along a couple of hours later - - -

Enjoy the day
